Jun 28, 2012 >> Summer Essentials: Carly Russ

Meet model Carly Russ from our Summer Fashion Editorial. This hip chick was just as stylish off set as she was on—total G&F style. The Chicago-native shares her favorite summer staples just in time for a fab 4th of July weekend.

ONE >> Marc by Marc Jacobs ‘What a Spectacle Beach Tote’
This is a must! Who can go to summer activities without a beach bag or large tote to carry all these summer essentials in?

TWO >> Butter Nail Polish ‘Trout Pink’
This is my go-to nail polish! Stays on longer than other brands and is good for your nails!

THREE >>Aquage Sea Salt Spray
It’s great for a beachy, textured look for you hair.

FOUR >> Michael Kors iPhone Wristlet
Michael Kors’ iphone clutch is awesome for summer because you can throw all your credit cards and cash in with your phone and not have to worry about a purse while going out! And no sand, either!

FIVE >> Archer Farms Trail Mix
My favorite treat comes in a little ziplock baggy you can bring along with you and throw in your purse. And it’s healthy!

SIX >> Jupiter Round Sunglasses
Everyone needs a good pair of sunglasses. This season? These are mine.

SEVEN >> Dolce Vita Bagley Sandal
I wear these sandals almost everyday. They’re easy to throw on and the best part: they go with everything!
