In my humble opinion, there are few things better than a day spent on an island beach. The Florida Keys are my go-to island destination when I want to chill out, wind down, & get out of the city for a little bit. So when I first got some beautiful new pieces from TAVIK Swimwear, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to pack up a little picnic for one & take off to clear my mind.

I discovered TAVIK a couple years ago during Miami Swim Week and the brand immediately pulled me in. Their patterns, prints, & designs are classic yet modern, which I think makes their brand wonderfully timeless. As someone who typically favors neutrals, TAVIK manages to create colorways that I can’t help but be drawn to. Warm earth tones accompanied by pops of bright hues evoke an effortless laid back feeling. TAVIK is the ultimate cool-girl swimwear brand to me, but above all else the quality of their apparel & swimwear is impeccable.
I have even more on the way from TAVIK, so keep a lookout in the near future! I’m head-over-heels for this brand and if you aren’t already, I know you will be soon! Also, if you ever have any questions for me [e.g., sizing, locating items online] please always feel free to ask away in the comments! As always, sending lots of tropical vibes your way!

You tan is so beautiful, what do you use for body lotion, tanning lotion.. What did you use to get that beautiful tan? You were a smal in most clothes? If you don’t find how tall are you and what do you weigh that might help out for sizing with clothes. Thank You. I love your site💗
Hey Sheila!
Thank you so much! My tan is natural and I give all the credit to the Miami sun for keeping me golden year round. But I use Kopari Beauty products religiously to keep my skin hydrated & glowing, which helps prolong my tan stay while spending less time in the sin. I usually wear an XS-S because I’m very petite at 4’11 and at this point in my life my weight is usually around 90 lbs, give or take a few. I tailor a lot of my clothing to fit how it’s intended to look though! Hope that helps & thank you so so much for all your support, it means the world! Xx
Beautiful photos!
