6 summer essentials from the GL crew

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
