Fun fact: Your phone's notes app is good for more than just keeping track of the groceries you need to buy. I like to use it to tally the upcoming summer fashion trends and beauty finds that catch my eye. Are you curious about what goes on an editor's summer shopping list? I'm filling you in on all of my new-season essentials.
My to-buy list includes trendy sneakers from Nike and Adidas that my favorite celebrities have already dubbed the shoes of the summer. I also think this is the season I finally try the capri pants trend, but I'll add a few tried-and-true linen pants into my rotation, too. On the beauty front, my summer mood board is all about effortless products with high impact—think cream blush, waterline-proof eyeliner, and red lipstick.
This is just a highlight reel of what's on my wishlist, so keep scrolling for the rest of my summer fashion and beauty essentials. These are the finds I'll be turning to again and again this upcoming season, and I know you will, too.

Summer is my busiest time of the year, so I won't have time to head to the salon. Instead, I'll be relying on this tried-and-true hair gloss to refresh my dye job.
