Heya...
Anybody panicking about what to pack for your week or two away?
Well, take a deep breath and relax!
Holidays are supposed to be relaxing and often there is just too much unnecassary stress when it comes to packing your bag with summery things which make you feel exotic and beachy, ready to proudly show off your gorgeous tan which you have painstakingly applied to look 'natural'.
Hopefully this little post will help you de-stress and de-panic when it comes to the ultimate challenge of squeezing the most amount of stuff in your bag without going over the limit! So here are my summer essentials:
Sunglasses
These bad boys are from Topshop and are perfect for a stylish finish to any outfit. Worn whilst sunbathing, they protect your eyes but also give the impression that you are on trend 24/7. I honestly could not tell you which sunnies are the most fashionable right now but these are the ones I wear and love the most!
Cute Hair Accessories
Scrunchies, flower crowns and headbands give a festival vibe to all outfits and really brighten up a plain old t-shirt and shorts. These are from the urban renewal section form Urban Outfitters and I love the daisy/sunflower ones as they are just so cute!
Day Bag
This is a 60s leather hand tooled bag from Beyond Retro! It is the perfect size to carry all essentials whilst site seeing and can also act as an evening bag as well! There are loads of styles of shoulder bags everywhere so make sure you grab one before you go away!
Sandals
Sandals are the ultimate summer staple so grab some before you go! These are white leather type ones from Topshop and are super comfy.
Perfume
A gorgeous scent like this will have you smelling summery and fresh all day! Honey by marc Jacobs is a beautiful scent and comes in a delightful bottle which will look great on the bathroom shelf!
Jewellery
Ear cuffs are a punky statement piece adding a grungy feeling to any outfit! They look great with long flowing dresses as the girly dress contrasts with the metallic sharpness of the design. This one is Urban Outfitters and is perfect!
Makeup
Choose your favourite eye palette and face palette and you are good to go! Don't forget your brushes though! The Urban Decay Naked Flushed palette is great as it had a highlighter, bronzer and blush in just one place and my Stila eye palette is perfect for every occasion.
These have been my summer essentials but what are yours?
