My Summer Essentials: Jamie of A Desert Fete

While I am spending a little more time staring at my sweet new baby boy, I've asked a handful of my favorite bloggers to share with you their style must-haves for Summer. I am very excitied to have this next blogger and fellow new mama share her essentials - Jamie of A Desert Fete.


01: umbrella
02: tank
03: bra

Hello Campers!

Jamie, from A Desert Fete, here. As Roberta's will soon be (YAY!) my summer has been baby, baby, baby. I can't talk about this summer's essentials without acknowledging how the baby has changed what is essential! Hopefully you might like these even if your summer isn't so one minded.

First off; a fine parasol or umbrella is so handy. We love walking around the neighborhood with baby in one of his carriers. He likes to look out at the world around him, but hates the sun in his eyes (and on his precious new skin.) So mama and baby keep shaded in style!

I have been living in slouchy tank tops. Let's face it, a brand new mom generally has no need for a figure hugging top. But we still want to look cute, stay cool, and be comfy, natch.

And forget wearing a bulky ole nursing bra under one of these breezy tanks, pick up a 3 pack of American Apparel's bandeau type bras. They offer pretty comfortable support, easy access for nursing, and they can be fully visible under a way oversized tank without it really looking like a bra, you know?

Hope you all are enjoying my favorite season of the year!

  1. I am obsessed with those t by a wang tanks this summer, I was just saying yesterday how I never want to wear anything else! And while I'm no nursing mom, it is fun to have just a peak of a little bralette showing, either a bandeau one like you've got here, or american apparel also makes these lovely little lace ones. Excellent stuff!

  3. I am really into the idea of these tube bras. It's too hot to worry about wire and straps and hooks! Plus, no straps to worry about when wearing racer back and cross-back tanks.
