Today I want to talk to you about some of the things I am obsessing over for summer. Next to fall, summer is my favorite season. I would call it a close second. I LOVE laying by the pool, taking my sweet Sophie to the park, and just being outside in general.
So today I am going to share with you what I deem my “Summer Essentials”.
~ A good pair of flip flops. I live in Yellow Box flip flops during the summer. I usually buy two pair at the beginning of summer when they go on sale and they will last all summer long. They mold to your feet and are just amazing!
~ A yummy drink in my hand. Yes this is essential.
~ Cute summer dresses! Light weight summer dresses are essential in the south where it’s probably going to get above 100* and have 100% humidity.
~ A pretty ponytail. See above mentioned reasons for summer dresses.
~ Good thick moisturizing lotion/body butter! Let’s be honest here, the summer sun will dry your skin out SUPER FAST and you don’t want to look like a crocodile when your’e 40. Or do you?
~ Acne face wash! Even though I am 30 my face still breaks out during the summer. I depend on Clinique to keep me clear.
~Zebra print Sanuks. I recently bought my very first pair of Sanuks and they are seriously THE MOST COMFORTABLE SHOE IN THE WORLD. They will definitely be a summer staple and I have heard tell that Hay’s Store in Searcy AR has a great deal on them…
I’m pretty sure there are more things but my brain is too busy thinking about how much I can’t wait for summer that I can’t think of any! HA!
ohhh 100% humidity! can’t say i’m excited about that!
LOVE that clinique stuff, too!
LOVE it. I’m going to have to check out Yellow Box flip flops! I’ve never heard of those, but, I’m in DIRE need for new flip flops for the season. That summer dress is to die for & I’m hoping that I can get my hair grown out a little more for hairstyles JUST like that one :)
I’m so ready for summer! I love using clinique too. My skin is so sensitive and their stuff seems to work best for me.
a ponytail is ALWAYS a summer essential. ha. this was a cute post! that dress was ADORABLE! I want it NOW! haha.
That margarita looks amazing! I am going to have to try it!
I love flip flops… especially old navy ones but now at twenty-five, I think I’m outgrowing them. I need some “adult” flip flops!
Love all of your summer essentials! Makes me excited about summer getting here and enjoying some time by the pool and wearing shorts and flipflops every day and enjoying a good cold beverage without wishing there were better hot alternatives to alcohol haha.
Humidity is the death of me in the summer. I remember last summer being at a softball tournament with Chelsea and telling her I felt like I was swimming when I went outside. I even think we have a picture of us letting the air conditioner in the hotel room blow up our shirts we were so hot.
And again, that pony tail ahh! I love it. And it looks perfect. I wish I was talented enough to do that with my hair!
