SUMMER ESSENTIALS

I don't know about you, but I am ready for summer! I finally finished my last week at my job and am delighted to report that I am now a full time student again. Hooray! That means more time to get back to the things I love: photography, thinking up great posts for the O.I., cooking, reading, and spending time with my family at the beach. Sounds pretty good right?

So to get ready for a fun-filled jam-packed summer, I put together a quick wishlist of items that will have you prepped for lazy June days in no time. And can you tell I am on a black, white and yellow kick right now (see here!)?
