Like clockwork, the summer sunshine is back—and so is my spark. My calendar is already looking pretty packed for the next few months, so I thought it was time to refresh my closet and vanity for the season ahead. Despite summer Fridays and leisurely beach days, summer is always so busy. I don't have time to go through my entire closet every time I get dressed or comb through all my lipstick shades to find the perfect one for the occasion. Plus, I don't have much room to spare in my NYC apartment, so I have to be extra picky with what I let in.
Below, I've curated a list of the beauty and fashion essentials I'm shopping this summer. From chic handbags and silk scrunchies to matching sets, keep scrolling for all the inspiration you need.
