Ah alas, the UK has been hit with something that actually resembles a summer over the last month or so. We actually now know what that big, bright ball of gas is capable of.  (The answer is that it burns us little Brits to a crisp.)

And, with a hot summer comes a summer wardrobe. Yes, that means the big woolly jumpers have been put in to hibernation for the foreseeable future and out comes anything that allows our body to breath in this hot, hot heat! I’ll be honest, I’ve always loved the Autumn/Winter dressing season much more, our coats give us warm, winter hugs when we are cold, we don’t have to shave our pasty legs because our jeans keep us on lock down, and with winter layers, it gives us that option to keep warm or cool down; the possibilities are endless.

But I’m afraid this summer, our body temperature gages are just simply set at “boiling” regardless of whether we are wearing a swimming cozzie, shorts and a t-shirt or a little dress. So, with the best will in the world I’m desperately trying to spice up my summer wardrobe and I’m actually beginning to feel like I’m on to something now my body is slowly climatizing to the incessant heat and I’ve managed to find 4 style trends that I am loving this summer (that don’t make me melt like “Tobe-Le-Rone on the beach in Malta!)

Straw Bags

They’ve been in our wardrobe since the Spring/Summer of 2017 and I think it’s a style trend that is here to stay. They are every inch of sophistication that you need in a bag for when you’re jetting off to the South of France or Ibiza town. The diversity of styles on the market are never-ending. My go-to is my trusty round straw bag which can carry essentials such as my purse, phone, keys and even my camera with the 35mm lens on. It gives me summer holiday vibes all day long!

Linen Dresses

On holiday in France my linen dresses were my go-to. Every. Single. Time. They are unbelievably comfy and this bardot, button down dress is also pretty babin’ if you ask me. There’s something very sexy about a naked shoulder if you ask me and it doesn’t fail in making me feel pretty good. This River Island version is a size 12 and fits me perfectly, it’s true to size and I’m a 32FF bra, if you were any larger my suggestion would be that you’d need to size up. I’m worried that my wardrobe might be overflowing with this style of dress for next couple of months. Sorry bank balance!

Dainty Gold Jewellery

I am a bit of a sucker for dainty jewellery. Big, chunky necklaces don’t suit me at all. I think two or three minimal, layered up necklaces look so much more effective and give off that cool, boho style. The Semi Precious Gemstone Jewellery collection that Daisy London offer are beautiful pieces that even on their own make an outfit feel more special and in this heat, you don’t want to much around your neck!

Flatform Sandals

The perfect in between of a heel and a flat. The beloved “flatform” allows a little bit of height without ruining those in-steps. I’ve had this pair for a solid two years and always come out at this time of year! I especially love the tie-up laces, which make them even more interesting! They look great with most outfits, and who doesn’t need a pair of versatile shoes in their cupboard?
