Scandinavian style is essential for summer, and it's exactly what you're looking for to get the easiest and comfiest look this season. This all-consuming Pinterest and Instagram trend is so effortless, yet still cool and chic at the same time. The outfits are almost always comprised of easy-to-get pieces that are, mots likely, in your wardrobe already. And if not, here's a list of the 10 essential pieces you need in order to nail this #ScandiGirlSummer look.

Djerf Avenue

Djerf Avenue Summer Field Top

How could we talk about Scandi summer style and not mention the Scandinavian style icon herself, Matilda Djerf? She's the queen of the effortlessly cool style that we're talking about. This top is one of their new pieces, and it's just perfect to throw on with a pair of shorts and ballet flats for the summer. I've purchased so many items from this brand, and every single piece is so high quality! It'll definitely make you feel like a Scandi cool girl in no time. 100/10 for me!

Djerf Avenue

Djerf Avenue Airy Midi Dress

Another amazing Djerf Avenue find! It's currently number 1 on my wishlist for Scandinavian girl summer given how versatile it is! I love the flowy, effortlessness of the dress, especially styled with dainty flats like above! This will make for the easiest outfit combo to throw on when you're in a hurry, but still want to look chic.

Amazon

Pink Stripe Linen Shorts

Striped linen shorts are the #1 essential of mastering Scandinavian style! They're in practically every Scandinavian cool-girl's closet, and can be worn in a multitude of ways. With flats and a sweater, a matching set with Birkenstocks, the list goes on and on. A versatile essential for the summertime!

Amazon

Havaiana Flip Flops

These flip flops are not only one of the most popular Scandi-girl shoes, but they're also insanely affordable! You may think, "But these are just basic flip flops?" And while yes that is true, they're also just the perfect casual statement to add to a fancier look. Scandi girl aesthetic is all about comfort and looking effortlessly cool, so if you're wearing something traditionally more fancy like a maxi dress, then throw these on to add the signature Scandinavian style to it!

Nordstrom

Topshop Linen Button Down

Another incredibly versatile piece is a linen button down. You can throw it over so many outfit options like a dress or linen pants or even as a cover-up like above! This is a staple to take an outfit to the next level, adding an additional layer or dimension to an otherwise simple look.

Nordstrom

Birkenstock Boston Clogs

You may think that these are more of a fall and winter shoe, but scandi girls love these for the summer! I have to say that I agree as well. I wear these everywhere in the summer. I wear them with matching shorts and button down sets, or to the beach, or even sometimes with denim skirts! They're also insanely comfortable so definitely add this to your "minimalist wishlist."

Abercrombie

Abercrombie Linen Pant

Pajama style is seriously taking off right alongside the rise of Scandi style — and that's because they were the ones to revolutionize it! Really though, pajama sets in public are so in, and I'm here for it! I love these exactly styled how they are above with a white tank (another Scandi basic), flip flops, and a straw bag!

Amazon

Canvas Tote Bag

Scandi girls are always on the go, so they're always carrying a classic, tote bag to carry everything they need! I love this stylish option from Amazon for under $20. You can use it as an everyday accessory, or as a beach bag, in typical Scandi fashion.

Amazon

Oval Sunglasses

The perfect accessory to every Scandinavian outfit? You guessed it, oval sunglasses. These ones from Amazon are so affordable so you can get the Scandi girl look on a budget. They come in black and — my favorite — brown leopard!

Nordstrom

Petal & Pup Linen Set

Scandi girl summer is all about linen. It's breezy, easy, and so comfortable. Bonus points if it comes in a matching set like this one does! You can pair this cute set with your oval sunglasses, tote, and Birkenstock clogs!

POV: You're on day 5 of your hair wash routine, and you're trying to decide whether to dry shampoo, or just try to do a slick back bun that you know will take you forever to get right. With option A, you're left with talc-like texture and heavy buildup in your hair, and option B, you're left nervous that the tight hairstyle might not help your hair thinning.

But what if I told you there were dry shampoos that didn't leave behind all that that heavy residue and buildup? What if there were a dry shampoo that felt lightweight and easy, so you could get ready in 5 minutes? Believe it or not, these actually exist, so you don't have to worry about resorting to that hour-long slick back bun process anymore! I've tried and tested these dry shampoos — some of them being completely talc-free — to give you the easiest hair routine in the morning! Here are the 8 I recommend.

