About Nora
Summer’s ending but Nora’s still thinking about swimsuits. She realized that she didn’t enjoy the summer as much as she’d hoped because she didn’t love her swimsuit or her swim wardrobe. Nora requested moderate coverage and support and is interested in the color orange. (She went to UVA.) She describes her style as “sexy coastal grandma” and is open to ideas of what that could look like. She usually wears a size large and is about 5′ 7″ and leans towards wanting a bikini. The only real requirements for Nora are that her swim wardrobe is classy and beautiful (and orange).

I love Nora’s description of “sexy coastal grandma” style! I chose the Marigold Ruched Holiday Balconette Underwire Bikini Top and matching Marigold Ruched High Line Bikini Bottom from Peony Swimwear. The color of this bikini, with the subtle pattern is unique, classy, and beautiful. The cut of these two pieces is also lovely with customization options in the top to allow Nora to choose what feels best on her body (removable cups, adjustable straps and back closure). The ruching across the cups is flattering and forgiving. The bottoms are high-leg with ruching details over the hips provides moderate coverage and elongates Nora’s legs. BONUS: Peony Swimwear is woman-owned, ethical, and sustainable!
How beautiful is the Seashell Pointelle Mini Dress also by Peony? It’s got all the right vintage feels with bell long sleeves and pointelle trim, with a modern scoop back and wide neck. It’s also made of orgnaic cotton and recycled materials. Perfect to wear over the Peony bikini and easy to take off and put on poolside. Hi, sexy grandma! BONUS: Peony Swimwear is woman-owned, ethical, and sustainable!
I couldn’t resist adding the seashell bead-embellished Lanai Headband by Deepa Gurnani to Nora’s look. The colors and the design effortless glam-up the coastal grandma style! BONUS: Deepa Gurnani is woman-owned and ethical!
Tory Burch Mini Miller Jelly Thong Sandal in Ivory are an easy choice to match and balance out the accessories in the capsule.
A fresh and classic white Mallorca Pool Towel by Serena and Lily with small tassels for a dash of detail fits with Nora’s essentials in the Small Tuscan Tote by Hat Attack with subtle white stripes and seashell embellishments on the pom pom!
The nude and pink gradient Cat Eye sunglasses by Dolce and Gabbana are just the right shades to vibe with Nora’s color and style preferences.
Because I am always promoting embracing joy, I added in one of my favorite books, Joyful by Ingrid Fetell Lee. That orange popsicle on the cover looked too cute with the rest of Nora’s capsule.
