Summer Beach Style ~Wish List~

The sun is shining so even though I don’t have any holiday plans yet I can still look at bikinis and beach wear.

I usually go for black or strong colours but there are a lot of pastels and light colours on the high-street this year and hopefully I will embrace this trend on my next shopping trip!

I have been browsing the high street and the interweb to see what is available and come up with some possible looks.

RIVER ISLAND

My River Island look is nice and relaxed. Fringing is a big trend this season so I saw this white fringed beach dress. Add a pop of colour with a cute embellished pastel pink or yellow bikini, you can show off your beach body while keeping something for the imagination.

 

Sandals are kept flat as heels disappearing through the sand - not a good look.  At the same time you don’t want to burn your feet on the hot sand! These are not just for the beach either, wear every day with a maxi dress or some cropped jeans.

Accessorise

This is where you can add your own style, so I’ve gone for a harness, boho headdress and again our colour pop of pink tassel bracelets.

Sunglasses a must and a casual tote beach bag!!

ASOS.COM

Then I checked out asos.com and fell in love with this neon orange Forever Unqiue

 Vivienne Beach Tunic Kaftan, it’s a bit pricey at €301 so on the wish list! Plus this could be worn as an evening look too with a pair of heels!

Also spotted an embellished bikini in the same colour, though I would get one of the black bikinis or one pieces to go under the kaftan. I’m loving the embellished swimwear this season have to get some!

I also spotted this hooded one piece which is a bit different, a statement piece following the sports lux trend.

 
 
BOOHOO.COM

Next I checked out boohoo.com and found some great pieces like the orange maxi for €20. I also found a neon fringed bikini which I just love! Two trends in one; neon and fringing!! Pastel pink bikinis, embellished bikinis, the gold cut out halter bikini and some great aviator glasses!!

Accessory wise I found so much jewelry I need for the summer!!! A plain bikini can be brought to life with a long chain or a headpiece. Pop everything into your beach bag and you’re ready to go!

PENNEYS/PRIMARK

No shopping trip is complete without checking out Penneys/Primark. Unfortunately you cannot see all their products online but going shopping isn’t so bad. Just remember self-control!!!! Pretty much every trend is covered, prints from animal to Aztec, neons, fringing but my favourite is defiantly these blue hues. this kaftan is only €12 and the maxi only €9! Cute white shorts with crochet waist band €5 and bikini tops €7-9. (Also some lines are already on sale!!!)
 Penneys is one of the best places for getting on trend pieces (at pocket friendly prices) but I can go crazy and buy the whole shop!!!

 

There is so much out there this season so shop around. Trends from the catwalks, replicated on the high street, so shopping around can save you money.  Identify the trends you like then browse the trend online or in store before you purchase. Thus optimizing your summer wardrobe and ensuring your budget covers everything you need to be ready for the beach!!
