Summer Essentials {2015 Edition}

Last year I put together a list of my summer essentials!  I thought I'd do it again...with things I'm loving this summer!!

My Summer 2015 Essentials!

Still NUMBER ONE on my list is a hat! I still love my fedora but I'm all about my camo baseball cap this summer!!  Both block the sun's harmful rays but still allow me to look cute! :)

I've also been wearing a lot of headbands/wraps too, though.  I live pretty close to the water, so when I sit out it is inevitably windy!  My mom gave me a blue ribbon headband when I went to visit her in Florida and I love it.  It actually stays put!!  You can see it a little bit here...and I don't really care that it matches nothing, I wear it anyway!  HA!!

Another MUST is a pair of sunglasses.  I love changing up  my sunglasses.  Last year I wore my aviators ALL. THE. TIME.  This year I am more into the throwback seventies style, like these I found on Salt City Optics.

Super cute, right?!?  Salt City has the option of prescription sunglasses too.  I am thinking my old lady eyes needs these. I have prescription glasses and don't wear them ever as often as I should!  Maybe with super cute sunglasses like these I'd be more inclined too!

My Favorite Suit:  This bikini is the only new bathing suit I purchased this year.  And I LOVE it. Give Adore Me a try {here}!  It doesn't exactly go great with my cover- up, but that's ok....

This is not me...obviously!!  :)

Another MUST:This summer I have been trying a sunscreen with an SPF of 55, especially on my face, thanks to my sun spots.  I am loving Neutrogena  Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen.  It's not greasy and works really, really well!!  When I went to Florida back in May, I put this on everywhere, seeing as it was my first foray into the sun in months...and came back with NOTHING!!!  It basically ruined my whole day!  HA!!  But it does it's job!!

The Ultimate Summer Playlist: One of my favorite parts of last year's summer essentials, was the playlist I included!  There's nothing better than sitting out in the sun, putting my tunes on and blocking out the rest of the world for a while!  Here are some of the songs I am loving this summer! Some of these are probably old but since I mostly listen to my old school ipod from 10 years ago, they're new to me! (Some of these you've seen on the blog before and thanks to a recent wedding I went to, my sister and her neighbors 4th of July party for introducing me to some of these!  HA!!)