Crown Affair

Crown Affair Dry Shampoo

I was gifted this product a few weeks ago, but I can say that I genuinely have fallen in love with it, and I can't wait to purchase it as it runs out. It's a nontoxic, refillable dry shampoo that comes in powder form. This dry shampoo is incredibly lightweight and blends into my roots seamlessly — so much so, that I forgot I even used it! One of my favorite dry shampoos I've used in recent years. Plus, it's an Allure Best Beauty Product Award-Winner, so you know it's good! Definitely worth the hype!

Vegamour

Vegamour Dry Shampoo

This product is an award-winning dry shampoo, not only because of it's ability to make your hair looks freshly washed, but also because of all the volume it adds to your hair. It makes your roots look fuller and more lifted than before, so you'll get a refreshed do with a little height for the day! It's a great product if you're looking for more volume in your roots alongside a more typical dry shampoo.

Amazon

Batiste Dry Shampoo

This dry shampoo is extremely effective and extremely affordable — it's only $6! I've been using this for years because I go through my dry shampoo really fast, so it's nice to have a cheaper alternative that I can go through quickly and not worry about it being too expensive. Plus, it smells amazing! You'll have fresh hair in no time!

Amazon

Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo

Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo is completely talc-free, so it doesn't have the annoying buildup that a lot of dry shampoos cause. It's designed to completely get rid of excess oil that may accumulate in your hair and on your scalp. It's a great, lightweight option that won't weigh your hair down.

Amazon

Moroccan Oil Dry Shampoo

This dry shampoo is designed with lighter toned-hair in mind! It helps to blend in seamlessly with your lighter hair color, so you don't have traces of dry shampoo left behind for everyone to see. An added bonus with this one? It protects against UV damage! This is a huge plus for me as someone who is very sensitive to UV rays — especially on my scalp. The scent of this dry shampoo is just divine, as well! Grab this one to be protected, look fresh, and smell nice while you're at it.

Amazon

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day

Not only does this eliminate any oil, smell, or buildup, but it's also silicone-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free and cruelty-free — which is very rare in beauty products these days. Add this dry shampoo to your cart immediately to get the job done in a safe and sustainable way, because this product really cleans your hair.

Amazon

Dryer Detox Dry Shampoo

Anyone can use this product because it works effectively for all hair types! It smells so good, and genuinely cleanses your hair. I love to use it on my blowouts because it helps to make my hair looks clean, but also give it that voluminous, bouncy curls that I'm looking for. This one is a favorite of mine that I savor for more special occasions!

Amazon

Kristin Ess Dry Shampoo

We've got an option for all my ladies with darker tones as well, don't you worry! Another amazing aspect to this one is that it's infused with Vitamin C oil which is good for shine, making your hair look healthy, and keeping it from appearing too chalky. Lucious locks are on the way with this dry shampoo!

The best summer fragrances are meant to remind you of the promise of carefree days that are filled with limitless adventures and pink-hued sunset nights. They're basically sunshine in a bottle — especially if the top, middle, and bottom notes complement each other well. If you're in the mood for a new summer scent that gives your whole vibe a boost, we've got 8 summer fragrances that range from warm gourmands to citrus.

P.S. Be sure to bookmark our fall fragrances so you're prepared for something a little moodier once summer ends!

Best Summer Fragrances: Gourmands And Florals

Steve Madden

Steve Madden GOLDIE Fragrance

We didn't know Steve Madden would join the ranks of the best summer fragrances this year, but we're fans of this sultry scent. In addition to sparking your feel-good emotions, the golden pear, jasmine, and amberwood scents will wrap your confidence in a warm hug.

Sephora

Brown Girl Jane Carnivale Eau de Parfum

Fruity florals are an absolute summer favorite to layer on our skin, and this fragrance from Brown Girl Jane is no exception to that! This fragrance has Caribbean Mango, whipped musk, and vanilla in it, making it the perfect blend of floral and gourmand — just right for the anyone who doesn't want to overpowered by either!

