Hello! There is about one month of summer left! And I’ve been having a blast so far. Have you?
Before my summer must haves list – I wanted to share this lil Under Amour ad because I just dig the hell out of it.
On my run the other day I was thinking about doing a round up of my favorite things at the end of the summer. But that wouldn’t help ya at that point, so I’m sharing a half-way through summer fun list. I have compiled a list of my favorite things that have made my summer happier including the new body shapewear. Here they are…
Summer Must Haves
1. I usually alternate bathing suits when I’m on trips or randomly, but there is always one that I wear more than the others. This year it’s my striped suit. I like the pattern and love that the top is molded and stays in place.
Here are some similar options…
Here’s a super cute one with a bow. I keep seeing those on insta and love them.
2. I just saw my favorite Sanuk sandals that I got in Savannah come in prints here. Love. They are so comfortable. These ones are the exact same except cuter 
And I kinda need a new pair now that I wore them to the tomato farm and got ‘em absolutely covered in dust.
3. Fun sunglasses! My favorite pair are all scratched up, but I love them too much. So, I’m on the hunt for a similar pair.
Fun sunglass option 1 / option 2 is only 12 bucks.
4. Smelling like a coconut. I am obsessed with the Body Shop’s Coconut Body Butter. I have it right by my bed and try to put it on my hands before I go to sleep. Ahhhhhh. I’m going to get some right now…
And it smells better than I normally do.
5. Pink sparkling wine. I love champagne. I love white wine. I love delicious pink, sparkles in my glass.
Ha! (Has anyone even seen that show? I love Zoe Deschanel, but haven’t.)
6. Skinny Margaritas. I used to be a vodka girl, but I am all about tequila this summer.
7. Watermelon. Obviously.
8. Good music. I am usually 6 months behind on new songs, but I’ve been obsessed with finding the perfect song for this summer so I’ve been trying to keep up a little more.
Your pick…
Question: What is your favorite thing this summer?
Dang! I don’t have a favorite thing yet this summer. Good thing there’s one month left.
I’ve been loving champagne this summer also.
My favorite thing this Summer has been dry white wines! YUM!
I’m obsessed with all things coconut – especially the Body Shop coconut body butter. Love it! I’ve found the bath gel at TJ Maxx and I love the body splash.
Cute sunglasses! I typically go for Oakleys running sunglasses (for running/workout outdoors) and Raybans (other times). I’m too staid and boring or brave to try funky or colourful ones.
God, Enrique is too good. Riesling is my libation of choice this summer- there’s a Washington winery called Kung Fu girl that makes a super-crisp, slightly fruity, dry Riesling that is super cheap and I can’t stop sipping it.
I’ve also fallen back in love with my bike. After a long rainy winter of only using my cycle for commuting, it’s been great to get back in the saddle for long rides!
I know what you mean about bathing suits, I have a few but this year I’m only wearing about two of them and just switching back and forth. My favorite thing this summer is it being my first summer as a nurse!
gin and tonic! Oh and check out the song Stolen Dance by Milky Chance (dumb name)…it is my summer jam on a loop!
I’ve been loving watermelon and canteloupe myself!
Tequila is great for summer!!
I love the Misty Copeland ad so much.
Lorna Jane. Her store just opened in Phoenix and I adore everything on it. I’m also loving Hilary’s Eat Well veggie burgers. All real food ingredients and low calorie.
I’m obsessed with Hozier’s Take Me to Church! It’s not a summery-fun song, but it’s amazing.
Ooh tough question! There are so many things I love about summer… I love my new H&M bathing suit. I was nervous about wearing one from there just in case it fell apart mid-swim but I jumped off of a cliff in it yesterday and it didn’t break apart so I’m thinking it’s a keeper.
As for summer cocktail, I just can’t get enough Moscow Mules lately. They’re so refreshing and delicious, I have to self-impose limits on them or I’d just keep going!
I feel like I’ve heard of a Moscow Mule, but haven’t had one!
I have been a subscriber for a while but this is my first time commenting!!
I truly enjoy your blog posts and often have a laugh at them..your pic choices are so on point!! Hahaha.
That would have to be my favourite part of this summer. Following your travelling adventures and your funny encounters with Vegas.
I’m with ya…it’s all about tequila this summer!
hehehehe I love margaitas but after 1 I get way too happy and loopy, and after 2 everyone is my bff. lol
Yess and watermelon is so summery for me too 🙂
Have a wonderful summer !!
My favorite thing this summer has been the air conditioning. Holy hell it got hot!
Fun bathing suit! My favourite summer thing right now is my big floppy white hat – when I wear it with oversized sun glasses and a classy dress it feels very Liz Taylor’ish.
um, you have to watch New Girl! Start from the beginning. It’s the best show!! So hilarious!
I’m going to check it out! Hope it’s on Netflix…
I’m a big fan of champagne, too. So much so that my friends make fun of me for how much I drink it. They just don’t know what they’re missing. My favorite thing this summer is my patio–I have lots of pretty flowers set out around it and I love sitting on the patio and letting my dogs run around the back yard. Have a great weekend!
My favorite thing this summer is Sun Bum sun block. It has that perfect coconut suntan lotion smell from when I was a kid, that you just can’t easily find anymore!!!
HUGE HUGE fan of Sun Bum. I buy mine at Nordstrom but have also seen the full line at Planet Beauty. Love it!
That is one very, very cute bikini!
