Those Summer Essentials

June 17, 2014

I am spinning this weeks Products I’m Digging Lately post and sharing some of my favorite Summer picks that are trending on my radar.  I have about half of the things listed and the other half are on that illustrious 30th birthday wish list.  Check out this list of my Summer Essentials!

I can never really decide what my favorite season is but if I had to choose it would be Summer.  I just love the laid back feeling, hair a little lighter, skin a little tanner, flip flops, windows down kind of mood it creates.  Summer has it’s own dress code, feeling and products and I wanted to give you my top list of Summer Essentials.

Totally loving this dual purpose Maaji Beach Bag that is pretty enough to use for your everyday purse.  Keeping the jewelry light and minimal with this bar pendant necklace.  Two splurge bikini tops that you can pair with inexpensive solid bottoms to cut down on the price.  Obsessed with the straps on this Maaji top and the cutout detail on this black L Space top.

Protecting your tresses and face with this sunhat.  All about minimal layers on your skin with tinted mineral sunscreen.  Don’t forget about your body!  I absolutely love spray sunscreen.  SPF 40 and absorbs very quickly.  Making sure to keep those eyes protected with these mirrored sunnies.

Gorgeous Summer print maxi.  The most comfortable and neutral flip flops that I seriously live in all Summer.  Essential pair of white shorts.  We just started carrying this line at our studio and I am obsessed with this Sea, Sun & Sand tank.  It sold out the first day we got it in.  Finally perfect pedicure color with this Butter nail polish.

Did you know that SHOPBOP (which has amazing customer service btw.  Two pairs of Tory Burch sandals stolen off my door step. They sent me replacement pairs without even batting an eyelash) is now affiliated with Amazon??  Of course they are.  Hello two day Prime shipping.  You could have those sunglasses by the weekend…..just saying.  Of course free shipping and returns!

What are you Summer Essentials???  Did I hit all the major ones?

    Need all the Maaji stuff! I like the rainbow maxi dress and I’ve been digging the shorts with the pockets sticking out underneath lately.

    Tieks are totally on my radar too – just not the flip flops – I don’t like how they feel haha! That is terrible about your TB sandals but way to go shop bop…that’s some amazing customer service!! Bright nail polish and a fun maxi – totally on my summer essentials list!!

    Oh, that maxi dress is gorgeous, I love all those colors. I picked up another one at Target the other day, and I was thinking of you. I really need to cool it with the maxi’s, but I can’t help myself!

    I got the black top and wore it last weekend, I loved it as much as I thought I would. I also really love that necklace you picked out.

    I love those bar pendant necklaces, do that is definitely on my list. As are max is and jumpers (if I can find them long enough). Oh and floppy hats for sun bathing that I shouldn’t be doing. ;)

    I can’t get enough of that Maaji top. The colors are gorgeous and I love the back straps!

    Summer is definitely my favourite too! I want those shorts! But first, I need to tan…

  15. MakeMeUpMia says

    June 17, 2014 at 2:02 PM

    I can’t even tell you how bad I want that tank, perfect for once we move. I love it! Maxi dresses/skirts are my go to. I have super white legs that just don’t tan well, so I don’t wear shorts often, dresses are nice and cool though :)

    June 17, 2014 at 2:09 PM

    These are fabulous picks! I’ve never ordered anything from Shopbop, but that could be dangerous with the Amazon affiliation now.

  17. Katie Elizabeth says

    June 17, 2014 at 2:41 PM

    Summer just makes me happy! I want that bar necklace and the maxi and the sunglasses and pretty much everything here! And yay for amazing customer service – I had a similar situation with Amazon and I had my replacement package in 24 hours!

  18. Corbin Page says

    June 17, 2014 at 2:41 PM

    Love that bathing suit top!

    I didn’t know shopbop was associated with Amazon now! Make sense that they’d have great customer service though.

    I love that Butter polish! I’ve never actually tried them… does it hold up pretty well against chipping and whatnot?

  40. Carly Blogs Here says

    June 17, 2014 at 11:14 PM

    I have a love/hate relationship with these posts. I LOVE them because you always find the best things, but hate them because it makes me want to go buy all of it! haha That beach bag is gorgeous!

  41. Kayla MKOY says

    June 18, 2014 at 1:00 AM
