Striped Tee | I love a simple go-to striped shirt during the summer. Pair it with white denim, your favorite chinos or tuck in to a skirt for a more tailored look. A simple striped shirt is the perfect way to be comfortable and look cute all while staying cool in the hot summer sun.
Baseball Cap | Protect your face from the harsh summer sun in an adorable baseball cap. Whether you choose to sport your favorite sports team or one of these adorable needlepoint hats from Tuckernuck, a good hat always comes in handy in the summer.
Turkish Towel | These Turkish towels from Design Darling are the perfect summer accessory. If you are vacationing in the mountains, spending a long weekend at the beach or simply taking the afternoon off for a picnic in the park, these towels are perfect no matter the occasion.
Carry-On Spinner | How adorable is the monogram on this suitcase? You certainly won't mixup your bag at the baggage claim when you use this beauty!
Sleeveless Work Dress | A simple go-to sleeveless dress is a must for work in the summer. It is important to look good and stay cool during the summer months.
Lightweight Cardigan | If you're like me, it is 100 degrees outside, but inside you're freezing. The cold air-conditioning in the office is at time unbearable, making me long for the humid warmth of the outdoors. To keep comfortable during the summer, I bring a lightweight cardigan to work.
Straw Tote | Straw is one of my favorite things about summer. Straw hats, totes, clutches, I love it all! This tote from J.Crew is my daily go-to purse May-August!
Lately pineapples have been everywhere. Pineapples have always been popular in home decor and now they are popping up in clothing and accessories. I absolutely love this trend. Kate Spade recently released their pineapple collection and Tuckernuck is full of great pineapple accessories!
Here are a few of my favorite pineapple accessories.
Have you tried any of Kiel James Patrick's apparel? I absolutely love KJP's bracelets, necklaces and accessories, so I am confident the apparel is equally as amazing. The scalloped oxford shirt has been on my radar for a while, but the sleeveless scalloped oxford is even better! I love how perfect this top is for the summer. I wear button-down oxford shirts to work all the time and this one is exactly what I need to add to my summer wardrobe.

Have you seen all the adorable swan, duck and flamingo pool floats all over Instagram? Oh my gosh the Blogger Day in Southampton (check out Summerwind's post here) that Country Club Prep hosted looked amazing! The Snapchats and Instagrams were so fun. Those adorable swan pool floats are from an adorable company called Sunnylife. Ever since I discovered this company earlier this summer, I have been in love! They have so many adorable summer party and beach day essentials.
July is officially here. It is hard to believe it, but Florida has had a relatively mild summer so far. We are accustomed to scorching temps, but so far this summer hasn't been unbearable. Usually around this time of year I am dreading going outside. Typically my co-workers and I are eating our lunches indoors and not on the nice deck outside our office. (Check out this article on how to look flawless at work during the summer.) This year has been surprising pleasant. Now don't get me wrong... to most people it's hot, but to us Floridians it isn't half bad!
So, now that summer is in full swing, and since the temps outside are nice and warm, it's time to take advantage!
