Beach Baby {Layout}

I feel like I need to apologize in advance for the inevitable earworm this post is going to cause. Ever since I thought up this layout (like 3 weeks ago) I’ve been randomly busting out with “LONG HOT DAYS (do do do do do do) COOL SEA HAZE (do do do do do do) JUKE BOX PLAYS but now it’s …
