Summer is (un)officially upon us. We may be a few weeks away from the first day of summer but those warm days and summer nights are making their way to Chicago. This California girl feels very much at home strolling through the city in sandals and dresses. I’ve already laid out a few times (with sunscreen, of course) and am so ready for my first beach day. Here are a few things to pack in your beach bag this summer. Shop everything below! And then treat yourself to this summer salad.
