Summer essentials!

Well, even though the summer has only made an appearance in small bursts,none the less i want to share my favourite things that make me feel summery and happy even on a cloudy day!

Shell Bracelets are a great way to feel beachy! Just a few on your arm in pretty colours not only jazz up any outfit but they also look so girly and cute! I actually have bought a few on holiday but lots of places on the highstreet do them! My two favourite shops for these are essentials and accessorize! So have a little browse and mix with plain string bracelets too!


Sorry you can't see it properly but this is a miss malibu suncream set! It is pink which makes it much more up my street! I use this as a body lotion as you smell of coconuts all day! It is my favourite smell, it reminds me of holidays instantly! Close your eyes and breathe in the scent and you are transported to the carribean in seconds!! I LOVE this!!!

Anything from accessorize reminds me of summer! I could sspend all day in there! It just reminds me of holidays! There are gorgeous jewelled bikinis,flip flops, summer dresses,kaftans, sunglasses, hats and the most amazing jewellery! It is quite pricey but so worth it! I would love to spend hundreds in there, i would feel like a bond girl...hahaha! (in my dreams)!!! Definately the best shop to go in to make you feel all girly!!

Bright nail polish is a must to make you feel good! There are so many out there now, too many colours to choose from! These jessica polishes are the mini ones and they can range from £5-£9! Of course there are many cheaper nail varnishes out there, which do the job just as well! From markets you can dig out a few great colours for literally pence!!! A little trick i do is pick two colours of choice and paint each alternate toe a different colour, the big toe is the main colour and in my case, yes its usually pink!!!hahah!


Bronzer...well come rain or shine you can always create a healthy, sunkissed glow! There are loads out there but my favourite is sunshimmer by rimmel. It can be found in stores like superdrug and boots along with all the other products in the really fab range!! I like to buy a light and a dark shade! Applying the darker shade under the cheekbones and the lighter shimmer along the top and on apples of cheeks gives the illusion of well defined bone structure, which is always a bonus! The one in the picture above is quite a dark shade but it has stripes of light gold which tones it down alot when applied with a big fluffy brush! Remember as well you can always build the colour up so dont over do at first otherwise you will look like you have been on holiday to the surface of the sun for a month!!!lol!!!

Well these are a few of my favourite things! At silly o/ clock at night typing this post i feel like im ready to hike my suitcase down and start filling it with fun stuff ready for a vacation!! Oh well i will just have to go to bed in my house but pretend im in a holiday apartment!!!haha!! If you are going on holiday or if a miricle happens and we get a mini heatwave here remember to always protect your skin and wear sunscreen because looking like a lobster isn't a great look!! :)

Hope you like this post!!
