Even though summer does not technically start until the middle of June, the season kicks off early in the US on Memorial Day weekend. Now is the time to get some hot gear to keep cool and in style this summer.

You Gotta Wear Shades
A cool pair of shades sets off any summer look right. While many of us cannot afford a pair of Chanel aviator sunglasses for $290 at Nordstrom, we can always gain shopping inspiration from them and find a cheaper pair elsewhere!

Stylish Yet Comfortable Shoes
 Strappy sandals are cute and sexy, but not very practical in the sand. So why not try a pair of trendy flip flops like Vera Wang's Winona flip flop for $195 at Nordstrom. Again if you don't want to spend the money for these, find a similar pair for less.
