summer favorites

As of yesterday, summer is officially here! Woo hoo! That means it’s time to take out the swimsuit, heat up that bbq, drink iced coffees {or inside-out coffees!}, and spend as much time outdoors as possible! I put together some of my summer favorites above, from a pair of stylish gladiator flats to a sweet embroidered top to a water bottle that should be going with you everywhere! Stay hydrated…no excuses!

I also couldn’t forget beauty and skincare products. I just started using Kiehl’s UV Defense Sunscreen with an SPF of 50 {!} and it’s amazing. It goes on super light and has a matte finish {no grease face over here!}, and it’s water resistant for up to 80 minutes. Perfect for days in and out of the pool!

I’m a lipstick queen/hoarder but in the summertime I try to find lip products that are lighter and more sheer. Fresh makes a cult fave sugar lip treatment that has an SPF of 15, along with reparative oils and vitamins for lip care and protection. They have a bunch of tinted shades {the coral is my fave} that gives your lips a pretty dose of color. I was worried that I wouldn’t see enough color, especially considering how light the product was, but I was luckily wrong. It’s perfect for a hot summer day when you don’t want to worry about a thick lipstick getting smudged and melty!
