i loooove this green clutch! perfection<3
I love #2,3, and 5!
I’m looking forward to going to the beach (going to take surf lessons this summer!), BBQ, Fuegesicles, San Diego Fair, laying outside and looking at the stars, mini-road trips, and Halo Halo (a Filipino shaved ice treat)
Love the topshop shoes!
wow great collection! I’m looking forward to barbecues, flip flops & crazy nail polish on my toes, my trip to Zakynthos, pool, sun, tan, long days, great weather, cute dresses & summer clothes,…
Weather here isn’t any good either!
I can’t get enough of those strappy flat sandals! I they are wonderful
and the beading on that last one is fabulous! It’s a good transition from the gladiator sandal, which can be a bit of a hassle to put on in the mornings, lol
that charlotte russe dress is absolutely gorgeous!!! ahh-mazing! and charlotte russe, no less.
Love cut outs, studs and tribal prints!!!
What a fun list, Em! That black and white Forever dress is so cute, I might have to get it. I live in dresses like that during summer.
Laying at the beach, enjoying the sun (of course with my spf 50 and big hat!)
BTW, check out my giveaway contest. Starts today!
I’m actually looking forward to coming home [to Maryland] next week. I love Baltimore and Maryland in the summer. It’s hot but it’s a relief from the heat of Alabama where I currently live! I hope you are enjoying your stay, be sure to get all you can eat crabs, there the best on earth!!!
i too LOVE the smell of sunscreen.
Loving the Charlotte Russe dress and those Topshop studded shorts!! And the print of that F21 scarf is amazing
This summer I’m most looking forward to just spending time with my family in the sun.
I love the Charlotte Russe dress! Crazy!
For me, summer means flying from coast to coast for family visits, weddings and vacations.
Love those studded sandals….
Don’t forget about farmer’s markets! and for me, it’s trips to Dairy Queen!
I’m looking forward to wearing my polo shirts, of course!!
I have had my eye on that Rebecca Minkoff clutch for a while now. It’s perfect for summer concerts!
I’m looking forward to getting to wear my pool dress and going on a couple of road trips. And also, summer concerts.
I can’t wait to jump into the ocean. And watch my little guy toddle on the beach. He wasn’t walking last summer. That Charlotte Russe top is cute.
not packing school lunches.
I so love #2…love the price too!
Summer has ended where I am but I always look forward to beach trips every year.
great pictures! summer has officially started, and i have to admit that the Cali weather is just starting to cooperate! which means for me: summer dresses/wedges/coral polish/wavy hair/coconut lotions/freckles/spf50/exfoliating/farmers markets/lots & lots of flowers/flip flops/finding new jean shorts/bon fires…and most of all, hanging out with my friends on the weekends!
Loooove this collage and your summer list. Yes to grilled asparagus and that fab f21 scarf!
Adoring the new profile pic too, E!

I can’t believe that dress is from Charlotte Russe. I think that I am most excited for off-the-shoulder tops this summer – love that look!
I absolutely adore your picks! Great items, and they’re actually in my price range
Keep up the good work!
once again i love all your picks! this summer i’m looking forward to eating veggies straight from our little garden.
Love #10 and it’s only $20! Usually I hone in on the expensive picks. Yay!
Besides love and laughter, filming my documentary, exhibiting in Paris and trying to relearn French.
I adore those sandals, do they come in … London?
Unique choices as always! Love.

I love your list of summer essentials. Summer is a season that always brings me back to my childhood.

I have the first Topshop dress and love it! Dig those white Topshop shoes as well. Fab choices!

Love it all. And I’m already done with summer – ready for fall.
Do you live in Texas or something where it is always warm outside? You do realize that summer started a few days ago? Or are you just fashioned out?
Oh I love that clutch and shorts are awesome in general!
I love tribal, it’s all the rage!
Love the shorts!!! xx
What a fabulous fashion round-up…I’m especially loving both pairs of cut-out shoes, those flats would be too fun, just picturing the sun tan lines is making me laugh
As for this summer, I’m really just looking forward to wearing a lot of bright and bold colors!
I can’t believe those sandals are from F21!! so expensive looking…
i love love love # 2…simple yet elegant and classy!!!
Love the top from charlotte russe. I’m most looking forward to bbq’s and watermelon!

Thanks to your impeccable taste I saw the Charlotte Russe cutout dress and HAD to have it! I’ve worn a few times since it came in the mail and it never fails to bring compliments my way. I’m so glad I found your blog!
