My 5 Summer Essentials

With warmer weather in full swing, having summer essentials vary for everyone and differ season by season. A few beauty products and fashion favorites make my essentials a necessity to survive the heat waves.

They’ve been revamped over the years and have also been items I’ve been drawn to each season! I know we all have that favorite product or fashion item we like to use or wear every summer, so I thought I’d share mine!

1. Staple Dresses

Summer can’t be complete without a staple dress! I typically like to update my dress collection with a trending color or style every year, but classic colors like black, white or brown are usually my go to dresses to wear for an outing. My go to shops are Oh Polly or Selfie Leslie for some cute summer dresses!

2. Swimsuits

Swimsuits are another summer essential! However, I can’t say that I do update my swim every year, but if there’s a cute swim suit that I have been seeing everywhere or just recently come across, than I’ll consider buying it! I’ve recently been guilty of splurging on a few pieces from Revolve and I’m loving every piece of it!

3. Body oil

I love a good dewey body glow, especially if I’m going swimming or to the beach! Right now I’m loving Ouai’s Rose Hair & Body oil. I like to combine it with my body lotion for that extra moisturizing effect!

4. Trendy Sandals

Open toed sandals to platform sandals are a must to survive the summer heat! They are my go to shoe to run errands or just where around the house! I just recently added a few sandals to my collection from Burlington and Nordstrom and I am scouting for more!

5. Athleisure look

During the summer I like to run errands in a comfy top and bottom and that’s typically in an oversized T with biker shorts or leggings. Right now I’m obsessing over Oh Polly’s Bo + Tee collection and I’m currently scouting for new pieces!

Thanks for reading, that’s all for now! Ladies, do these summer necessities ring true for you too? Let me know in the comments what your summer essentials are?
