ACCESSORIES
The Booty Buddy
At the end of each summer, our bathing suit bottoms always seem to have the pilling and rips from spending many hours sitting on the edge of the pool. With The Original Booty Buddy on hand, there will be no more problems! The neoprene mat protects your bum, is waterproof, washable and easily rolls up to fit in your bag. It is also the perfect thing to take along to the beach! $18 at Wender and Roberts. wenderandrobertspharmacy.com

JEWELRY
Horn Bracelet
Such a fabulous bracelet for summer! The horn cuff has a twist and looks fabulous with a tan, whether it’s a natural one, or one from the bottle. It is a bit large, so if you have a slender wrist you will want to push it up your arm, just like Emily (our model for this photo) did. $200 at W. Port. www.shopwport.com
Horn bracelet, available at W. Port. $200.
