I can’t believe today is June 1! That means summer is just around the corner and vacation time begins! For me, summertime is the opportunity to try new things, spend quality time with family and friends, and to float in the water with a good drink in your hand. In the spirit of summer, I decided to collect my top 10 essentials for this summer! Comment below and let me know what your favorite essentials are!summer

1. Erin Condren 2016-2017 Life Planner – I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… I. Love. Erin Condren. Her planners help keep your life seamlessly organized while maintaining your individual style. Her brand new 2016-2017 Life Planner launched TODAY and it does not disappoint. I’ve linked up that one I got, but head over to her site and see all the fun new aspects of this planner – just in time for summer to help organize all those vacations!

2. Kate Spade Passport Holder – because you’re going to need somewhere to store your passport, right?

3. Quay Circus Life Sunglasses – summer is the perfect time to start sporting all those cute and colorful sunglasses. This pair, only $50, let’s you do just both! Plus, they have that fun but modern day 60’s vibe everyones going for lately!

4. Sam Edelman Sandals – pair these with a little white dress and you’re good to go for the perfect summer day wardrobe!

5. Swell Water Bottle – this summer is going to be a hot one. You’re going to need this stylish yet practical water bottle to keep you cool during the heat waves! Or fill it up with wine, that’s fine too!

6. Anthropologie “Leave a Message” Hat – leave a message after the beep, i’m off for the summer! This hat says it all, am I right or am I right?

7. Sea Salt Hair Spray – I’m addicted to sea salt hair spray – it helps keep my hair feeling beachy clean with fabulous curls. This hair spray is inspired for all the wannabe mermaids out there!

8. Sam Edelman Tori Tote – you’re going to need something to put your sunglasses, your planner, your water bottle, and hat in right? I want to carry this bag around everywhere it goes – it reminds me of a summer day in Greece!

9. The Beach People Towel – because rectangle or square towels are so last year, right?
