Hot Summer Must Haves

June 15, 2011 by Courtney 21 Comments

1. Love Nectar Now that it’s summer, there are a few things that I love having around! The very first is this MAC Lustre Glass in Love Nectar. It is the perfect pale peach color that looks great for summer. It’s always in my purse.  Lustreglass 2. Lollia – Imagine Hand Creme Lollia While I love every Lollia product, the Imagine hand crème is perfect for hot summer days. I love the tiny tube because I can toss it in my purse. You only need a tiny dab and the scent reminds me of the beach. It really is scrumptious.   Imagine   lolia   3. Jack Purcell Slip-On   If I am not wearing flip flops then I am definitely lounging in these comfy and cute jack purcell’s.  I love that they slip on and this gray/violet color goes with everything. And they are much better for chasing tots around than flip flops. shoe   Jack Purcell Slip on Sneaker from Nordstrom   4. Stripe Beach Towel We all know stripes are in! And have been for a while. There is something about them. Maybe it’s the clean fresh vibe they have. All I know is that a stripe beach towel is paramount for summer. These are from Pottery Barn, but Target was sporting some cute $7 dollar ones as well. A favorite gift of mine to give for summer is a cute beach towel with the child’s name embroidered on it. I often pick them up from Target and take them to different place to have the name put on. Ends up being under $20 and makes for one pretty cool gift.

And I was jumping up and down when Jen from I Heart Organizing asked to feature some of my organizational ideas. Jen and her blog are over the top amazing. Thanks for the sweet feature, Jen!!!

    Mmmmmm I love Lollia! Isn't their packaging dreamy? I'll have to try the Mac gloss, I've been looking for a good peach but my go-to brands all seem to have sparkle. Thanks for the tip!

    Oooh…some new things to try! Will have to check out the shoes. We are making a trip to Nordstroms to pick up a pair of Toms for Kate to take with her to NY, so momma might just have to get a new pair of shoes too! LOL Heading of to check out your feature.

    I know this is a strange question…..do the Purcell shoes have a removable insert?

    Great picks, Courtney! Love Mac cosmetics. My husband is headed to the half yearly men's sale at Nordstrom this Friday. Of course, I'm tagging along and may make a detour to the shoe department. Those Jack Purcells are calling my name.

    Your summer must haves are a little more sophisticated than mine: Banana boat sunscreen (at least 50 SPF), Otter pops, and a book. Yep, I'm pretty sure that covers all my bases! (c: We don't even use towels at the pool…I know, we are practically hillbillies over here! (c: Going to check out I {heart} organizing…I don't think I've ever been there! And that is lame.

    Okay – that lipgloss looks fab-u-lous!! Those shoes are precious and I am all about anything that is easy to chase toddlers around in AND I was just looking for monogrammed beach towels, but wasn't liking the ones I found OR the price. Great idea about buying them cheap and then having them monogrammed. Loved your feature at Iheart Organizing!!
