Summer Staples

Summer is fully here in Chicago and I’m so ready to start soaking up every ounce of sunshine. Here are just a few items that will be staples for me this summer while I’m working at the farmer’s market, laying out on the beach, or going for a hike.

  1. Lack of Colors Spencer Boater Hat

Straw boater hat, summer staple, hats for summer, walking hat

I’m headed to Cape Cod for my annual girl’s trip with two of my best friends from my hometown (I’ll be doing a post all about how we prepped for our trip and what all we are getting up to) and we’ve scheduled for multiple days of hanging out on the beach. All three of us our southern girls that grew up vacationing on the white beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, so us lounging on the beach with a margarita in hand is our kind of day. I’m crazy about my sunscreen and this hat is a plus in helping me protect my skin from the sun. This hat is so cute, you could throw your hair into a bun with chunky gold hoops, and continue wearing your hat to dinner!

2. Sunscreen Makeup - ColorScience

The age-old question of “what would you tell your younger self”? One of the things I would tell my younger self would be to start wearing sunscreen as soon as possible! I only got religious about my daily sunscreen use during my sophomore/junior year of college. This sunscreen makeup from ColorScience is such a great product, they have blushes, bronzers, tinted moisturizers, and more. I’ll be using this to touch up my makeup after hours spent at the market or walking around the city.

3. Outdoor Voices Skort

Okay, if you know me then you know skorts are nothing new in my wardrobe. I have so many from Outdoor Voices because I love them so much. I love the fact that I get the femininity of a skirt but I’m fully covered while I’m running around at the market, hiking, or going for long walks. Skorts are super easy to dress up or keep sporty - they are perfect for the mom on the go all the way to the student hurrying to class.

4. Chunky Gold Hoops

These are the Carolyn Hoops that I just launched in the Dreamers Collection. I love these chunky gold hoops because they are gold filled (no irritation and they will keep this beautiful shine for a long time), can be worn by themselves as their own statement, or paired with others for a super fun trendy look.
