Summer Must-Haves for a Day at the Pool
I’ve written about things to take to the lake, but for you gurls who prefer chlorinated water, I’m giving you a list of must-haves for a day at the pool! Can you tell that I get excited about summer?!
A Great Hat
A great hat is a must-have for a day at the pool, for sure. It’s functional – no sunburn or damaged skin, and fashionable! I love a wide-brimmed hat, but a baseball cap or bucket hat will do as well – as long as they’re cute. lol
A Coverup That Says WOW
Gurls, no baggy t-shirts, please. There’s no excuse not to have a stylish coverup. This one is only $30 dollars! I’ve worn this coverup with shorts and a tee, and it also looks great belted.
A Beautiful Beach Towel
Have you tried these Turkish beach towels? I love that they can be used like a wrap. Drape it around your hips for a stylish walk around the pool deck. And they are light and dry faster than a typical terry cloth towel.
A Great Pair of Sunglasses
I am a thrifty shopper on most things, but when it comes to sunglasses, I look for quality. My eyes are worth it! I tried on a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses a few years ago and fell in love. Of course, I still have a variety of cheaper versions that I keep in my car, etc., but if I could only have ONE must-have for a day at the pool – I’m investing in a good pair of sunglasses.
A Chic Beach Bag
Isn’t this bag cute? Y’all should know I’m a tote bag collector (hoarder) at this point. Lol. This bag could go straight from the pool to shopping. The neutral colors will go with anything, so feel free to carry it with an outfit.
Supergoop Sunscreen
Do I even need to say this? Sunscreen is a definite must-have. And please don’t pull out that half-empty bottle from last year. Get a fresh bottle with fresh ingredients so that you know it works.
A Simple Chic Flip-flop
Flip-flops don’t work everywhere, but they were invented for the pool! I just made that up. I have no idea where flip-flops came from, lol. But I do know that they are a must-have for a day at the pool, and these are simple and chic and would go with everything.
A Stanley Water Bottle
If you follow my YouTube channel (and why WOULDN’T you), you’ll know that I recently shot a video with a few of my favorite things. The Stanley water bottle was featured prominently. Yes, they are worth the hype. And as a friend told me, her granddaughter insisted she get one saying, “You’ll be the coolest grandmother ever!

So enjoying the double posts!
If you ever see “fit over” sunglasses that are super cute please post. I can only find kinda cute ones at Walmart and have not seen any cute ones on Amazon. The sunglasses you post are really cute but don’t stay on my glasses and I cannot see without my glasses!
❤ my Stanley water bottles and Bogg totes! Must haves for work, home and the beach! Also, there are so many fun Turkish towels. I like adding them as a little extra something in a gift. They are the perfect weight as a summer throw at home and in the car on a trip too!
Good stuff, Tania! I have the leopard print cover up and I LOVE IT! It’s cotton which keeps me cool. It’s my go to when we are cruising.
I’ve had no issues with the new format.
Outfit Inspo. Love this extra post
I’m loving the new format, Tania. I haven’t had any issues. I bought that exact turquoise Turkish towel last summer and it’s so nice and soft and lightweight. Oh, and by the way, love the static photo of you, beautiful and polished!
I love your new format! I have had no problem opening the links.
