Summer is here as all of you know and fun, light colours are more popular than ever. Here are my top ten must-haves:
1. Bright and Fun Nails
Fun nails are a must this season! Show off your perfectly done manicures and pedicures in a nice rockin' pink or seafoam green. Be bold and go for a nice sunshine yellow, and spread the summer lovin'.
2. Sunglasses
Ladies and gents, go get a pair of statement sunglasses! Don't be afraid to get colourful rims, like red or green. If you are more conservative, why not a pair of aviators?
3. Beach Hat
I just simply love those huge floppy sun hats! They are great for the beach, out with your friends, you name it. The hat is comfortable, chic and oh so cute. The wide brim will prevent you from getting nasty sunburns on your neck and face, and it just looks fabulous when paired with a swimsuit.
4. The Messy Braid
So hot this season, a nice long braid on the side of your neck as seen on Alexander Wang Runway. So chic, it'll look like you just came back from the beach everytime, and you will be the envy of all girls. If your hair is too short, opt for messy beach waves, they never go out of style. This can be achieved with a wide barrel curling iron, braiding of a salt/water spray.
5. A Patterned Dress
A flowy, light, and easy to travel with patterned summer dress is the way to go about this season! Floral patterns, graphic patterns, any pattern really, will make that summer dress all the more special and is great for those summer dates when it's just too hot to dress in your smokin' hot skinny jeans.
6. Sandals
The type of sandal doesn't matter, but personally I've been leaning toward gladiator sandals, considering i own a pair, and they look great with shorts, skirts and even dresses. they are really comfortable and easy to pack away for a vacation. a great alternative to the ol' flip flops. But don't go throwing out your flipflops now, they're still useful for the beach.
7. Swimsuit
I love shopping for swim suits! Patterned, plain, metal clasps, ties... etc. Make sure you have a great swim suit this summer, one that allows you to show off your assets to gain some attention. However, try not to go overboard, bare it all, or wear bandaids. Be mindful of your body shape when shopping for swimsuits and go shopping with your friends, they'll be brutally honest with you and you won't end up looking like a bimbo.
8. Big Tote Bag
The big canvas bag, useful in many ways. It's a great staple for going to the beach, you can fit everything and anything in these! I love the ones from L. L. Bean and decorating them to suit my personality.
9. Denium
Whether it be a vest, shorts, skirt or jeans, denium is a staple to all teens and we all have this unique ability to wear denium in 40°C weather and not die of heat stroke. :)
10. Ahoy Matey (Nautical)
Any sailor trend clothing was big in spring, and now even bigger in summer. The six button front sailor shorts are really hot for the sumemr wardrobe as well as stripes. Navy blue and white stirped dresses can be seen in multiple stores all across Canada as well as the traditional red and white shirts. I'm still looking for a red and white crop top, let me know if you find one ;)
Well, that's my take on this years summer trends, dont' forget to leave a comment :)

Its that time of year again, prepping for school. This year I've decided to live in rez, so this should be interesting! I never knew packing could be so hard! I have so much clothes (like WAY too much!) and I'm torn between what I need and what I want to bring! It's all going in one large suitcase and I just spent the last 4 hours with my friend packing, and unpacking until I've finally got the basics down. Shirts, and pants are done but there's still so much more left like bedding, textbooks, school supplies......and the list keeps on going! This is going to be one exhausting job!
