The Summer Essential Kit by Lisa Curran for Lavanila.

May 26, 2009/

Are you so into summer now that it has unofficially kicked off over the weekend? I am and cannot wait for it to really warm up (why is it only 45 degrees this morning?).

This is a great set to get us all in the mood. Swim wear designer Lisa Curran and Lavanila Laboratories have joined together to create this great beauty of set and they are calling it the Summer Essential Kit by Lisa Curran for Lavanila.

This year, Lisa Curran created a lavender-themed swim wear collection that was inspired by the delicate scent of Lavanila’s new lavender line. The shade of lavender she chose is absolutely beautiful and can be worn by any skin-tone. The Summer Essential Kit includes a choice of select swimsuits from this lavender themed collection and summer must-haves from Lavanila’s Vanilla Lavender line.

The Summer Essential Kit includes:

One of three lavender-hued Lisa Curran swimsuits
A Lavanila Vanilla Lavender Healthy Lip Shine
A travel-sized Lavanila Vanilla Lavender Healthy Body Butter
A waterproof, reusable pouch (great to tote beach side essentials while keeping them safe from sand and water damage)

The Summer Essential Kit is also for a good cause...with each purchase, Lisa Curran and Lavanila are giving back to The Ocean Project. The Ocean Project is a nonprofit organization that works in partnership with aquariums, zoos, and museums around the world to protect the ocean.

I want it. How about you? Check out the Summer Essential Kit on lisacurran.com where it sells for $175.
