Summer is definitely in full swing! My wish list – July 2016 is full of tropical inspired gear. I’ve got the beach on my mind as we plan a trip to the Maldives in October. It’s totally crazy because I won a stay at a new resort in the Maldives through a social media contest. Yes, it is TOTALLY possible to win a super cool giveaway prize (I have a cool one for kids coming up too!)
Now I’ve on the hunt for chic beach wear and accessories. I also brought back a few Lilly Pulitzer for Target pieces (thanks to a few groups and eagle-eyed friends) and am very excited to finally wear them. I’m also mildly obsessed with Sunny Life floats and got a watermelon and swan one “for my daughter”. I fret about humid weather and too many mosquitos, but am also reminded that there are so many cool things about summer too!
Wish List – July 2016
1. Parker Albany Ruffle Top, Shopbop, $126 (from $210)
I can’t help it, I am totally obsessed with off the shoulder tops (this top 8 list keep expanding!) This bright shade and cut are pretty perfect. I like the tops with the ruffle on the top for a bit of texture and modesty too!
2. Pineapple shot glasses, Domino, $34.99
Is Pinterest getting to me? Or maybe it’s just the subtle glimpses of these shot glasses here and there on Domino. Either way, I’ve been thinking about how I can incorporate these into my home. Obviously they would look great on a bar cart. Maybe I can use them to hold makeup? Or maybe they would be fun dessert holders. I’ll keep rationalizing a few reasons to buy a few sets.
3. Sunnylife Pineapple Candle, Shopbop, $30
I love pineapple motifs in home decor (err, could you tell?) They are the perfect reminder of cool breezes and tropical nights. I think they would be such cute hostess gifts as well!
4. Sunnylife ‘Really Big’ Inflatable Ice Cream Pool Floatie, Shopbop, $45
Sunnylife has singlehandedly changed pool floats. Of course I got the white swan float already, but I really want a whole cute collection. This ice cream float is definitely next in my collection. Who wouldn’t want to lie on an ice cream cone?
5. Eberjey Free Spirit Malena Beach Dress, Shopbop, $154
This might be my perfect summer coverup/beach dress. It’s light, feminine, and beautiful. I really, really love it!
I love inflatable pool stuff, especially in the form of swans. I don’t have a pool but my friend does and I keep telling her to fill that bad boy with all kinds of whimsical inflatables. Seriously, I just want to dive into a pull busting with inflatables bahahahaha! That is my “summer” dream.
Oh and GO YOU for the comp! Man, I wish I could win something as epic as that. I’ve won “smallish” stuff, never travel. God that would be amazing to win! Enjoy the Maldives!

SunnyLife has the coolest things. Just learning about them through Aveeno.

The ruffle top is so cute, and the inflatable ice cream floatie looks like fun 🙂
I literally need all of the pineapple things – so obsessed right now!

I love anything pineapple, so I want those shot glasses. The candle was the inspiration for the pineapple solid sugar scrubs I make!
Elle, I can definitely see you making more pineapple shaped beauty teats!
The coral ruffle top is adorable!
Oh Dear Bumblebees
Cool shot glasses and that float ice cream!

Oh that cover up is just what I was looking for. I can definitely see myself purchasing this and enjoying it throughout the summer. Loved this post.

Thanks Kia! I’ve been on the hunt for a chic coverup and this fits the bill! I’d rock it all summer too!
That pineapple candle is adorable. I don’t like humid weather much at all, plus I have severe allergies so it makes it miserable with added heat, but enjoy the summery bits of grilling and fun holidays. Love these pieces you’ve put together! A stay in the Maldives sounds fabulous. Enjoy the start to your weekend. x/Madison

Thank you Madison! Oh I hope your allergies aren’t too bad right now! Humidity really is the worst and I wish you many fun summer outings and grilled fiestas too!
You definitely need the pineapple tumbler. I just got one and it makes me smile everytime!
