My Summer Wish List

summer-wish-list

With the temperatures rising, the rooftop bars opening, and the beaches beckoning, it’s about time I embarked on some much-needed summer shopping. So I’ve conveniently formed a wish list of fun fashions and accessories that I’m dying to add to my wardrobe. Apart from the Material Girl side of Summer 2013, there are so many warm weather activities in and around New York that I’ve made goals of completing by September. I can’t believe I’ve lived in New York for four years now and never been to Coney Island or Jones Beach. I’d also like to go to the Brooklyn Brewery and maybe even spend a long weekend on Fire Island, but I have to do some shopping first.

Retro-Inspired Swimwear for Your Next Poolside Bash

Over the summer on the east coast and all year round in L.A, socialites get their share of invites to awesome A-list pool parties. Since these fun events will most likely involve swimming, aside from swimsuit and beach cover-ups, not many clothing options are available to these events. Water may keep you from bringing your cell phone near the pool/party area, but it won’t deter the paparazzi whatsoever. Therefore, you need to be both pool and photo ready.

Retro-inspired swimwear is a great wear to show style both on land and under the water. Combine this look with a floppy hat and a retro hairstyle and you have a photo ready summer look. When you are going for a retro look, remember that less is more. Focus more on the “inspired” than the “retro” part of “retro-inspired.” You still want to look like you are living in 2011, just with a flare of the styles worn by the socialites of the past decades.

Classic Summer Must-Haves

Warm weather has hit the eastern seaboard and everyone seems to be in a much better mood.  Summer is a time for socialites to leave the city for the sunny designer clad shores of the Hamptons. This classically sacred tradition is rooted in the desire for relaxation.  In spite of all of the stifling heat that seems to get worse and worse every year due to global warming, during the summer months, the city continues to move at its ridiculously fast pace that we only pretend to keep up with.  Vacating your penthouse in the city in favor of your beachside mansion is the only way to really escape the heat.

Here are my five top summer picks that you won’t want to forget to pack:

1. White Shorts: White shorts are a classic part of the casual summer outfit.  They transition well from day to night along with the beach to the shopping/dining scene.

2. Sunscreen: Contrary to popular belief, you will still get tan even if you apply sunscreen.  So wear it along with your Chanel sunglasses.

3. Fit Flops: Walking on sand is said to be an excellent workout.  With Fit Flops, you can get that same effect both on and off the beach to tone up your legs for those hot summer fashions.

4. Your favorite bikini: Socialite or not, bikini shopping can be one of the less savory parts of summer.  Therefore, when you find the perfect one, it is like finding your summer soulmate.  My advice is to buy it in every color.

5. A Signature Sundress: Never go onto the awesome summer scene without an equally awesome sundress.
