There are things that are so awesome in the world that they can't be described with just some everyday word. Some commonplace word just doesn't cut the mustard to sum them up. Summer falls into this category. Honestly, think about all the things that come with the heating up of the weather as we tally forth into the months of July and August.

Open air music festivals. Camping out underneath the stars. Skinny dipping. Dancing late into the night. Catching rays on the beach, curling your toes into the sand. Sipping your favourite cold drink. Running until you break a sweat. Doing nothing until you break a sweat. Ice cream cones. Fireflies. Ghost stories. Wild beach hair. Bonfires. Brightly coloured feathers, accessories and clothing. The taste of fresh fruit. The smell of coconut sunscreen. Your new favourite bathing suit. Jumping off the cliff into the lake below. Cheers-ing to life over drinks on the patio. Running wild, anytime, anywhere you want. Neon war paint. Summer romance. Picnics. Fireworks. New top 40 bar hits to get stuck in your head, which is awesome until the radio overplays-them-like-woah. Wearing cute sandals to show off your favourite colour of nail polish. The freckles the sun brings out on your skin. The breeze of the leaves in the trees. Larger than life thunderstorms.

This month is about all of the above and anything else that is beyond and the regular stellar that summer has to bring you. We're here to shout it from the rooftops: July is the month of all things Bangarang! If it's wild, outrageous, elaborate or primitive, it's going to be here.

Also, contrary to current pop culture this theme has nothing to do with Skrillex... Although if you want a quirky Bangarang remix to groove to (dubstep free, we promise), we have a suggestion:

Welcome to summer!
