With summer just around the corner, (or maybe it’s here already with those triple digit temps–yikes!) it’s time to get my essentials list together. After all, there are a few key players that make for a much less painful AZ summer, and at the end of the day, that’s what we all want, right?

1. Striped Linen Tee @ LOFT

2. Statement Bangle: Unfurling Flower Cuff @ Anthropologie

3. Vibrant Colored Shorts: 3″ seersucker short @ J. Crew (& on sale!)

4. Strappy Summer Sandal: Steve Madden Succo Gladiator @ DSW

5. A Refreshing Beverage ( my fave: Green Arnie @ True Food Kitchen): Otis 19oz Highball Glass available @ Crate & Barrel

Do any of you have some amazing summer plans to beat the heat? I’d love to hear where you’re headed off to so I can be jealous! Does your summer essentials list include any of the things on mine? Comment below and let me know!

Happy Friday!
