Summer is officially in full swing, and so I put together a list of the top ten pieces to get you through the crazy, and sometimes lazy, days of summer.

1. A great work dress that can take you from the office straight to a night out, or drinks on a patio.
2. A pop of color. Easiest done with accessories like this DKNY watch (it’s $50!), plus it gives a whole lot of personality to summer’s neutrals.
3. A neutral shoe is one of this season’s newest trends (if you ask me). Hello, it totally goes with everything. Just make sure your neutral shoe pick works with your skin tone.
4. Anything white, especially a great pair of white jeans, you can’t go wrong. If white jeans make you feel like a certain deli meat (sausage anyone?), opt for a wide leg pair, white dress, top, skirt, bag, scarf- whatever your fancy, it’s out there.
5. Straw bag. This Calypso one definitely fits the bill.
6. Make a statement with Lucite jewelry. How fun is the Alexis Bittar ring? It’s a great take on this trend and super unique. Love it.
7. An oversized hat to protect the skin you’re in. I love the sun as much as the next person, but at least protect your face! Tinted moisturizer anyone?
8. Summer scarves (solid and prints) are a great way to accessorize and stay warm in over air conditioned places.
9. A bathing suit you LOVE on, bikini, tankini, or one-piece.
10. An all purpose beach cover-up that can take you from the surf to a casual cafe.
