By the time August hits, summer is no longer messing around. And neither are we. Determined to eek out every sun-drenched ounce of our all-too-brief balmy season, we’ve established an arsenal of summer essentials to keep us in the moment and happily outdoors.
Herbal Insect Repellent by Meow Meow Tweet: Available at Luke’s General Store, this organic, chemical-free repellant mixes citronella, rosemary, cedar and fir oils with lavender water and witch hazel for a spritz as sweet-smelling as it is effective.
Stainless Steel Flask: Fill this adorable 3 oz. flask from Gastown’s Meadow Gifts with Victoria Spirits Left Coast Hemp Vodka and leave it in your freezer overnight. Then toss it in your bag for an ice-cold pack that’s bracing in more ways than one.
The Coolest Shades: Berlin-based eyewear company Mykita and Maison Martin Margiela teamed up this summer, and the result was these radically futuristic, concisely high-concept and ultimately chic-as-all-get-out frames, a.k.a., our summer romance. Available at Bruce Eyewear.
With good weather and long weekends in the forecast, you’ll be needing summer essentials of your own—that’s why we’re giving away 12 Summer Essential Giveaways courtesy of Hawaiian Tropic. Valued at $140 each, they’re stocked with towels, shades, water bottles, sunscreen galore and more. Enter to win one of 12 $140 prize packs here.
