Happy Memorial Day 2016 everyone! I hope you’ve been enjoying the nice long weekend with your friends and family, but don’t forget the real reason why we’re celebrating this holiday. Before all the fun BBQs, pool parties and sale shopping, we must take a moment to remember all the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country so that we may live freely.

Of course after honoring those brave men and women, I encourage you to enjoy this beautiful day. We’ve had the most amazing weather over here in Louisiana as you can see in the photos below. I packed up my watermelon cooler bag and took one of my new ModCloth swimsuits and round beach towels out for a spin at a local state park beach. Speaking of this swimsuit, it’s currently marked down + an extra 20% OFF with code: SOHOT! Today is the last day to use that promo code so don’t miss out! Also, there are only three of these floral round towels left so if you love it as much as I do, you might want to scoop that up today while you can get free shipping at ModCloth!
