Accessorize Your Summer: Our 2011 Must Have's!

Saying that we are excited for summer is a total understatement. In preparation for the season (that is just weeks away) we decided to share our list of must have accessories and trends!

1. There is nothing that compares to reading an actual book, as opposed to a screen. Do you Love reading beach/poolside but get frustrated over wet pages and runny print? Not into the whole Kindle scene? We have the perfect solution! Meet the environmental friendly DuraBooks...

DuraBooks™ can go where ordinary ones cannot. And as a result, there are new and completely untapped markets for waterproof books: field guides, travel books, children’s books, cookbooks, maps, manuals, books for camping, boating, fishing, and of course, books to read in the tub, on the beach, at the pool, at the spa [via]

2. Summer is all about color; even drinks are more colorful this time of year! Nothing makes more of statement than a bright colored handbag to tie together your perfect summer look. Another plus with this must have, you won't have to worry about it getting lost in the sea of boring black bags while you're dancing the night away.
