Beach essentials

Summer is slowly (very slowly) approaching and the holiday shopping needs to be started! But how can we think about all the fabulous things we need to buy with miserable weather like this? I, like most of you, am dreaming of jetting off right now .. but in the mean time i'll have to preoccupy myself with summer purchases. Beach essentials? Absolutely necessary to look gorgeous. Here are vital items that need to be bought for those luxury beach trips whether you're going to the beach at home (maybe not in the UK ..) or going abroad, like me- these are recommended spends! I have picked out some high street labels and some designers labels and like I always say if you cannot afford the designer you are most likely to be able to find similar styles on the high street. Mix and match on your colours and choose lots of varieties. Summer means fun and fun is looking fabulous.
