1. Little White Dress: The LBD of the summer favors everyone. There are many fun options with the LWD with changing up cuts and materials like lace, a knit or the ever classic eyelet. 
2. Printed or Critter Shorts: Lilly Pulitzer, J Crewand Vineyard Vines make some great options. These fun shorts put your old khaki stand bys to shame. 
3. Jack Rogers Navajo Sandals: Some things are classics for a reason. Dressed up or dressed down, Jacks bring an outfit together. They’re an investment you’ll wear consistently for years. 
4. A Colorful Maxi Dress: This trendy piece can bought on a small  or a larger  budget and looks effortless. 
5. Nude or Tan Wedges: For a date or night on the town, a wedge is a comfortable summer option. The nude color will elongate the leg and leave you looking stunning in a dress, skirt or pants. 
6. White Pants: Find the cut that flatters you may it be super skinny, straight or boot cut. The white pant can be paired with practically anything from bright colored printed tops to solid black. 
7. A Big Tote and A Colored Crossbody: The tote will carry your waterbottle, sun screen, magazines and secrets. The crossbody is a fun edition to nights on the town or roaming the streets during travel. 
8. Linen Pants: BEWARE these can look very “grandma” very quickly but can also be your best friend. Light and breezy material makes these pants a viable option for running errands or lunch with the girls. Honestly the best part of Linen pants? Days where it is extremely hot but you haven’t shaved in a while. 
9. Mix and Match Bikini Separates: Because it’s just more fun that way. Look for a top with some structure. No matter your cup size, some shaping is helpful. Want to bring attention to your twins but minimize your flat butt? Go for a printed top. Same goes for ladies with a nice booty. A printed bottom will show off your best asset. Balance it out with a separate solid piece and you’re good to go. 
10. A Margarita: Duh. 

Honorable mentions: Tortoise Shell Sunglasses, Monogrammed Sunhat, Wave Cream for Beachy Hair Anytime, Teal Nail Polish, Coral Earrings, Braided Belt and a great playlist
