Hey guys, it’s Maya again! I’m super excited about the beginning of summer. Whether you’ll be spending your summer in The Hamptons lying beachside catching some rays or embarking on adventures and creating memories to last a lifetime, you’ll definitely want to stay chic while doing it. Read on for some of my must have summer essentials to help you soak up the sun in style!

The perfect pair of sunnies

Ray Ban Aviator Sunglasses

This one is a no-brainer. Find the perfect pair of sunglasses that compliments your face shape. I’m partial to wayfarers and cat eye frames.

A crop top if you’re daring Black and white crop top

Pair it with an a-line skirt for a ladylike touch or throw on a pair of high waist shorts if you’ve skipped a few days at the gym (guilty!)

Slides, preferably Celine or Adidas

Celine slides Birkenstocks Because all the cool girls are wearing them. Seriously though, don’t resist the normcore movement– embrace it. Your feet will thank you!

Summer is for sundresses

Red Zara fit and flare dress Sundresses were made for the summer. I love them because they’re universally flattering and make picking out an outfit effortless, as it should be!

A bright crossbody bag

Yellow Chevron Chanel Mini Lugging around a tote or a satchel? Ain’t nobody got time for that! Crossbody bags are the way to go, especially here in NYC. Pick out one in a bright festive color to add a fun pop of color to your look.
