In a season where you could fry an egg on the pavement, it is difficult to keep cool while you are out and about. The solution?

This outfit.

SUMMER is here – yay! There is nothing quite like sun kissed shoulders, salt in your hair and long summer nights. It’s the time of year when life comes up for a breath of air and time somewhat stands relatively still. We reflect, spend time with loved ones, celebrate the year that was and gear up for the year ahead.

As we head into the summer months I thought I would put together a list of essentials that I live by to keep me cool and healthy!

There is no denying that the Saddle Bag is the IT bag of the season. The thing I love most about this style of bag is it’s versatility. With so many available options, you can gather a nice collection of colours and styles to inject your wardrobe.

 

Colour. Sometimes you just have to do it and do it all the way I say. My favourite ‘colour’ to wear is grey…..I can safely say I am a recovering neutral addict, BUT in this post I have shaken myself up and hopped on a rainbow train to colour-town.

I can honestly say there is something to be said about what happens to your mood when you wear colour. It’s uplifting, joyful and can turn a gloomy day into a bright one.

Now, I’m not saying I’ve let go of grey on grey on grey, forever, but it’s definitely given me a few more options in the wardrobe.

Confession. I’m not mad about summer fashion. I’m not a fan of getting my legs/skin/STOMACH out for the world to see. I’m never ready for that moment. Even with a spay tan and a good amount of filter on my pics, I just don’t seem to erhm…warm to the idea of the warmer months. Don’t get me wrong…I love me some sunshine and a folic at the beach, but can I wear my skinny jeans, biker boots and an oversized coat…and maybe a scarf?
