Preppy Summer Essentials

Monogram lobster tote  //  Jack Rogers circle monogram sandals in beige/white – order a ½ size up!  //  Summer hat  //  Lobster beach towel (old) similar version (on sale!)

Summer, sweet summer.  The days are long, nights are warm, and skin is tan.  It seems like every chance I get, I’m relinquishing in the summer heat.  One thing you must know about me is that I’m obsessed with lobsters.  Oh, and anything monogrammed for that matter!

So, naturally, when I stumbled across my favorite monogrammed tote in a lobster critter print (and seersucker!), I ordered one immediately.  It’s easily my favorite tote that I’ve ever owned.  The nautical flag print is my second choice.  I purchased the medium size, and it’s definitely still roomy enough to fit a towel and all of my beach essentials.

I have a confession.  This is my first pair of Jack Rogers!  I know… I know.  How did I manage to survive the past 30 years without a pair of these iconic shoes?!  I finally bit the bullet and ordered them after trying on a couple pairs at Nordstrom for the right fit.  I heard they run small and narrow, but the leather stretches and molds to your foot over time.  Definitely order a half size up for your normal size for the perfect fit.  They require a few wears to break in, but I finally see what all of the hype is about!  Oh, and I just ordered the navy pair… #SorryI’mNotSorry
