Beach Astrology: Cancer

Beach Astrology: Cancer

Happy Cancer season! Cancers are the Mom Friend of the zodiac and if there’s one in your vacation entourage, count yourself lucky. They’re at South Beach Place before everyone else to stock your en-suite fridge with cold water and snacks, and they’ll remind you every two hours to reapply your sunscreen. Show a Cancer sincere gratitude for their efforts and thoughtfulness and you’ll win a friend for life. Cancer is ruled by the moon and if you’ve come to associate this sign with moodiness, just know that those bouts of crabbiness will recede like the tide and there’s nothing like a healthy dose of South Florida sunshine to fix what ails you.

Meryl Streep and Dennis Quaid in Postcards from the Edge

We picked Meryl Streep as our Cancer celebrity for embodying Cancerian gifts like an abundant emotional range, as evidenced by her long and successful acting career, and a cheerful warmth and easy laugh that can make even a total stranger feel at home. Get into the Cancer vibe with us: grab your favorite drink, settle into your coziest spot, and read on as we delve into our beachside picks for these crustacean sensations!

Like we said, Cancer is the Mom Friend, and we want to embrace that divine, maternal, ultrafeminine energy without looking matronly. Crochet swimwear is the perfect intersection of cozy and sexy and is having a moment right now! This one-piece from Boston Proper features a super figure-flattering cut and comes in a beautiful berry hue that will chase those moody blues away.

For our plus-sized bombshells, we love this high-necked halter suit by Becca in a romantic dusty rose.

Cancer’s domain on the human body is the chest so adorn your glorious decolletage with this gorgeous tribute to your ruling planet, a rainbow moonstone pendant necklace from Local Eclectic. The vintage-inspired setting is so romantic and poetically beautiful. While you’re on vacation at South Beach Place, have fun with it and make up a story about it being a treasured family heirloom or a gift from a mysterious admirer. We won’t tell 😉 (Note: Remember to protect your “girls” with sunscreen and protect your jewelry by putting it on AFTER your skincare).

Cancer, you’re the type to remember in photographic detail when someone does you a kindness. You probably have a desk drawer full of thank you cards already but while you’re in Vero Beach, pick up a set of 8 from local stationery design house Idlewild Co. to add a little Florida flavor to your collection.

This tote by Madewell is perfect for your stay at South Beach Place and wherever your travels may take you. Made from durable hemp cotton, the Sicilia tote features a sweet-as-pie gingham pattern and interior pockets for organizing all the extra water bottles and snacks you packed in case anyone needs them. It’s lightweight and foldable, making it a great travel alternative to traditional straw beach bags. Plus, it doubles as an earth-friendly shopping bag for all the fresh goodies you’ll find at the Oceanside Farmers Market. Borrow one of our beach cruisers for free and you’ll be there in less than 10 minutes.

Finally, sink into your lovingly curated vintage seating in your room at South Beach Place and treat your freshly sun kissed skin to some TLC.
