my summer must haves

my summer must havesDSC_8232 copymy summer must havesmy summer must havesSummer’s in full swing here. There’s lots of playing, DVD watching, and oh yeah… did I mention one of my girls has shingles?! Our summer hasn’t been dull at all! While we’re waiting for our Soulie to get better, I’ve been planning little outings with the girls in my head. The beach will be our #1 destination.

These are my must haves for summer: Straw (mixed with leather) bag… check. Hat… check. Sandals… check. Denim shorts… check. Sunglasses…check.

The hat is something I actually got last summer and it will get a lot more use this summer, especially since next week I’m suppose to go through a little surgical procedure to get a cyst removed from my face. There will be stitches and all, so the doctor says I need to keep my face covered and protected for at least a year to minimize scarring. I’m a little nervous!

Oh and I love my Ray-Bans! I got Ben a pair last year and was always trying to steal his, so when Sunglasses Shop asked me if I wanted to try a pair of sunglasses, I said, “Oh yes! Can I try Ray-Ban aviators please?!!” Happily they obliged and their shipping is wonderfully quick! They’re based in the UK, but even if you’re in the US, you’d get it in just a couple days. Plus, they have a really large collection of sunnies that though I wanted aviators it was hard to narrow it down to which one! Ben and I are often twinsies with our sunglasses (proof here) and I kinda think it’s cute when we match in eyewear. My aviators might be my favorite sunglasses and I wear them all the time as evidenced by here and here.

What are your summer must haves? Don’t forget to include sunscreen on that list, but you should be wearing that no matter what the season.

    I love that hat! I got a new hat this year. Fedora type. So fun! I wore it at the beach all week! Sunscreen is a must for me and plenty o flip flops!

    My daughter had stitches on her forehead, & we had to do the hat & sunscreen thing for a year. The doctor also gave us a cream that reduced scarring. It was hard work enforcing the hat & sunscreen always rule for a whole year, but it paid off – she has very minimal scarring! I think if you are super careful about keeping out your scar out of the sun, you will be okay. Best wishes!

    Love the hat too! And ray-bans are my favorite 🙂 I lost my husband’s favorite pair at a restaurant a few years ago and it was devastating (for us both!). It wound up being a good father’s day gift though. And I hope your procedure goes smoothly!
