Copper Fox: Things Any Girl Needs for the Summer!

Summer is here whether you like it or not! I dont know about you, but it creeped up really fast! I live in the midwest and one week its spring and 70 degrees and the next its 98 degree and humid!
Thats how it was for me last week.

Here are my picks for the top 10, absolutely necessary, MUST HAVE OR WILL DIE summer items. Some of them might be a little expected (I know, I know: Sandals and sunglasses, Courtney? Really?) No better way to get ready for the sun and fun then to get Summer Essential items that any girl really cant live without.

Swimming Suit

I am loving the crochet and lace this season and this is a perfect swim suit top! Not only does it over up any insecurities that you may have about showing so much skin, its black aka SLIMMING, and while still being crochet, you can feel the air through it. The best part about this piece is that since it is solid black (there is other colors and patterns as well) you can pair with just about any bottom! There is also a removable string to hold it up in case youre worried about that as well.

Cover Up

I just love this cover-up. It adds a bit of flare when you have a solid colored swimming suit, but still elegant enough to walk around with after you leave the area. I love how its low cut and you can pair it with fun long necklaces that are in right now, but its still flowy enough to look cute! The empire waist is awesome to but it can hide any troubled areas!

Sunglasses

I have always loved a good pair of aviator glasses! I think they flatter just about every face shape. Plus, this may sound odd but the bigger the sunglasses, the less your skin is not protected from the sun! I love these because they aren't your average black and silver, and they really compliment red undertones in your skin!

Sandals

These neutral shoes are gorgeous! With the little bling and heel you can spice it up an average flip flop. The reviews have stated that this is one of the most comfortable shoes they have ever worn!

Hat

Keep yourself protected from the sun in this awesome hat! Its a neutral shade and can go with anything! I love being outside and getting my vitamin D but as a red head, we are so prone to sunburns, that I will do anything to not get them. Oh the joys of being a ginger! I love burning and not even getting a tan out of it! Save yourself the trouble and get a hat that can cover other areas sunblock cant go, i.e your scalp. It also is great whenever you have wet hair and it looks a hot mess after a day of swimming, throw it under there!

Ipad

Everyone needs good reading material this summer! It can't be all fun in the sun, you need to exercise your brain! I love my ipad mini. You can take it to the beach, read on it, play games, take pictures, and listen to music or watch a movie! I was an android person for years and now I finally have an ipad air, and I dont know how I ever survived without it!

Summer Scent

If I had to put summer in a bottle, this would be it! Its coconut and heaven in a perfume. After getting out of the sun, being sweaty, or the pool smelling like chlorine, spray this on and it will make a world of difference! Everyone needs a signature summer scent and this new one from Bath & Body Works so amazing!

Nail Polish

I am not a pink girl, I hardly ever wear it, but in the summer, on my feet, I love a hot pink neon color! The pink really goes with the red undertones in my skin, since I do not tan, the pink still looks good. I am so jealous of the girls that can be tan and pull off the neon greens and yellows! O.P.I is one of the best brands and they even have gel polish in this color!

Beach Bag

Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day, all of these holidays in the summer that just scream red, white, and blue. This bag is perfect for lugging around all your summer essentials with a pop of flair!

Sunscreen

I cannot stress how IMPORTANT a great screen screen is! I am extremely pale and I use sunscreen like LIQUID GOLD! You could never cover up more from the sun in my opinion. Think of your health even if its all fun and games this summer.
