As the temperatures rise and the sun shines brighter, it’s the perfect time to revamp my closet with essential pieces that will keep you cool, comfortable, and stylish throughout the season. Whether you’re planning beach getaways, rooftop parties, or casual outings with friends, my summer wardrobe staples from Mod&Soul will ensure you’re ready to embrace the season in fashion-forward style.

Silver hoops are trending this summer, but I’d be remiss to forget these cute golden flower earrings in my summer lineup. These animal print slit pants are perfect for wearing as a coverup to the pool or in the evening by the bonfire. These denim shorts will be perfect for tossing on with this cute bodysuit tank to run errands or take my boys to their summer activities.

Poolside Essentials

Charlotte — Wed, 21 Jun 2023 06:15:08 +0000

Get ready to soak up the sun and embrace the poolside vibes with our ultimate guide to poolside essentials. To make the most of your poolside experience, I’ve curated a collection of must-have essentials that will keep you stylish, comfortable, and protected from the sun’s rays. From trendy bathing suits courtesy of Cupshe, to chic sandals that will take you from poolside to beachside, I’ve got you covered with all of my favorites.

Shop the essentials:

I’m loving Cupshe’s swimwear this summer! The ruching in the high waisted set and the purple tie back one piece are perfect for when you’re feeling bloated to slim your torso. The print of the bikini set will perfectly compliment the tan you’re working on and the mesh cutout of the black one piece gives flirty vibes while also providing more coverage. I love a crochet cover-up because it gives converge when heading to the pool, but keeps you cool when you’re heading inside for a mid-day nap.

The L*Space woven backpack is perfect for carrying your SPF, towel and summer read while looking stylish and perfect for taking on vacation. Bump up the sun protection with my favorite Target straw hat, that rolls up for easy packing and allows you to keep your hair out of your face. Finishing off my essentials are my favorite Target sandals, comfy and stylish for a trip to the pool or beach.

Get your skin summer ready by booking our MAB Hydrojelly Facial for extra hydration and touchable softness!
