Five Summer Must-Haves

Now that summer is finally showing its true colours, there are a few things a girl just can't go without!

1. A bright coloured lippy: Whether your a coral fan or love something even more quirky like a lilac, a bright coloured lipstick will brighten up any look for the summer. This is a look that can be worn day or night, and is perfect for that beach sexy style. Keep the rest of your make up fairly natural, with just some shimmery bronzer and mascara and let the lips do the talking…literally ;)

2. A cute clutch: Clutches are a must for the warmer months, theres no need to worry about lugging around a jacket, so you are free to keep your purse light. A cute clutch can make any outfit look chic and classy. I find that Colette by Colette Hayman always has really nice bags and clutches at a reasonable price.

3. Coconut smelling perfume: If you plan to hit the beach and then maybe head out for drinks later, a soft sweet perfume is the ultimate way to freshen up, but when the weather is muggy there is nothing worse than a heavy smelling fragrance. I'm a sucker for anything that smells like coconut as it reminds me of summer and being on a tropical island. My favourite picks for a beautiful coconut scent are Bronzed Goddess by Estèe Lauder $72.54 or Coconut Passion from Victoria's Secret $13.77. The Body Shop also has a really nice tropical body spray, Coconut Body Mist $23.95.

4. Bright coloured flats: Summer is the time for colour and my beautiful friend bought me some amazing bright orange jelly style flats a couple of months back...I literally cannot get enough of them. I also have a pair of bright yellow sandals that have rocking gold studs on the ankle band from Kookai, I have literally worn them to death and they make any outfit look funky. 

5. Nice nails: You may be a square nail kind of girl or maybe you prefer points, either way nice nails in the summer are a must. Both hands and toe nails look so much better if maintained neatly with a great splash of colour. I love any kind of pink, but purple or orange works great as well to brighten up any look… I guarantee you will score some compliments.
