It’s summer, summer, summertime…time to sit back and unwind. That is exactly what I plan to do this summer. I’m not teaching this semester and I plan to enjoy every second of it with John in our new house! Since Sunday marked the first day of summer, I thought it was time to share my summer favorites with you.

Kate Spade Pineapple iPhone Case ($45)

I’m sort of loving pineapples right now and they scream summer, so I figured a fun summer iPhone case would be a great way to lighten the mood.

Layered Split Back Cami ($23.99)

I love hot pink anything for summer and I love this split back cami!

OPI Chiffon My Mind Nail Polish

I have noticed women sporting white nail polish lately and sort of love it for summer. I reviewed a few different colors and decided that I like Chiffon My Mind the best because it has a slight sheen to it.

Vince Camuto Crochet-Trim A-Line Skirt ($73.99)

I really wanted a white eyelet skirt for summer and I liked the length of it and the pattern.

YSL Rouge Volupté Sheer Candy Glossy Lip Balm ($34)

This is one of my favorites, I love 004, the Succulent Pomegranate color. I got it a while back when Emily Maynard wore it on the Bachelorette, but I’ve finally used it all up and need another. This is sheer, almost like lipbalm but provides a great pop of color!

Sam Edelman Grella Sandal ($66)

I really need a pair of gold flat sandals and I’ve had these on my list for a while. They are so elegant.

Bath & Body Works Coconut Vanilla Candle ($22.50)

I am in an island/coconut type mood so why not turn my house into a tropical paradise this summer?

Kate Spade Lily Avenue Kiki Clutch ($171)

I need a plain black clutch with gold embellishments to use when I have gold jewelry and accessories. I loved the scalloped detail on this clutch for summer.

FlashTat ($25)

These are gold foil temporary tattoos that you can use to accessorize. They last about 4-6 days so you can have fun with them on a weekend or summer vacation.

Another Love Song Maxi Dress ($40)

I love a maxi dress for the summer…it is cool, comfortable and easy to throw on in a hurry. It’s basically like wearing your pajamas out, but fancy. I just need to keep building my collection.

I would love to know what your summer favorites are?
