Thanks for following along with my week of back-to-school for grownups goodies! I’ve had so much fun pulling these together – don’t miss the most gorgeously chic school supplies, fashion-forward backpacks, and sweet rides.

The one textbook I kept from college is my Art History book that weighs 38.5 pounds and is the size of 2 cinderblocks stuck together. But it’s full of notes, scribblings, highlighters, and a few post-its and it makes me happy to remember those hours spent studying, memorizing, and cramming. So in honor of that giant book (and Susan Caldwell’s Art History at OU), today I present my round-up of “textbooks” — except this time, it’s all about some beautiful beach reads. Keep these out on the coffee table to keep summer alive year round!

BEACH READS

1. BEACHES BY GRAY MALIN
2. THE BIG BOOK OF THE HAMPTONS
3. SURF CRAFT (great guys gift!)
4. PALM BEACH CHIC
5. SLIM AARONS ONCE UPON A TIME
6. LIFE & LOVE OF THE SEA
7. ALLEGRA HICKS

I peeked through Gray Malin’s Beaches last week and it is so gorgeous. I’m definitely snapping that one up ASAP, and I also want the Slim Aarons tome too!
