We’ve officially been in summer for five days, so it’s time to bring those bright and light colors out for their day in the sun. In today’s post, I’ve curated a boutique of summer style must-haves that will give you all the summer time feels. With all of the seasonal outdoor activities, you need these summer items. I have also included 5 books on my summer reading list.

All the Summer Time Feels & Style Must-Haves
The first summer must-have is a fun dress. This printed linen midi dress just screams summer. It is the perfect dress to wear on a resort vacation or a summer event. Dress it up with a pair of raffia wedges or go more casual with these beaded sandals. Add these gold shell earrings and this shell bucket bag to complete your look.
Besides owning a cute pair of white denim and blue denim shorts, you will also want a unique print or style to change it up. For an elevated bottom, you will love this linen embroidered shorts. They are super chic and can easily be dressed up or down. For a chic monochromatic summer look, pair them with this linen embroidered shirt. Just add these shell sandals for a beach-y look.
If you plan to be by the pool this summer, this striped one-piece is calling your name. I love the colors and flattering style. It comes in several great pattern options. Just add this crochet cover-up for a chic look inside and outside the pool. Now all you need is this straw sun hat, chic sunglasses, and a cute beach bag to carry your sunscreen and a great summer read. If you’re by the pool then you’ll need festive summer glasses to stay hydrated and keep your drinks cool. If you’re off to the beach, then you need your own beach umbrella and drinks cooler for a relaxing day on the sand.
Tanya’s Summer Reading List
- The Off Campus Book Series – Ok if you have not watched this show yet, you have to! I loved Off Campus on Amazon Prime, so I think reading the books this summer is a must, especially before season 2 releases.
- Summer Island by Kristin Hannah – This book has been highly rated, and with summer in the title, I know it’s the perfect summer read. Laura has read other Kristin Hannah books and said they are all great.
- The Only One Left by Riley Sager – Everyone raves about this new thriller! I love a book that you can’t put down because it keeps you on the edge of your seat.
- Dolly All the Time by Annabel Monaghan – This is the new hot romance book of the summer! It sounds like the perfect easy rom-com to enjoy on the beach or by the pool.
- The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid – I know I’m late to the party, but everyone talks about how amazing and juicy this book is. I will finally have to read it this summer! Also, it’s becoming a film directed by Anna Kendrick, so I want to finish it before the movie comes out.
There are so many more great books out there, so it’s hard to choose just five. Which books are on your list?
