5 Summer Essentials (That Won’t Go Out Of Style)

Looks, Summer

June 6, 2018

When it comes to style, sometimes things can get complicated. So many trends, so little time. That’s why when it really comes down to it, I like to start with the summer essentials. And even though it’s like 60 degrees in Chicago today, it’s still time to talk summer. Because it’s coming. I promise. (I think.)

When it comes to summer essentials, some things are worth a splurge. I recently splurged on these sunnies, and I LOVE them. (And I haven’t even lost them yet…) I have a small face and it can be tough to find aviators that don’t overwhelm me. These are perrrrfect. 

But, you also know I love a good deal, like these babiesDon’t worry, I’ve included both splurges and saves in each category below. 

I’d love to hear: what are YOUR summer essentials? Let me know in the comments below! Thanks for stopping by, sweet friends!

Summer essentials, chic sunglasses

CHIC SUNNIES

Because your future is bright. I wear these aviators every single day and LOVE them.

 
Summer essentials, circle straw tote

A CIRCLE STRAW TOTE

Because absolutely nothing says summer more than a straw tote (and tan tootsies).

Summer essentials, flat sandals

FLAT SANDALS

Even though I love me some wedges, flats are my everyday go-to. I’ve recently ordered some SUUUUPER cute flat sandals and they’re all under $25 (above), which means there’s just no excuse not to add some chic flat sandals to your summer wardrobe.

Summer essentials, denim cut offs

DENIM CUT OFFS

If you can’t tell by now, I LIVE in my denim shorts in the summer. They’re so classic and go with absolutely anything –  whether it’s espadrille wedges or chucks, an easy tank or a summer sweater.

Summer essentials, safe sunscreen

SAFE SUNSCREEN

Protect that pretty skin! Hands down, this is my most favorite sunscreen ever.  No harmful ingredients and it isn’t sticky or slimy. And it smells amazing.

    I love these essentials and want the beach tote! I am such a tote girl. I wear denim shorts all the time in the summer so I guess that is my must have. Reading this made me remember I need a new pair of sunglasses too!

  12. rebecca says:

    I am a sunglasses addict. I always keep pairs in my car, diaper bag, purse, and usually on my head. I truly think it is the biggest difference maker when it comes to wrinkles around the eyes.

I love that ‘To the beach’ tote but the shipping costs more than the bag because I’m in the UK. I’m gonna have to have a look and see if I can find anything similar over here.