Macy's

Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild Eau de Parfum

Marc Jabocs isn't just known for being a talented fashion designer, but he's also associated with some of the best summer fragrances we've ever smelled.

The one we think you should have on your radar this year is Daisy Wild. Though it has Banana Blossom in it, you can also smell hints of Jasmine, Macadamia, Sandalwood, and Vetiver des Sables.

P.S. This is fragrance you wear to that brunch meeting.

Neiman Marcus

Maison Francis Kurkdijan Amyris Femme Eau de Parfum

This is another fruity floral fragrance that smells like a fun Caribbean or European vacation in a bottle. Normally we only care to drink lemon drops or have them drizzled over our mediterranean recipes, but we'll settle for briefly smelling it in our fragrance for now!

Sephora

Nette Rose Parade Eau de Parfum

Though this one is inspired by a sprawling spring afternoon, we think it can be transitional since it's still the beginning of a new season. You'll smell like rose essential, ylang ylang, and ambertonic so don't be surprised if the bees mistake you for their favorite flower. No, seriously...be careful. 👀

Moodeaux

Moodeaux Brand New Eau de Parfum

We don't know about you, but we love fragrances we can wear to bed. Personally, this is good to lightly spritz after you've applied a body oil or body butter post-shower. It's got all the right blends of cardamom, pink pepper, coconut, and neroli petals, so you'll feel like you're sleeping on a bed of sweet-smelling flowers.

Best Summer Fragrances: Citrus

Saks Fifth Avenue

Tom Ford Costa Azzura Eau de Parfum

Not everyone likes warm gourmands or florals, so citrus fragrances are a great option! This scent is still a little woodsy, but it'll remind you of the the time you vacationed in Cabo and spent some quality time near the Pacific Ocean.

It's luxurious á la Gwen Stefani's famous single. You'll be quietly humming, "In champagne kisses, hold me in your lap of luxury," to yourself as you smell the oakwood, lemon, and cypress scents on your skin.

Sephora

Gucci Bloom Profumo di Fiori Eau de Parfum

This is as classic of a citrus summer fragrance as you're going to get. It's equal parts tuberose flower, ylang ylang, jasmine, and rangoon creeper. Don't let that last scent fool you though — you'll feel like anything but a creeper while wearing this gorgeous perfume.

Amazon

Remember your first 4th of July fireworks show? You sat mesmerized looking at the beautiful lights that glittered the sky. You could feel the deep booming noise in your belly and your eyes watered as you tried not to blink. What an amazing moment! As fireworks lovers, we are getting giddy for the upcoming 4th of July festivities. To celebrate Independence Day, we're taking inspiration from Say Yes and making sparkler alternatives that are perfect for your little ones to play with in between rounds of their favorite lawn game. These DIY paper + glitter sparklers sparkle without the sparks!

Brit + Co

Materials:

Brit + Co

– paper

– straws

– glitter

Tools:

– paper cutter (or scissors)

– spray adhesive

– glue stick

Instructions:

Brit + Co

If you don’t have a paper cutter, that is a-okay. Scissors work just as well. Cut your paper in half lengthwise. Then cut slits along one of the long edges to create fringe. Now cut this piece in half. Add a layer of spray adhesive to the tips of the fringe. Do this on both sides of the paper.

Brit + Co

  1. Cut your piece of paper in half lengthwise. Fringe one of the long ends, then cut this piece in half.
  2. Coat the tips of the fringe with spray adhesive, covering the front and the back of the paper. Sprinkle the paper with glitter.
  3. Roll your paper tightly and then add glue to the end. Insert the glued end into your straw.
  4. Separate the fringe and give your sparkler shape.

Brit + Co

Normally we would wait until the adhesive was tacky, but we found that for this project it worked better to add the glitter right away. Separate the fringe if it is sticking together. Then roll your paper tightly like it’s a mini yoga mat.

Brit + Co

Add glue to the end and file it into the straw.

Brit + Co

Separate the fringe to make your sparkler come to life!

Brit + Co

Though flameless, they are still super fun :) They look like mini versions of the huge ones that light up the sky!

Brit + Co

Not only are they great for kids, but they are also perfect photo booth props or park accessories!
