Summer Essentials

As the weather gets hotter, skin gets tanner, and school days gets shorter, summer is finally arriving. After a tedious winter the warm breeze in the atmosphere and a shining sun is utterly refreshing. Every year this glorified season rolls up unexpectedly, and we are left with nothing to wear. So here is a list of my personal essentials, to stay prepared for this summer.

1. Cami Top - Recently the cami has been a staple feature in every high street. Layered under a loose knit on a cool summers evening or paired with high waisted shorts, cami tops are a must-have for everyone this season.

2. The Perfect Sunnies - Sunglasses are a must in summer time, while the sun blazes down onto our defenceless eyes. I was recently gifted my dream sunnies, the Clubmaster's by Ray Ban. For a more in depth look into this seasons hottest shades check out this post!

3. Statement Skirts/ Shorts - A statement bottom can make and outfit come to life. Monochrome and stripes have been huge trends this year, combined into one they make the perfect bold piece to dress up or down.

4. Sandals - I cannot stress how important sandals are in the summer months. They are the quintessential shoe for summer. Be it heeled, flat, gladiator, or minimalistic, sandals are great for giving a look just the right amount of charm.

5. Bold Accessories - A neon necklace or a crazy pair of earrings are the best way to put together a simple t-shirt-and-jeans combo that we all have undoubtably worn during summer.

6. Summer Fragrance - In this day and age looking good doesn't cut it, you have to smell good too. So grab a light and flirty scent that fits perfectly to your summer wardrobe.

7. Bright Nails - Bright nails have forever been a summer staple. Every year I stock up on a bold red or an eye-catching neon to spruce up a boring look.

8. The Cross-Body - A cross-body hand bag is ideal for everyday wear. From the theme park to a candle lit dinner, small bags are totally the new black.

The Sweatshirt

Sweatshirts? Yes, sweatshirts. Once a garment only to be used on a cold winters evening curled up by the fireplace, sweatshirts have been totally reinvented. The look above showcases a look ideal for running errands, meeting friends, and of course, brunch. Who doesn't love to look ultra chic while feeling warm and cosy? Carry on the loose-fit silhouette into some destroyed boyfriend jeans or go for the skort option. Add glamour to the simplistic and casual look by pairing it with some cobalt blue sandals, to accentuate the blue in the embroidery on the sweatshirt, and a shiny chain necklace. Although this look might seem slightly done, or perhaps it is the skort that everyone and their mother have been wearing this season, it really is the epitome of sweatshirts in 2013. Sweatshirts have been totally transformed from a slouchy thing you throw on while you hang around the house to a must have street style item that a girl couldn't live without. 

What are your thoughts on sweatshirts? Would you splurge on a designer piece of lounge wear or stick to the high street?
