5 Summer Must Haves!

Hey Gals! 
Seeing as though the sun has decided to show it's face in Britain this week I thought I'd post a summery-sun-fest list this week. So here's 5 things I can't live without it the Summer!

1). The Bodyshop's BB Cream- This BB cream is perfect for those sweltering summer days when you don't want something 'cakey' on your face. This thinner based product still provides very good coverage without you feeling like your face is melting. And with it being from The Bodyshop it isn't very expensive- usually around £8-£10 if I remember correctly.


2). A Backpack/Rucksack- In the Summer there's nothing I love more than stashing my backpack with a good book, a drink, my headphones and trekking off to some random field where I can waste the day away doing nothing. I particularly love this Backpack as it is full of many colours meaning it will go with almost anything and it certainly brightens up any outfit. I bought this a few years ago in a Boxing Day Sale at Accessorize. Although, you can't get this in Accessorize now, I know that they still do a wide range of beautiful backpacks at an average, reasonable price of £30-£40. It may seem a lot but these backpacks you will be able to pull out year after year and they will still look fantastically fashionable as the first time you wore it.



3). Summer Sandals (Birkenstocks & Jelly Shoes) - Ok so I am cheating a bit with this one as it's more of a group of things than one particular item. Of course, every year in Summer people get there toes out but this year I have been particularly loving Birkenstock Sandals and Jelly Shoes. I don't own a pair of original Birkenstock's although I have found that Primark are selling a range of 'similar' sandals. I have purchased 2 pairs of these (pictured below) and they are still as sassy as the originals.
However, if you're the type of person who likes to have the 'proper', 'original' version but doesn't like the 'original' price then I have noticed that TK Maxx (I believe it's called Homesense in the US) have been stocking up on them for almost half the RRP. This applies to JuJu jelly shoes aswell. I purchased my heeled jelly shoes from New Look when they did a flash summer sandal sale event. 





4). Bright Lipsticks- It's Summer, that means my bright lipstick collection has made another appearance. I have been loving Rimmel's Kate Moss lipstick in shade 110- a orangey red hue, as well as bright pink lipsticks and Bourjois's lip crayon in shade 03, orange punch.



5). Soap and Glory's Breakfast Scrub- And Finally this Body scrub is perfect all year round but it always feels particularly good to use a well-scented, well-working scrub in the Summer Months when you'll be showing off more skin tan usual. Mmm... I just love this scent. To me it smells like baking cookies or cake.




I hope you enjoyed this post let me know down below what your favourite Summer Products and accessories are, I'd love to here about them.
