8 Summer Essentials

You know how on Friday, I was worried that it would rain over the weekend? Well, I needn’t have worried…it was sunny and beautiful the whole time!! YAY. We had an amazing mini-vacation and I can’t wait to share the photos with you all later this week. But in the meantime, all that sun got me thinking about summer…and some things I want to get. The shopping bug has bitten me! I already got most of the things from my warm weather wishlist that I shared about a month ago--the shorts, the polka dot tank top, and the pendant necklace. Ben also bought me those red Superga sneakers for my birthday, and I’m planning to get a pair of Hasbeens this month. After that, these are the next items on my list! I’m calling them “essentials” because I figure I’m more likely to get them if they’re things I need. And I totally need these. Right?

8 Summer Essentials // At Home in Love

1. Cute water bottle - $30 from bkr (actually, Ben already got me that pink bkr for my birthday too. What a sweetie! I can’t wait to start using it) / 2. Casual white dress - $114.50 from Madewell / 3. Lightweight Turkish beach towel - $48 from Serena & Lily / 4. Adorable bobbi pins (to keep windswept hair in check) - $10 from ban.do / 5. Colorblocked tote bag - $50 from Rouge & Whimsy / 6. New nail polish color - $8.50 from Nordstrom / A better quality t-shirt - $18 from Everlane / Whimsical tumbler - $14 from ban.do

What’s on your list for summer?? Have you bought anything fun lately? It’s kind of bad, once I let myself shop a little I just want more and more...I could have listed at least 20 more things that I have on my wishlist, but I decided I would restrict myself to eight. These are all so cute though, aren’t they?! I think the things I want the most are a cute white dress (doesn’t have to be the Madewell one, but I do really like it’s shape), and a stylish beach towel. I just love those Turkish fouta ones. I also do want to get some better quality basics for Ben and I. I don’t have the patience to hang dry everything, and so many of our tees have shrunk up in the wash to the point where they don’t fit well anymore. I’ve heard good things about Everlane, but have never bought anything from them yet. Have you? Do you have a favorite t-shirt company?
