One Last Summer Splash with Laya Swim and IGOR Shoes

Before we leave the hot days behind for cozy fall, there’s one last opportunity to get into the water: Labor Day weekend. Whether you’re hitting the beach, the lake, or the pool, Laya Swim and IGOR Shoes have your summer fashion covered. 

Dreamer Top from Laya Swim

This gorgeous bikini top is both flattering and versatile. It features a deep plunge neckline for a sexy silhouette, but the wide straps and under-bust band keep everything supported. You can also tie the front strings in a variety of ways to match your personal style. The Dreamer Top comes in 9 different colors; I love the cornflower blue shade, but the dark lavender and simple clay are also beautiful. 

Laya Swim uses high-quality Spanish fabric, making their swimwear buttery soft and comfortable. Each piece is crafted by local artisans in Mauritius and is made to last, so you can wear them season after season. 

Jelly Sandals from IGOR 

We’re not here to settle the jelly sandals debate. (But, for the record, I grew up wearing jelly sandals and have no problem rocking them as an adult.) Whether you’re on team controversial or team cute, you can’t deny that they’re practical. 

A factory in Alicante, Spain thoughtfully crafts IGOR’s jelly sandals by hand. The shoes are created from a strong PVC material that makes them both waterproof and durable, holding up to strong waves and long walks alike. I find that the Rosa color is neutral enough to pair with most outfits while adding a fun pop of personality and a hint of nostalgia.
