June 20: Since some summer staples are simply mandatory for a smooth and effortless vacation, FWD picked out our favorite luxurious ones to keep you polished, and a few practical ones to keep you looking cool when the temperatures are hot.

The newest addition to Chanel's J12 sporty watch family is simply one of the best summer accessories we've ever seen. And it's not just a pretty face.

There's nothing more chic or fitting for sexy poolside strutting or stylish spa going than Jimmy Choo's terry cloth spa wedge.
Banana Republic lightweight ribbed tanks are an absolute must.

If you want a bag that looks good while you're on the way to your exotic destination, but one that'll service you well while you're there, then Hogan's canvas travel tote with leather trim in a range of sorbet colors is a must. On the other hand, if you're headed to for the hills in the great outdoors, then strap on Swiss Army's Trek Pak. Its ergonomic technology, telescoping spine and suspension system, and detachable daypack will equip you for any adventure.
Keep the sun out of your eyes and sneakily spy on the beautiful people to your heart's content in Gucci's new unisex wraparounds. There's nothing like some sun and sand to get your sex drive soaring. Make sure what's directly on that smooth golden skin is as gorgeous as your bod itself. Underglam's fancy pants have already found themselves on the derrieres of sex kittens SJP, Kim Cattrall and Courtney Cox Arquette. Make sure they're on yours too.
