Top Ten Summer Staples

Summer is just around the corner, believe it or not. You wouldn't think it if you live in the UK, but it is! Before you know it it's going to be May! How fast has this year gone? Really. Fast. This year I'm going on holiday to Bulgaria so I thought I'd do some online window shopping. Do you do this too? Or is it just me? I always put things into a basket and just laugh at the amount it all costs and then turn my laptop off. #PoorPeopleProblems.

I've put together a list of ten items which I think are NEEDED for the Summer. That's correct, need. Hahaha!

1. A simple playsuit.

When it's warm outside, I always just chuck on something that's easy to wear. Playsuits do this for me. Just one item of clothing and you're ready to hit the beach. I fell in love with this one from Missguided, it's £24.99 and has really cute crochet detailing. The sizes range from a UK6 to 14. Click here to buy.

2. A vibrant crop top.

Loud prints are always in style in the Summer. Summer is where you can wear any colours/patterns you want to! This crop top from River Island has a lovely palm print and the crop style would look perfect with high waisted shorts! This gorgeous tropical top is only £12! Click here to buy.

3. A cute backpack.

This style of bag is so easy to carry around with you in the day time. Especially if you're going on holiday this year, you should definitely invest in a backpack as they distribute weight evenly on your shoulders. This blue gingham one is from Topshop and retails for £34. Click here to buy.

4. Florals. 

Summer = florals. I'm not 100% sold on flowery patterns but I did come across this gorgeous playsuit from Daisy Street. The cage front detail really stood out to me and it really wants me to buy it! To make things even better, this playsuit is only £19.99!! Click here to buy.

5. Sunglasses.

We must all protect our eyes in the sunny weather! These ones are only £5.99 from Daisy Street and I will 100% be purchasing these before my holiday in June! Click here to buy.

6. Floral crowns.

If these don't shout out festival chic, I don't know what do! This style is my ultimate favourite. So cute and delicate! This lilac head crown retails for £9 from Dolly Bow Bow. Click here to buy.

7. Kimono.

I think everyone should own at least one of these. I sadly, don't, as of yet! I like this one from H&M as it is simple and would probably go with a lot of outfits. The price of this kimono is £29.99 and it has bead detailing. Click here to buy.

8. Denim shorts. 

Denim shorts, whether they are light, indigo, acid or a black wash. You need them! Denim shorts are essential for the Summer in my opinion. I found this pair from Miss Selfridge and love the lace hem! They are £35. Click here to buy.

9. Bikini.

Whatever body shape you are, you will find a bikini to compliment your type! Recently I've seen so many blogs, instagram accounts and Youtuber's raving about Triangl and oh. My. God. Every piece on that website is utterly perfect. This is the Miami Mint bikini and it retails for £47.12 (when converted from dollars.) Click here to buy.

10. Jelly shoes.

Again, everyone seems to be talking about jelly shoes. I'm not completely sold but I found these ones from New Look super cute. What's even better, is that they're only £9.99! Click here to buy.

Hope you've all enjoyed this post, what are your Summer staples this year?
