In the Summertime

In the Summertime - Mungo Jerry, 1970

In the summertime when the weather is hot, you can stretch right up and touch the sky...

When the weather is hot, Lizzy Andress will still be the epitome of cool in the chic look seen on our cover. A budding vocalist and musician (and daughter of Saint Simons Music co-owner, guitar instructor, and local musician Marc Andress) Lizzy wears sunglasses and a black Kia one-piece swimsuit by Mara Hoffman from Cloister Collection, a black straw hat from St. Simons Drugs Company, and fabulous bracelets from Ronne’s on Market Street.

Talented vocalist and wizard on the keys, Michaele Hannemann will be comfortable and stylish all summer long in this cropped tassel top and high waisted linen pants from Ronne’s on Market Street. Her cute tasseled beach bag is from St. Simons Drug Company. Sunglasses, hat, earrings and necklace are some of the fabulous accessories available at Go Fish Clothing & Jewelry.

Beat the Summer

Beat the Summer - Brad Paisley, 2013

There's heaven right here on these streets and these docks, but the sun keeps setting and the days go fast, and the sand on the beach is like an hourglass...

Nothing beats spending lazy summer days with loved ones in the Golden Isles! Beth Fletcher, a/k/a Suzy of Suzy and the Bird Dogs, and her musician husband Erik, also a member of the band, share a quiet moment on the beautiful grounds of the St. Simons Grand. Beth is ready for the summer sun in a breezy striped cotton maxi, necklace, and earrings from Ronne’s on Market Street. Erik beats the summer heat in a lightweight shirt and shorts from Gentleman’s Outfitters.

Summertime

Summertime - Ella Fitzgerald, 1968

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing, and you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky...

And the livin’ is easy! Here Beth Fletcher takes it easy with some pool time in this beautiful multi-colored Lydia bikini by Mara Hoffman from Cloister Collection. Her eyewear is from the Cloister Collection’s extensive selection of sunnies, while her fun flower earrings are from Go Fish Clothing & Jewelry, and Butler’s Stash supplied the hat.

You Are My Sunshine

You Are My Sunshine - Jimmie Davis, Charles Mitchell, 1939

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray

Although there are no grey skies here, it’s clear that Tarah McKinney’s baby girl Blakely makes her happy and is the sunshine of her life. Blakely’s sunny yellow bubble suit with embroidered flamingos is one of the many cute summer looks for little ones at The Bailey Boys. Tarah’s striped linen wrap dress from Cloister Collection is ideal for daytime outings, lunch dates, and summer strolls.

Summer Breeze

Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind...

Summer breeze is just what makes Leah Powers feel fine at the beach in this navy Vitamin A bikini from Cloister Collection.

Sunglasses at Night

These sparkling Jimmy Choo sunglasses from Seaside Ophthalmology are so fabulous they might even tempt Leah to wear her sunglasses at night!

Boys of Summer

Boys of Summer - Don Henley, 1984

And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong, after the boys of summer have gone.

When you think of Boys of Summer, naturally you think baseball. America’s pastime. Here with her ballplayer son Will, Beth Lowery wears a festive embroidered top and cropped jeans from Lady Outfitters. Accessorized with earrings from Go Fish Clothing & Jewelry and fringed sandals from Butler’s Stash, this cool and comfortable outfit can take her from an afternoon in the stands watching her favorite “boy of summer” on the diamond to a picnic in the park.

Summertime Blues

Summertime Blues - Eddie Cochran, 1958

Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do, 'cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues...

There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues.  But when they look this good, you don’t need one! Leah wears a long chambray dress from Yellow Canary accessorized with earrings from Go Fish Clothing & Jewelry. Lizzy sports a navy and white bow sleeve top, straight leg white jeans and star necklaces from Yellow Canary.
