With the weather hitting consistent summer temperatures, it finally feels like summer is here, permanently, in So. Cal… which means it’s time for all things summer…. summer wines, summer reads, and summer music stations. With so much time spent outside during the warmer months there is nothing I like better than reading a good book by the pool + sipping a crisp glass of wine by the fire pit with some good music in the background. So I took to instagram to get some recommendations on all three of my favorite summer things… and decided they were all so good I wanted to share them with everyone! Just scroll below for some amazing music stations, summer crisp wine, and some intriguing book titles… and then go enjoy the summer weekend (well, in one more day….)

I’ll be sharing my full Nordstrom Anniversary Sale post tomorrow morning… but this little lightweight thermal, that I purchased last season and plan on wearing over and over again this season, is included. It works great with shorts in the summertime, and easily transitions to fall with some jeans.
