Nothing says summer quite like getting a few good girlfriends together for a lazy poolside afternoon. And nothing says summer quite like when said afternoon involves a slew of Whispering Angel rosé, fish tacos and some of your newest summer garb. Which is why, I'm so excited to kick off my summer officially today with the launch of Cooper & Ella's swim cover up collection now available exclusively at Dream Hotels.

Best part? I've teamed up with my go-to girls, Christine and Grace as the fellow faces of the collection -- each of us honored with our unique print. You can snag a "Krystal," "Christine" or "Grace" of your own for the pool parties ahead. They're all incredible versatile but my favorite is the pareo -- you can tie it handful of different ways for a new look each time.

If you happen to be in the New York area, you can shop the collection at The Beach at the Dream Downtown at their pop-up inside the hotel and while you're at it, scoop up a day pass for the pool and order the (Mega) Moscow Mule you see above -- it comes in a HUGE copper mug.
