Summer has made her long-awaited debut unofficially. We’ve experienced a short Spring on the East Coast and jumped immediately into 75+ degree weather. Memorial Day Weekend always feels like the start of Summer, regardless. To kick off the “official, unofficial” start of Summer, we will share some of team TL's summer essentials or just a few things we've been obsessing over lately. Ranging from shoes to bags, phones to jewelry, and more, keep reading to steal our teams' style.

You can’t go wrong with a two-piece matching set for Summer, and this one from Waverles is the perfect lightweight set to throw on and go. The vibe is effortless and put together at the same time. Pair it with our Brunch Hoop Earrings and you're good to go.
If you’re looking for new shoes to pair with your matching set, the Eva Arizona Birkenstocks will do the trick. The slip-on slides are comfortable, waterproof, and easy to add to any outfit.
Everyone needs a staple pair of sunnies for the Summer, and the Hexagonal Ray Bans have quickly become my go-to pair. A trendy yet classic design, the flattering sunglasses have quickly become a must-have.
I’m all for a baseball cap moment, especially in the Summer, and this Denim Cap from Anthropologie is stylish, sporty and will add a cool girl, put-together vibe to any outfit—bonus points for sun protection. Since we’re on the sun protection topic, EltaMD UV Daily Tinted Sunscreen has been everything I could ever want for the hot Jersey sun. The sheer sunscreen is lightweight and blendable with a slight tint, making it ideal for those no-makeup beach days when you still want a little coverage.

Light and airy, I’ll be wearing these Linen Pants all Summer. Their versatility makes them the perfect summer staple; pair them with this Metallic Tank and oversized button-down for the perfect Farmers Market look.
Tis the season for the extra-dirty martini girl. Wearing this hat will let the bartender know exactly what to make when you walk through the door. The red trim details add a fun pop of color, making it perfect for summer rooftop vibes. Adding a chunky hoop will complete the look.
I’ve been obsessing over the Blue Ray Telfar Bag. Something about the metallic blue color just screams summer, making it fun and unique. As you can see, I’ve been really into the metallic vibes lately, so it's no surprise that my current favorite phone case is this cool metallic wave pattern.
We love a good summer sandal, and these TKEES are one of my favorites. With a classic flip-flop design, you can easily take these sandals from day to night—from the beach to brunch to the bar—they are the perfect versatile and comfortable style.

These Indy Sunglasses represent my energy and mood all Summer, and no further explanation is needed. I’m obsessed with the brown-tinted lens, making them an understated statement piece. Paired with the Arya + Lilou Necklaces, my new go-to look.
I’ll be carrying this bag all Summer long, and although I chose form over function, I don’t regret it. This Acrylic Bag is perfect for the season and adds a cool, elevated touch to my outfits.
We’re hot girl walking every day this summer, and I wouldn’t be able to do that without my Nike Metcons. I love that everyone is on team Hoka, but for me, the Metcons are a bit more stylish and provide the perfect amount of support for gym workouts, hot girl walks, etc.
After watching Challengers, I entered my tennis core era. My go-to set has been this Polo Tank and Lined Wrap Skirt from Abercrombie. I am in love with this set because it can truly take you from day to night, and its versatility is unmatched. So yes, I will be spending all my money this Summer on Abercrombie's activewear.
To be honest, I switch my phone cases almost every two weeks, but for the foreseeable future, I’ll be sticking with this European Summer Phone Case; it’s fun, colorful, and it’s genuinely just summer on a phone case.
The song Orange Blossoms by GoldFord has been on repeat for the past four weeks. It’s the perfect season transitional song. Play it at the beach, on a rooftop, or on a summer night drive, wherever the vibes are unmatched!
