milk + sass Macaron hair brush
These things are so cool! They take up very little space in your bag so you won't ever be without a brush and best of all - they're tangle free! The other side features a mirror so you can easily check your work. $13; Amazon
Keter Patio Cooler Table
We have two of these on our patio. They're the perfect side tables for our lounge chairs but with a hidden secret compartment which holds ice and stores drinks! Best of all, it still functions as a table when open. I found it on WikiBuy.com where you can search for any product and it will tell you where you can find it the cheapest online! $63; WikiBuy
The Jersey Shore
For all you Jersey Shore lovers! No, we're not talking about the television show. In this beach read, The Jersey Shore, Dominick Mazzagetti provides a modern re-telling of the history, culture, and landscapes of this famous region, from the 1600s to the present. The Shore, from Sandy Hook to Cape May, became a national resort in the late 1800s and contributes enormously to New Jersey’s economy today. Ultimately, this book is an enthusiastic and comprehensive portrait by a native son, whose passion for the region is shared by millions of beachgoers throughout the Northeast. $23; Amazon

Black Goji Berries from ZenChi
If you love to entertain in summer, these berries are great fun in cocktails or use them for the health benefits! For hundreds of years, the Salar people, an indigenous minority from China’s border with Tibet, ended their day with the ritual of soaking black goji berries in water and drinking the elixir, an act that detoxified the body and calmed skin after a day working in the hot sun. No matter your favorite summer activity, black gojis can help your skin replenish and recover, and they look super cool! $25; ZenChi

Just because the 4th of July celebrations have ended doesn't mean your style has to get any less Patriotic! The new collection from LuLaRoe is called "American Dreams" and features all-American designs for the entire family, young and old. All of their clothing is extremely soft, comfy. and cute. $23-60; LuLaRoe

We love smart packing hacks & traveling in style! BandaBeau’s waterproof and antimicrobial swimsuit bags are a fashionable solution for separating wet clothes and keeping them mildew and smelly-free. Includes a convenient drawstring wrist strap for carrying with ease. $20; BandaBeau
Towel Tamer
The first beach towel accessory to combine fashion with function, this towel-taming, seat-saving, stuff-storing solution is the ultimate beachfront and poolside essential. The bandeau bikini-inspired towel band wraps around the top of a lounge chair to keep wind-blown beach towels in place – it’s fully adjustable and made from a stretchable, swimsuit fabric, and comes in a variety of vibrant prints to ensure one’s beach chair stands out in a crowd and saves your seat at a crowded pool. It also has a hidden zippered pocket, the perfect place for stashing small valuables, that converts to a travel pouch, so its compact enough to tote in a beach bag or pack in a carry-on. $30, BandaBeau
These are definitely must haves for summer and just great picks! I am loving the maracron hairbrush, how cool is that!
Great list, we already have a few of these, but what I really need is that ice bucket side table!
The Sunnies glasses look so stylish and fashionable. I would definitely add those as part of my summer wardrobe.
The leather jewelry pieces are so lovely! I would love to have those! The Macaron hair brush is so unique and I love its compact size too.
The hair brushes are so cool! I would love to have them. I think I will purchase a few of them and then keep them so I can use them for stocking stuffers for Christmas. I am always an early shopper, so thanks for this awesome list! I love those leather earrrings too!
Interesting items! I’d like to see the mini brush thing, looks more like a cookie or even a lip balm kinda thing, they should have shown it apart or however it works. :)
Oversized sunglasses are always a must. I love lip gloss and have some of the new Hard Candy. I live at the Jersey shore and we are nothing like that horrid show and those people weren’t from here.
Headbands are great to keep your hair off your face. I also totally love those adorable milk + sass Macaron hair brushes!
