My Summer Essentials

With today being the first official day of summer, I felt inspired to share my summer essentials.

1.  Jantzen Vamp Maillot One Piece in Red

I bought this swimming suit for my bachelorette party and honeymoon.  I love it.  It is so classic and flattering.  Its hard not to feel pretty in this swimming suit.

2.  Bug Spray

Mosquitoes love me.  My mom says it is because I am so sweet.  I usually use whatever bug spray I can find but I recently tried this insect repellent from Burt’s Bees and it is my new favorite.

3.  Benadryl Itch Stopping Gel

Don’t judge me.  I live in Mississippi where there are as many mosquitoes as Republicans. I keep this in my purse at all times during the summer.    It works.

4.  These Sunglasses

I wear them everywhere.

5.  The Hold Steady

I can’t wait to see The Hold Steady at the Hi-Tone in Memphis next month.  I heart them.
