Dreaming of a summer wardrobe and beaches far away..


I was lucky enough last week to be sent images of boohoo's new summer collection and therefore so are you as I get to share them!!

When I think of what I hope for from a summer wardrobe, I'm imagining bright neon's, clashes of floral's and prints, creative shapes, statement accessories and a bit of boho chic!!

And this is exactly what I found within the collection!

For the quality you're receiving boohoo is certainly purse friendly - unless you're wanting every item like me, then not so much..


When I'm planning for holidays and summer days spent at the beach, my first thought is of the bikini's I'll be wearing. Although some of the tan lines could be quite questionable, when I don't have time for sunbathing, I go for style. My personal favorite being the above right, the extra straps give a slight risque look without baring too much, perfect for anyone wanting a show stopping look on the beach.

I've always been looking for a kaftan but I've never found a print or colour that catches my eye. I always end up with plain black which is normally fine. But when I'm on holiday, I want an air of glamour to my look which I haven't been able to find, until this flash of lime caught my eye!
Definitely a piece to provoke kaftan envy!!



If you're use to layering up the accessories on a normal basis, there's no need to go bare - so to speak - for the beach. Hair accessories are so often over looked but a simple headband can be so practical yet stylish at the same time. Who can honestly say when they're at the beach running in and out of the water their hair doesn't go everywhere?!

Boho chic is prominent every summer with crochet and tassels being at the front of many collections. Its such an easy look to pull of, you get to look care free and relaxed without compromising on style. If you're not wanting to jump straight into this trend then a crochet waistcoat is one of the most versatile pieces to play with as it can be slipped over almost anything and looks fab!!




Flatform sandals are everywhere this season and they are the perfect choice for a adding a bit of extra height. If you want to avoid heels when the days are getting warmer then these are the way to go!!



This is the perfect day to night maxi dress, hitting three summer trends in one - neon bright's, print and embellishments - all you need is a quick swap of the shoes from flats to heels and you're ready to go from a day of sight seeing to a night of dancing, olé!



This outfit as a whole just excites me. A tailored two piece is top of my wish list and the fact this one is printed makes it all the better! Items like these in your wardrobe aren't just a one season love, they're perfect for brightening up a dreary winters day (let's not think about that yet).
Neon camisoles and heels again, should be a wardrobe staple, they add some extra oomph to your jeans and jacket combo. 



I've never hidden the fact that I am a lover of a floral crown and this one is no exception, the hues in the flowers are absolutely gorgeous (reminds me of raspberry ripple ice cream.. nope, only me..). I've heard many people say they think they're too dressy for everyday wear but I say that you couldn't be more wrong. I wear them with tea dresses or a band tee and Levi's, give it a try and you'll wonder why you never had before!! 


Thank you too boohoo for the exclusive and here's to long hot summer days and a fabulous wardrobe!!
