Style is where the heart is.: what will kayla be wearing this summer

ever since june hit, where i live has picked up in the weather. it's been so hot these past 3 days, i have literally been wearing shorts and lightweight t-shirts + still be sweating my guts up. due to this sudden heat change that's taken place, i have been influenced to make a summer essentials blog post.

my first essential has to be cooling mist, it will probably be the most useful item you can possess during these warm months as no matter how much liquid you consume it can never seem to cool you down a satisfactory amount, but a quick spritz of this over the face and you will feel instantly cool. i have seen many major brands release this poduct, evian being one of them but personally i go for the cheaper drugstore brand as they all do the same job in the end. i use beauty formulas.

sunglasses are the next important thing, protecting your eyes from the sun is very important as it could have life changing consequences but just because you have to wear them means you have to look cheap or trashy. there are plenty of stores that sell sunglasses at reasonable prices which look cute, summery and girly. the majority of my collection are from either primark or peacocks. for the summer months i love floral prints because it reflects the season but that's just a personal preference that differs entirely on the person.

a variety of shorts is always good as you will probably wear these more than you would skirts due to the fact their more practical for hanging out with friends, going to the beach and other daily activities. every high street or online retailer sell them in a variety of materials so experiment! prints, plains, denims, cottons, neutral, bright. the possibilities are endless. topshop have a good selection of quality shorts.

gladiator sandals come in so many different colours, styles and prices. they have embellishments, dimantes, decals... you name it, it probably has been applied to a gladiator somewhere in some way or another. they're a more comfortable alternative to flip-flops, how many times have you put on a pair of flip-flops and got blisters in between your toes? there are so many more styles of gladiator sandals than there are flip-flops and you don't have to suffer to wear them! here's a variety of different gladiator sandals available:

crochet seems to be all over the high street right now, so a cover-up is exactly what you need when the nights start cooling the air. although it's cold you don't want anything too heavy weighing you down! so this is the perfect thing to just throw on to keep your arms away from the chill. neutral colours are best to tie in with any outfit.
