When Girl Meets 30

5 Summertime Must-Have Accessories

June 5, 2013 By Erin Kennedy 1 Comment

As Summer quickly approaches, I find myself spending more and more moments outside at the pool, park or beach.  No matter where we are headed, there are a few essentials that are always with me.  They are a necessity to get through the summer months and fun to shop for at the start of the season!


1. The Beach Tote

A trip to the pool or beach would not work without a great tote to carry everything.  With three kids I need to be practical but I also want it to be cute (obviously).  Right now there are so many great options available depending on the size of bag that you need.

2. Sunglasses

It is not an option to go outside without sunglasses.  Though I am a fan of the simply gold aviators or black oversized, there are so many great colors and styles out right now.  Take a little risk and throw a little color in there!

3. Scarves and Cover Ups
Though a bathing suit is what I live in, I always have a cover up or scarf available for when the temperature drops or I have had just a bit too much sun.

4. Protecting Your Skin
A day doesn’t go by when I do not put sunscreen on but I become hyper sensitive during the summer.  My favorite face sunscreen is Nia24 and I use Neutrogena Wet Skin all over and on the kids as well.  My favorite hats are by the San Diego Hat Company because they have SPF protection in them and are extremely easy to pack.

5. Flip Flops
The last essential for summer is an easy one and goes without saying…but I will say it anyways.  Living in Orange County I own a bazillion flip flops but my tried and true favorites are Havaianas.
They are simple.  There are a million colors available.  They are comfortable.
They are perfect.


Sarah Ollenburger is a 34-year-old mother to three and wife to one, trying to stay sane in Orange County.  Some days you will find her orchestrating events while other days she will be knee deep in play dough.  She is a fashion addict and do not believe that she should have to give up fabulous clothes simply because someone calls me “Mommy”.  She created “Juggling in Heels” as an outlet to laugh about parenthood and marriage, and of course, obsess about fashion.
