As I gaze out of the window looking for inspiration for you today, I’m enormously underwhelmed by the grey rolling clouds, windswept trees and – is that a bird and cat huddling together for warmth?
Have you booked your summer holiday yet? I’m waiting for a last minute deal but I WILL see some sun, sea and sand before the British winter hits, I promise you!
So, all together, let’s close our eyes and picture ourselves in sunny climes, lounging on a sunbed with a mojito and a great book….there now, that’s better!
Of course, in weather like this, people often get to see the parts that our friends, colleagues and family members don’t, so make sure you’re deep cleansed, exfoliated, depilated and self tanned before you go!
If you have your navel pierced, now’s the time to splash out on someunusual jewellery, since your tummy will be on show and you’re not likely to have any rough material rubbing against you. I’ve put together a small collection, which shows how you can vary your look with body piercings, just as much as any other accessories.
Obviously, you will want to keep jewellery to a minimum whilst you’re lounging around on the beach or beside the pool, but that doesn’t mean you can’t glam up your outfit, just a little. I love these gorgeousanklets, which both help to elongate your legs and add a little sparkle to your beachwear.
You can find more of these pretty anklets on Seasonsonline but of course, as demand for them does soar in the summer months, you’d best get there quickly!
And finally, oversized sunnies are still “de rigeur”, but we’re seeing some fabulous smaller, 50s style shades coming through. Personally, I think the latter is much more flattering to someone with a small frame, and long face, as oversized sunnies can take over your features if you’re not careful! Here’s a small selection from Seasonsonline –which one is your favourite?
So girls – are our minds made up? Get ready to pack your sarongs and leave this dreadful British summer behind! All together now – we’re all going on a summer holiday, la la la…..!
