Pool Essentials

Apparently we are having a heat wave this week, so naturally it has me thinking about lounging poolside (or really anywhere tropical)!

So let's chat about some of my favorite "pool essentials", shall we...

A perfect pair of sunnies is a must! 

:: retro ray bans :: 

Really been wanting to experiment with a one-piece lately (this brings back some scary memories though of my swim team days and those horrific one-pieces that marjorly accentuate the buttox)

:: j.crew fanfare ::

*before i could get my hands on this pretty thing, it sold out in my size. the two below are coming in a close second. and if you can't tell, i'm trying to move alway (sort of) from bikinis, they are not as attractive when your constantly bending over picking up the wee one* :) 

:: j.crew arrowhead ikat tank :: 

:: j.crew draped blouson tank (really digging the red chili color) ::

I'm a sucker for a cute cover-up

:: j.crew whisper gauze sand dollar tunic :: 

:: lilly pulitzer cassie dress slub (perfect pool to night transition dress) ::

I'm super picky about flip flops and haven't swayed from these since I was introduced to them

 3-4 years ago

:: havaianas (a summer staple) ::

I was gifted this cooler last year and love it!!

:: lilly pulitzer insulated cooler :: 

This Etsy shop has the cutest prints for koozies- they will keep your beverage stylish and cool while catching some rays!

:: rouge & co. ikat monogrammed koozie ::

Mama needs a stylish tote for all necessities!

:: pottery barn teen ikat dot tote ::

A fashionable beach towel is also must!

:: yachting stripe beach towel (i'll take one in every color, please) ::

:: personalize beach towel via etsy :: 

What are some of your favorite poolside must-have's??
