HELLO SUMMER! I get so excited for this season to arrive. In Maine, you never know what weather to expect… like this year for example we had a harsh winter with tons of snow, and a very rainy, cold, unseasonable spring. So, needless to say, summer can’t come soon enough!
My family has a beach house on the Maine coast, where there’s a nice private beach, usually we are the only ones there. The splash of the waves hitting the rocks, and the feeling of warm sand between your toes… Oh my goodness… take me there NOW! Aside from daydreaming of the beach, I’m honestly more of a lake girl. Why? The ocean is my BIGGEST fear. Yes, I go in the water sometimes, but I am so afraid of sharks, or just ocean life in general, so I’ll pass and stay onshore working on my tan, thanks.
All of this dreaming about summertime has me in a shopping mood (which if you know me… I’m ALWAYS in a shopping mood!) But, it also has me going on Pinterest, and finding summer styles, recipes and such, which you can find my summer board here.

PREPPING FOR SUMMER!
These are the necessities for summertime, whether you spend it at the beach, lake, or simply your backyard, you MUST have them!
*To view specific items, click image.
- Beach towel- Can’t dry off or lay on the sand without one of these, so to have one is obviously a MUST!
- Beach Chair- I’m sure you like to be comfortable right? This chair is so COMFORTABLE! I bought one last year and it is amazing, I think it’s the pillow that does it for me.
- Sunglasses- ugh… DUH! You don’t want UV rays blinding you, so treat yourself and get some sleek shades. (Also good for staring down hot men on the beach, undercover… just saying.)
- Sunblock- Ladies, protect yourself! You may think you tan real easily after a burn, which may be true, but each burn that takes places damages your skin more and more in the long run, so eat fruit and APPLY sunblock!
- Beach Bag- Because how else are you going to carry all of your stuff…? I look for ones that have the silky lining in the inside, easier to dry and dump the sand out.
- A CUTE Bathing Suit- Show off your summer bod with a cute bathing suit! (Remember, we are all different shapes and sizes and you ARE beautiful, so get one that you like, and wear it CONFIDENTLY!)
P.S. Target has some REALLY cute and AFFORDABLE swimwear. Why does everything have to be so expensive...?
- Cover-up Shirt- Easy, convenient, and stylish, so why not?
Every summer has its memories,
CREATE YOURS IN STYLE!
Enjoy the sun,
