Okay, how is it July already? I know that phrase is like a broken record, but seriously, we just had snow the other day. (Okay, not really, but it feels like it!) My summer has been jam packed and here are some shots of it currently. PLUS it’s the start of Prime day so I’ve linked the products here (affiliate).

Of course we start with reading! I never go anywhere without my Kindle (or at least my Kindle app!). I already have the magnetic sticker on the back and my friend gave me a phone umbrella thing and it is perfect for reading out in the sun. A Killer Getaway isn’t out yet (publishes 8/12), but it describes my summer reading perfectly (thank you Sourcebooks Landmark for my ARC!).

This adorable bow hat has been a staple for me this summer. And these aviators (similar) have been by my side for yearsss. Pair these with these shorts and this shirt and these shoes, you have my summer uniform!

Random snapshots of my summer so far! Of course Ramen takes center stage, but I’ve also made a lot of summer salads (anything that requires a hot oven is too much for summer some times). The baked goods are from Lotis’ Bakeshop; a MUST stop if you’re ever in the 806.

These are some other summer essentials I’ve been using a lot lately. This snack tray that fits over a 40 oz. Stanley has different compartments and I’ve been filling them with fruit, cheese, meats and cookies- my version of a charcuterie board.

Now, waterproof jewelry isn’t something new, but this summer, I’ve DROWNED (pun intended) myself in this brand lately. This birthstone necklace with my birth month flower charm hasn’t left my neck all summer and this bracelet and this bracelet has been perfect for layering.

I know that everyone and their mother have been using Owalas instead of Stanleys, but I still love the handle and the flip up straw lid. Plus the snack tray won’t fit on an Owala.

And last, but certainly not least is SPF! Always wear SPF! This is my facial SPF right now and this is my body one.
