While day dreaming of California I think of all the things I could wear laying on the beach or walking through the streets.  Flipping through magazines and surfing tumblr has aided my current obsessions for summer.

1. White high top Chuck Taylor’s (Picture via my-wardrobe.com)
   1. My pick for perfect the perfect classic sneaker of summer. I want to wear them with my classic 501 cut offs and my hair in a messy bun.

   

2. Essie Nail Polish (Photo Via Essie.com)
   1. The perfect selection of summer colors. Fun for any outfit especially to match my white shorts and flowy tops.

   1. Not that I have a beach near me, but I feel like these are the must have beach cover up.

   

4. Free People fringe bathing suit (Photo via freepeople.com)
   1. Probably not practical for a pool but excellent for sun bathing. Fair warning, watch out for fringe tan lines.

   

5. Metallic Sperry Top Siders (Photo Via Zappos.com)
   1. I’d wear these walking anywhere, especially around a pier. Nothing matches the comfort of a Sperry.

   1. Amazing setting and music. Who doesn’t love Abba?

8. NYC (Photo via Skyscapeinternational.com)
   1. My ideal summer vacation spot. It may not have beaches but the shopping districts such as Soho are to die for.

   

9. Andy Warhol (Photo via biography4u.com)
   1.  Marily Monroe pop art, it’s so classic and vibrant. I would love a version that takes up my entire wall. It would be the stand alone piece in my room. Because literally everything in my room lacks colors.  This is  a must have for me!

   

10. All the books I’m supposed to get around to reading… Starting with finishing the last 3 books of the Harry Potter series. (Photo via harrypotterwallpapers.org)
