I'm officially done with my Sophomore year of college, it's unbelievable how fast time goes by... In my K-12 years I'd probably have a count down started as soon as Christmas was over, but I can't say that I feel the same anticipation now. I hate saying goodbye to my sorority sisters and realizing how different it'll be next year with all of my senior friends graduating.
It's hard to believe that it's summer with the weather so gloomy hereSo, what am I looking forward to? -GETTING BRONZED & showing it off with some cute outfits to complement it! I put together a list of a few things I plan on purchasing/re-purchasing once I get some money saved up!
1. Essie's Lights. OH MY GOD, I HAVE FOUND THE SUMMER SHADE. Don't believe me? Check out this swatch, courtesy of Polish You Pretty. I saw a friend wear this and knew I had to have it. If you ask me, you can never have too many pink polishes... especially one this gorgeous. Bright hot pink toes are always my go to, can't wait to get my hands on it (...or it on my hands)!
2. Vineyard Vines Shep Shirt. Perfect pull over for cold nights by the beach. I can't decide if I want the classic navy, or to go for the white? Decisions, decisions...
3. Chino Shorts. I'm completely out of my Abercrombie & Fitch coochie cutter shorts stage. THANK GOODNESS, wish I listened to my mother when she'd yell at me for leaving the house with them on... I plan on getting these in like, every color from J.Crew.
4. Ray-Ban Clubmaster Sunglasses. I feel like I have SUCH bad luck with sunglasses, so I don't know if I'll get the ones from Rayban or a knock off version of them. Either way, love these!
5. Alex and Ani Bangles. I'll probably do a separate post dedicated to them, but until then- know that I am OBSESSED with these bracelets. They're great to layer with other bracelets/watches to achieve the arm candy trend seen all over Tumblr and Pinterest. They're Eco Friendly, reasonably priced, and so stylish. Check them out!
6. Lancome's Bienfait Multi-Vital Teinte. Once summer rolls around I say GOODBYE to my liquid foundation and replace it with a tinted moisturizer on days I feel that I need coverage. It's moisturizing, evens out my skin tone, feels light on my skin, and has SPF30! A lot of hype goes to Benefit's You Rebel tinted moisturizer, but I'm just not sold on it. If you're looking for a tinted moisturizer, definitely try this!
7. White FOSSIL Watch. I LOVE watches, but I'm not always willing to spend $250 for Michael Kors. I was looking for a white one to pop against my tan skin, without breaking the bank, and came across this one. I was AMAZED at how many FOSSIL has to choose from.
8. Coozies. The ultimate summer accessory. This one is from vineyard vines, but you can find them anywhere. Perfect for hanging out by the pool, at the beach, or nights with friends! ;)
9. Jack Rogers Sandals. I normally wouldn't spend this much for sandals, but just last week I was in the middle of campus when my Bakers' sandals broke. I was so disappointed that they only made it through one season. These might be a splurge, but I've heard they're totally worth it.
10. Sports Bras. Time to get back into bikini shape, girls! As soon as I get back to my hometown I'm signing up for the gym! I'll be spending most of my time in these, paired with matching Norts of course!
10...and a 1/2. STARFISH ACCESSORIES. Last summer I picked up these hair clips, I 100% recommend this shop. They came beautifully packaged, well made, and the owner was so sweet! I got so many compliments on them. I love starfish accessories in the summer, they're so beachy and mermaid-esque! I either want to get earrings, or a stud for my cartilage piercing.

What are your summer essentials?
Perfect song on the radio,
Sing along 'cause it's one we know,
It's a smile, it's a kiss, it's summertime,
Sweet summertime.
xo, cheri
