Pink Flamingo Floaty – These floats are perfect for adults or kids and they are SO cute!
Drink Floaty – Who doesn’t need a flamingo drink floaty to go along with their giant flamingo floaty? These drink holders come in a pack of six.
Rosé Pool Floaty – because what is better than a pool day with a glass of rosé? A pool day floating on a giant rosé bottle with a glass of rosé in hand, thats what!
Animal Print Bandeau Bikini – I personally love a good animal print but if thats not your thing this bikini comes in 30 colors so you will definitely find a color and pattern that fit your style.
Crochet Beach Cover Up – This boho swimsuit cover is perfect for a pool or beach day or to wear around a resort. It also comes in black and beige and it’s under $20.
Maxi Dress with Pockets – Maxi dresses are an absolute must have for the summer! They’re cool and breezy and can be worn into the night with a denim jacket or sweater. Plus this one has pockets and comes in over 20 colors
Button Mini Dress – This is the perfect every day dress for summer. It also comes in a ton of colors and patterns and it’s super affordable. Throw on a cute hat and a pair of sandals and you are good to go.
Levi’s Distressed Shorts – Denim cut-offs are a summer necessity and Levi’s are an absolute classic. You can’t go wrong with a pair of these shorts. They go with tees, tanks, sweaters, hoodies, pretty much everything. I’ve seen identical pairs of Levi’s at boutiques for 3x the price, so I would definitely snag these on amazon.
Casual Draw String Shorts – These shorts are everywhere this season, they are cute, comfy and keep you cool. For those of you who are feeling a little more trendy and adventurous grab these in the leopard or tie-dye print.
Sun Bum SPF 50 Sun Screen – Really no need to explain this one; skin care is so important and using a good sunscreen should be a step in your everyday routine. Sun Bum is an awesome brand for vegan and reef friendly SPF products.
Face Stick Sun Screen – This stick is so easy for applying sunscreen to your face and it is water resistant. If you’d prefer to have your SPF in your makeup, my go to foundation is the IT Cosmetics CC Cream with SPF 50+. Not only does it safely shield your skin from the sun but it gives a gorgeous finish to your skin!
Brazilian Crush Body Mist – This is arguably the best scent on the planet. This is one I use everyday and I am hooked. It has notes of pistachio, almond, heliotrope, jasmine petals, vanilla, salted caramel, and sandalwood, and yes, it is as good as it sounds.
Tropical Scented Body Wipes – These wipes come in multiple scents and can be used for your whole body to remove dirt, odors and sweat. Perfect for camping, to throw in your beach bag, or just as a refresher on a hot sweaty day.
Sun Hat – This hat is under $25 and comes in a ton of colors! It would look so great with the buttoned mini dress or on the beach with a bikini.
Steve Madden Kimmie Sandals – These are the perfect summer sandal, they go with everything and they give you some height without being uncomfortable to walk in. If you prefer black, white, nude, or a fun pop of color or print there is an option for you.
Sam Edelman Sandals – Another great sandal option that is easy to slip on while heading out the door. These are also a perfect dupe for the Tory Burch Miller Sandals.
Woven Rattan Bag – This is another piece that is awesome for this time of the year. It makes every outfit look summer ready and on trend for an affordable price.
Kate Spade Insulated Cooler Bag – This bag is adorable and functional! It is a nice large size to pack food for the whole family (or just a ton of drinks for you and the girls) for a beach day. It is also a great price for a designer tote.
Mesh Beach Bag – This beach bag has a place for everything and it even comes with a waterproof cell phone bag and a separate zippered bag for your valuables.
Glass Tumbler – This glass tumbler comes with a bamboo lid, straws and a silicone nonslip sleeve. I use this glass literally every day for water, iced coffee, you name it. It also comes in a ton of colors and multi-pack options.
Insulated Champagne Tumblers – Wether you’re at a picnic or in the pool these tumblers are a must have for summer and all year round. They also come with lids and straws and they make a great present too!
Tassel Beach Blanket – This towel/blanket comes in multiple prints and is a must have for picnics and beach days. Plus that fringe detail makes any setup so cute.
Loving Tan Sunless Tanner – Now I understand that not everyone a. has time to go tanning and b. has the ability to even get tan which is why this next one is so great. If you want to achieve a gorgeous glowing tan without spending hours under the harmful sun a sunless tanner is the way to go. This one is a favorite and gives you beautiful results in 2 hours.
Tanning Mitt – Don’t forget a tanning mitt to go with your self tanner. I use this one myself, it is the best I’ve found and it is only $7. I’d highly recommend this one to anyone who needs a new tanning mitt.
