Remember when summer meant no school, endless days of riding your banana seat bicycle around the neighborhood, making friendship bracelets and picking daisies for your hair? That was the life. Your wardrobe consisted of just 5 or 6 key pieces that were easy to throw on and strip off when it was time to reveal your bathing suit underneath. Below is a collection of vintage summer style items to help you relive your childhood days. The good news is– there’s no middle school ahead. Here’s to an endless summer!

Clockwise from top left corner: Madras Jumper, Kate Spade Bicycle Basket, Recipe for Classic Lemonade, Debutante Cruiser, Rope and Leather Bracelet, Rocket Popsicle Molds, Natalie One-Piece Bathing Suit, Canvas Keds, Jean Shorts.
Until next time,

P.S. I searched online for a picnic blanket, but am strangely stumped. Do you have a favorite picnic blanket? Any site/shop recommendations? Thank You!
