Let's talk summer outfit inspiration. Summer is here, which means lots of travel and outdoor events. I am definitely looking forward to lots of pool time, patio cocktails and dinners al fresco. We have some upcoming vacations, so planning my looks is a must. I've also included my summer bucket list. I would love to hear what's on your list this season.

Summer Outfit Inspiration

If you’re heading out to grab some much needed Vitamin D, the first must-have is a high-quality swimsuit. I love this printed one-piece swimsuit. It's such a cute print and flattering style. I linked more options below or read HERE for the best swimsuits of 2025. Just add this linen dress cover-up to take you to and from the pool or beach.

Summer means many dinners al fresco, so make sure you have something stylish, but lightweight and comfortable. This printed linen mini dress is both beautiful and comfortable. Plus, the print is so fun. Wear it with these wedges to complete your look. You also need a cute and casual look. These linen shorts are a must-have for summer time. They're so versatile and could be worn as a casual summer look or for an upscale, summer professional look. For a laidback summer look, pair them with this linen eyelet blouse and raffia tote for an everyday summer look.

Now for accessories…if you're planning many days poolside then flip flops, sunglasses, sunscreen and a fabulous hat are a must. Next, you’ll want at least one summer-inspired jewelry like these pearl seashell earrings. They are the epitome of summer!

If you're hosting this summer, you will need summer tablescape pieces. Something that I recommend are these lemon placemats. They're so cute and the epitome of summer. You will also need these shell linen cocktail napkins and these beaded tumblers. Cheers! Now you're ready for happy hour.

Tanya’s Summer Bucket List

1) Plan a weekend beach getaway – Think chic and charming, like Seaside, Rosemary Beach, or Palm Beach.

2) Host a patio happy hour – Complete with a signature summer cocktail and a lemon-themed tablescape.

3) Read two beach books – Preferably with a sunhat poolside. Next on my list is The Housemaid series.

4) Revamp my summer skincare routine – Lightweight products, glowing skin, and SPF always. I've listed some of my new favorite products here.

5) Visit a local blueberry farm for fresh-picked berries — Enjoy a relaxing morning outdoors picking seasonal blueberries to use in fresh recipes or simple snacks. Last summer I visited Ham Orchards and loved it, so this year I want to try Blueberry Hill Farms. I've heard they even have blueberry ice cream.
