6 summer essentials from the GL crew

 

Check these out, too...

  • Tune up your summer concert wardrobe with these picks
  • Trends we heart: Americana
  • 6 handbags every girl should own
  • Exactly what to wear to your summer job interview
  • Ed. Obsession: INTERN TAKEOVER: Muscle Tees Under $20
Surf. Sand. Tons of sun. There are so many things that make summer ah-mazing, but without these essentials, we’re pretty sure GL staffers would be totally out to sea! Check out our top-six picks for the perfect summer, then tell us what your numero uno is in the comments, cuties.

 

 

“I can’t live without my hot pink earrings I bought on a trip to France. They doll up any outfit, and make me cheery whenever I slip them on.” – Trish M., associate editor

 

 

“The perfect sundress: Comfortable, cute and truly goes just about everywhere.” – Brooke W., national advertising sales director

 

“My Ray-Ban sunnies. They’re an oversized version of the hip Wayfarers—and they never leave my face in the summer.” – Kelsey H., sales and marketing assistant

 

“My nano. Teeny enough to fit into my cutest clutch and still jam-packed with party-ready playlists.” – Brittany T., associate online editor

 

“Chic flip-flops. Great with any outfit and a beach bag must.” – Katie P., production director

 

“I live in denim cutoffs in the summer. I’ll wear them with everything from sandals to ankle boots, bikinis to blazers.” – Jess D., associate fashion editor

One thing I have to have in the summer is cute nail polish! Check out my blog (simplyenjoyinglife.obarr.us) to see my new favorite! I also can't live without my feather necklaces. They're just too perfect for summer!

Hey princess_ht, I'm not sure girl. It looks like it could be from target,

wal-mart, Macy's, lulu's or jcpenny. Check their websites and see if any of those stores have it. Hope you find it! Xoxo

Squeee!!!!! LoveloveLOVE everything on here! You mods really know your stuff! My summer essential: Confidence. Call my cheesy, but really, I'd like to see someone try to come up with something good that confidence CAN'T get you!

Btw, join my Advice Queens page for all the probs these lovely mods can't solve, or if you just want a different opinion: MINE! So really, if you have a problem, what better time to become a sweetpea than now?!?! Just ask all my sweetpeas about how I helped, or see for yourself when you BECOME A SWEETPEA by joining my page!!! You can find my advice under "Fun Stuff", in "Advice Queens" on the second page of "Popular" (look for the pic of the peas, teehee!) or on my profile under "My Clubs". Come on guys, give peas a chance! Smile
xoxo, Your favourite Advice Queen (sweetpea185)

Hey girl,
I have a GL subscription, as in the real magazine. So do I have to pay again to get it on my nook too? Or does the subscription work both ways? Thanks!




Hey girl!

Unfortunately, you still have to pay for GL on your Nook in addition to the print edition. Check out this link to order your Nook subscription: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2012/05/09/GL-is-going-digital.aspx
