Style 101: Summer Essentials

My absolute favorite season is the summer! Aside from it being my birthday season, the summer means lake parties, outdoor shopping, and music festivals. I put together a list of summer must haves that will even get you through the hottest days in Texas. Here are some of the basics you need to start your summer vacation.


I know all of us love that fresh from the Bahamas glow but if you’re like me and you either peel or your tan never seems to look like you want it to; try this self tanner. Since my skin tone is pretty tan, I went with the Deep Dark Color and I am obsessed with this product! It takes your natural skin tone and kicks it up a notch leaving your skin evenly glowing and bronzed.


Obviously sunglasses are a necessity in the summer and these Tory Burch sunglasses are ultra chic, sophisticated yet still youthful. Cat eye shades are super sassy and fun! Love these particular cat eyes because of the tortoise color. It goes with absolutely everything.


Bold swimsuits are mandatory for the summer. With all the pool parties you’ll be attending, you want your swimsuit to stand out. I am currently obsessed with fitted, bustier tops right now and this swimsuit is vibrant, fun, and unique. I especially love the criss-cross detailed back and the cinched bottoms.


Just because a beach bag is necessary to put all of your things in doesn’t mean it has to be the typical boring straw bag. I’m a fan of bright colors, bold prints, and practical styles. This Mara Hoffman tote is big enough to hold everything you need, it’s stylish, and the tote style is light and comfortable on the shoulders. Functional and fashion forward-my kind of handbag!


Target is my go-to store for beach towels (unless of course, I spend too much money at Victoria’s Secret and get a free towel). Target beach towels have the coolest patterns with bright and fun colors. I love this feather printed towel. It’s fun, unique, and easy on the wallet.


Flip Flops are easy, comfortable, and summery. Love these flip flops by Dolce Vita. The gold accent around the front of the sandal definitely dresses up the simple flip flop silhouette and the espadrille sole is perfect for the summer. 





Hope you were inspired to try something new! xo
