Beach Day
Beach day survival kit: the items that keep me protected, comfortable, and feeling somewhat put together after six hours in the sun.
First of all you shouldn’t be putting anything less than 50 on your face every single day. It’s honestly been such a game changer in my skin routine.
Paula’s Choice Face Moisturizer with SPF 50
I hate laying on a towel at the beach because then sand gets everywhere and your neck is inevitably going to hurt- this is the only thing I bring with me to the beach now. It turns into a backpack and has storage!
Beach Chair with Face Hole for tanning
These are just a staple for the summer. They’re expensive yes but you only need one pair and you’re good for like 20 years. They come in so many funky fun colors too
Ray-Ban Icons 50mm Retro Sunglasses
A must need after a Long Beach day being baked in the sun. I go through sooo many bottles of these in the summer and I feel like it also prevents my skin from peeling and makes my tan look better- idk if it’s placebo or not but I love it
Radical Recovery Eco-Cert Organic After Sun Lotion - COOLA | Ulta Beauty
Everyday Essentials
My current daily lineup. Nothing revolutionary, just things that quietly make life easier.
You will never catch me in Jean shorts in the summer are you kidding? I’m on the east coast so summers are brutal and I live in these- they’re so cute too!
Halara Soft Backless Active Dress
Again- you will never catch me in Jean shorts in the summer.
this is the perfect bag for summer- it will fit all the essentials. I love the little pop of color it gives to any outfit too
Striped Shoulder Bag
This stuff is crack I don’t use foundation I just put a little of this all over and I have a base glow for the rest of the day. It gives your skin that dewy look
Bare Minerals Tinted Moisturizer with SPF
Closet Staples
My unofficial summer uniform: the closet staples that make getting dressed in the heat so much easier.
For the fourth of July??? Yesssssss 1,000,000%. It’s cashmere too so it’s so soft but so light and breathable at the same time.
Lightweight Cotton Cashmere Sweater
I know they’re technically pajamas, but I wear them outside of the house too because the prints are so cute and they’re the perfect length. No one would ever know 😉
On Repeat Lounge Shorts
Another cute 4th of July/Memorial Day/Labor Day/summer BBQ top. It’s also only 20 dollars right now!! 👀
Linen-Blend Short-Sleeve Smocked Top | Old Navy
Another great summer staple! It’s only $17 right now so I’m definitely adding it to my cart. I feel like this would also be flattering on so many different body types
Smocked-Bodice Fit & Flare Mini Dress | Old Navy
I love this top- you can dress it up too with a cute black mini skirt and some kitten keels and silver hoops I can see it now
Printed stretch chiffon flutter sleeve top
Swim
Some current pieces on wishlist this summer and a couple I already have in my closet!
This bathing suit is so cute it’s on my wishlist. It gives vintage vibes but at the same time it’s a modernized design!
Montce Romy Printed Bikini Top
Another suit on my wishlist- imagine for the 4th of July?!?! So cute, dainty, and girly!
For Love & Lemons Alison Bikini Bottoms
I love love love the print on this bikini. I tend to lean towards mid waisted bottoms too because then I’m less self conscious
Dippin Daisys Sydney Bikini Bottoms
I actually have this bathing suit myself and I love it! It’s 2 in one and I love the print on both sides equally
