Hey Preps!!
Long time, no blog! Sorry I haven't posted lately, but can you believe Summer is almost over?! I am so sad. I have been long awaiting warm weather because of Summer wardrobe! Tank tops, shorts, skirts, sundresses and sandals. My favorites! Sadly Summer is wrapping up, but these are my essential Summer items:
1.
Lilly Pulitzer Beach Tote
I recently saw this bag in the store and fell in love. The adorable prints you can find as this tote isn't the only thing that makes this bag special. It comes with its own water-resistant pouch inside! You can remove the pouch as a separate bag. It is a two-for-one beach tote. You can use the clear/patterned outer layer of the bag and then use the pouch for anything. It is perfect for a day by the water. You could honestly use this bag for anything. I know that some football stadiums only allow large bags if you can see inside them, so you could use this for more than the beach. Let alone that it is super bright and fun!!
Let me tell you, these shorts are the
best. I just got the pair in the pattern "Multi Beach and Bae" and they are my new favorite pair of shorts to style and wear. The material is so comfortable, it is great for doing all your daily errands. The best part of these shorts is that they can go with absolutely anything. They can be paired with a casual tee, a fun tank or even your favorite t-shirt on a lazy day. They aren't just regular Lilly shorts that usually go with an outfit for going out. This is why they are so fun to style.
Gap tops are always a go-to. They are cute year-round. Every season they always have the most fun things. Adorable sweaters in Winter, fun 3/4 sleeves in Fall, stylish short-sleeves in Spring and of course, the best tanks in Summer. I live by these tops for sure. Whether they are printed or a solid color they are always the best design and material.
I know these are everywhere, other blogs, on Instagram and everywhere in stores, but that is because not only are they very popular, they are definitely worth their price. They can jazz up any outfit, they go with casual outfits and super fancy ones and fit so well. These sandals are the best addition to a Summer wardrobe.
Another pair of sandals that I adore. My favorite part of these sandals are the gold and brown together, I think they look great paired with each other. These pair very well with any outfit that has a lot of color in it. They seem to tone the outfit down when a lot is going on and I like that a lot.
These necklaces are a year-round favorite of mine, but I wanted to include it in the Summer essentials because they are definitely an essential. These are so small and delicate that they can complete a Summer look. When the weather is super hot, you don't want to wear a huge statement necklace or some big piece of jewelry because it is too much and gets sweaty and warm. These are great because when you still want to wear jewelry, they pull an outfit together while keeping it light.
This swimsuit is so preppy. I love how perfect the delicate white trim looks with the solid navy blue suit. I think the white really completes the suit. This is perfect for a day by the pool.
This top is such great quality and has the cutest print with all the tiny whales as the pattern. This is not only super cute, it has the best shape that keeps you from getting weird tan lines, which is always a plus. I really like this top because it doesn't move around when you are swimming. It stays in place which is super amazing. This top is essential for a great day by the water.

Jadelynn Brooke Tank Top
This is definitely one of my favorites. I usually wear this tank as a cover up when I go to the pool, but some days I pair it with Nike shorts and sneakers for a casual look. I really like the brightness of this shirt and how fun it is for a hot Summer day. It can be paired with anything, which is great because it is so comfortable and soft. If you want to get one yourself for 15% off, use my coupon code "CPHS17" at checkout!

J.Crew Shorts
Normally, for the solid colored shorts I tend to lean towards Gap to get those, but J.Crew has some super cute and unique shorts this Summer. They have gingham, and other printed or embroidered designs. These are so cute because you can find them in different materials and designs. This season's shorts are very unique and fun to style with classic tops.
11.
Old Navy Sundress
I always prefer sundresses from Old Navy because they have so many options. They have different designs from shift to fit and flare. Old Navy has so many different options for great prices! I like to get the solid colors and striped dresses because it is a nice switch from all the florals and prints from Lilly. These are a great thing to have during the Summer because they are perfect for going out to dinner or you can throw one on to run errands because thy are so casual.
Here are my favorite items to have during the Summer! Check back later for more posts on the blog, I am planning to do a lot this Summer!
