Summer staples all under $50

July 16, 2020 By Alaina No Comments

My summer time finds that are staples in my home and closet.

One of my favorite things about living in the Midwest is the changing seasons. I love being able to switch out small detail pieces in my home, wardrobe, and beauty routine. I’ve put together a collection of a few of my summer staples that are all under $50.

Summer: home

First for my home summer staples we have fun, colored candles in this peach tone. I love swapping out candles because it’s the best way to inexpensively make a statement. This peach color makes me think of sherbet, sunsets, and warmth so great for summer!

Second is a tray. A tray is a must for all year, so if you don’t have one you can easily pick one up and use it through out the year- just change up what you put on the tray. Here I’ve put the peach colored candles and some summer flowers.

Then finally dried grasses in a tall clear glass vase are a summer staple. I keep these grasses around pretty much all year and will add different textures for the different seasons. I love the neutral color tones that can easily fit in your space.

summer: beauty

I’ve been using these beauty products for years now. What I love the most is the light scent of the sprays. I will note if you are looking for a more perfume heavy smell that lasts all day, this won’t be for you. The smell is very light and fresh. I will spray throughout the day as a lovely refresh.

I love to use the coconut sea mist in my hair to give it a beach like feel and smell. This is an all over the body spray, so I just spray it everywhere! Also the after sun mist has a light aloe feel which is great to spray on after some time spent in the sun (PS- always wear sunscreen!! I should include sunscreen here, but I use sunscreen all year so it’s not really special to summer for me but for sure apply extra when going out in the sun!!)

summer: wardrobe

To me a classic black one piece swimsuit will always be a staple in my closet. Also a neutral cover up that goes with all colors. I’ve been loving all the fun hair accessories that are trendy right now. I know this over sized scrunchy might not be considered a staple, but for this summer it is! I wear a lot of pony tails in the summer, so have been getting good use out of the scrunchy.

A for sure staple are sunglasses. I mean how many pairs are too much?! I love the smaller shape of the ones I have on here. This brand carries a lot of fun styles and shapes. Usually they have a sale going on too!

Same goes for gold hoop earrings. I have so many different sizes, it’s fun to mix and match them all. I hope you can find some summer staples here that will inspire you to add into your own summer!

Other favorite dried product!
