If you are heading out to the beach or pool this summer, you won’t want to be without these amazing essentials!

The Beach Tote:Color-Block Straw Tote Bag $29.00 at Spiegel

This pretty color-block straw tote features full-lining inside with a slip pocket and metal silver handles. I love this bag’s colorful look and beachy vibe and I think  that its the cutest beach bag I’ve seen all season!

The Sunscreen:Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF 60 $39.00 at Bergdorf Goodman

Get the highest rate of sun protection there is with this SPF 60 sunscreen. This PABA-free formula is also water-proof and sweat-proof.

The Lip Balm:Neutrogena Norweigian Formula Lip Moisturizer SPF 15 $3.49 at Drugstore.com

Protect your lips with a nourishing lip balm that also has the standard SPF 15.

The Shades:Gucci Large Round Frame Sunglasses $325.00 at Gucci

These sleek and sexy sunglasses feature a grey-gradient lens and offer 100% UVA/UVB protection. Never buy shades without sun protection otherwise that defeats the whole purpose of wearing them.

The Sandals:Scott Hawaii Lanui Tan Flip Flops $42.00 at Zappos

A pair of flat sandals like these will keep your feet protected and comfy when you are lounging in the sand.

My favorite shoes for the summer are wedge sandals! A chic wedged heel looks terrific with everything including long flowy sundresses, crisp khaki shorts, jeans, denim skirts, button-front dresses, and rompers. And this season, wedge fans are in luck thanks to the unlimited style options like cork wedges, espadrilles, strappy styles, thong sandals, slingbacks, and more. Once you see the fabulous wedge sandals I’m listing below, you will rush to make room in your closet. I j’adore the following…..

Summer doesn’t officially start until June 22, but it seems that most of us feel the heat in early May. This month we’re preparing for Memorial Day cookouts, summer trips to the beach, and any extra days we can squeeze in for a little fun in the sun. Here is a small list of what you should buy this month!

<p>left to right:Plunge Halter Top, $24.50; Glam Bikini Bottom, $24.50; Backless One Piece, $39.50; Floaty Tankini Top, $24.50; and Shirred Bikini Bottom, $24.50. Everything is available at American Eagle Outfitters

1- The Classic Black Swimsuit

It could be a one-piece, tankini, or bikini. A simple black swimsuit flatters all figures and it goes with all your colorful beach accessories! Of course its still important to remember that not all swimsuits were created equal and that its a good idea to keep the following tips in mind.

Too Faced Poolside Primping Collection $42.00 at Beauty.com

2- Beach Bunny Beauty

Everything you need to get sexy this summer is in the Too Faced Poolside Primping Collection. This kit includes Lashgasm Mascara,  Glamour Gloss,  Perfect Nude Lip Liner, Primed Poreless Primer,  Sun Bunny Perfect Lips Gloss, and brown/pink striped makeup case.  Stuff this case inside your purse or beach tote for touch ups on the the go!

MICHAEL Michael Kors Open Toe Jelly Flats, $69.00 at Zappos

3- Jelly Shoes

These hot shoes are back this season and this time they look different from the plastic flats that looked a lot like the one we wore 20 years ago.  There are lots of terrific jelly shoe styles this season, but my favorite pair is the MICHAEL Michael Kors Open Toe Jelly Flats. These shiny plastic shoes feature a sexy open toe and a MK  medallion on the vamp.

Rachel Pally Long Sleeveless Caftan Dress $295.00 at Stylefly, Geo Border Top $17.80 at Forever 21, and Wear-to-Work Printed Romper, $109.00 at Bebe.

4- Bold Graphic Printed Pieces

Floral prints have been replaced by funky graphic prints. These fun prints look great on blouses, dresses, rompers, and accessories, but this doesn’t mean that you should go crazy with this look. I suggest that you purchase at least two graphic printed items like a top that goes with everything and a dress thats reserved for casual parties.
