Favorites Friday 4/18/14--Summer Prep Edition!

Ciao amici! Cosa c'e di nuovo? Hehe :)

So, guys...IT'S FINALLY ALMOST SUMMER!

Sort of. Just this past week it's really warmed up here and so all of the sudden it was just like 'Wow. Hey, there's only like two months left until summer!'

So, in honor of this fabulous occasion, I'd like to share with you guys some of my favorite products for summer time. So, without further ado, here are my favorite both new and tried and true items for fun in the sun!

Toms: Toms are without a doubt on of my favorite shoe brands right now! I love their classic flat for, well, pretty much any event and any outfit during summer! They can be casual or they can be a little bit more dressy. The colors that the flats come in seem to be endless!
I've worn my Toms with jeans, leggings,shorts, skirts and dresses. Really, you can wear them with ANYTHING.

You can buy your Tom's here. 

And now Toms makes other shoe styles! 
I'm in love! You can get this great summery booty at Nordstroms.com.

Totes: I don't know about you guys, but I spend my summer at the beach! And there's nothing better to carry you book, sun screen, water and snacks in than a nice tote bag. They're both fashionable and functional. What could be better? Some of my favorite totes are from Victoria Secret/Pink.
You can buy this one here.

Throw Blankets: I love these at all times of the year, but I find them especially great for summer. They're great for sitting outside at night by a bonfire or on the beach. You can wrap them around your shoulders or sit on them. Not to mention, they look great folded on a sofa or a chair when you're not using them. 
There are so many great places to get throw blankets, so I'll only share with you guys a few of my favorites. 


Bloomingdales is an amazing place to get throws. They have a lot of options so I definitely suggest going over to their website and taking a look.
These particular cotton throws pictured above can be bough here for $80 each.


Saks 5th Avenue has some really beautiful patterns on their throws, however you should probably take a seat before you check out the prices. 
This particular wool one pictured above was made in Italy and can be bought here for $586.


Etsy is hands down my favorite place to get some beautiful, great quality throws for great prices. This particular throw pictured above is made by TurkishLinenTowels. They have so many beautiful blankets, but I happen to really love the design on this one. You can buy it here for $69.95.

Hawaiian Tropic Tanning Lotion: I've been using Hawaiian Tropic's tanning lotion for a lot of summers and I always love it! Not only does it help you get a great bronze color, it protects from the harmful rays of the sun! And it smells really good. 


For more information go to the Hawaiian Tropic Website. You can buy it at your nearest Walgreens.

    1. They're blankets, not towels for your information xD

      And they're so worth it. My sis has a few that are like Heaven on Earth. I just curl up on the couch, get the fire going, have a cup of hot chocolate made and turn on Glee and my life is made.

      But, you know, only when my brother is at work cause I'm pretty sure he'd have an anxiety attack if he saw me with my feet on their white couch drinking a dark brown beverage.
