Must Haves: Endless Summer
Fall is such a fun season for shopping. It’s time to stock up on back-to-school items, cuddly clothes, and even start on your Christmas shopping if you are ahead of the game. Many of the stores here at Seven Mile Beach stay open through the endless summer and even the holiday season. You can find everything you need to complete your fall list right here. Here are some fall essentials and back-to-school items we feel are must haves!
1. NATURAL WOOD DESK
We love everything about this desk. The natural wood makes it beachy and perfect for any room in the house. It’s large enough to get homework done but won’t take up too much room. There are several drawers for storage, and it sits high enough that your knees won’t bang the top.
