Invest in...Summer Essentials

 This summer, the floral crown is back, bigger and better and more popular than before!

If you're not too keen on looking like you've shoved a full bouquet on your head, opt for subtle headbands like these ones from Pennys.

If you're a bit more daring, why not have a look on Boohoo.com who have a number of different styles in stock; ranging in size from subtle to statement. I love this rose crown they have, as it is simple enough to transition from daytime beachwear to evening, for example paired with a simple black maxi.

If you're really bold, then why not go to a discount store, or to Guiney's, and pick up some of their artificial flowers (which come in small bunches at €1.50 a pop) and make your own floral crown? You can be as eccentric as you wish and follow your own style and colour palettes.

This summer, rock out with loud shorts. Go for a high-rise pair; they're far more flirtatious and more flattering regardless of your body shape. 

If you're venturing outside of Ireland, at least one pair of patchwork denim is a necessity; come on girls - we won't be wearing much so making a statement through these summer staples is a must!

Check out Custom Vintage Dublin for bad-ass readymade pairs, place an order, or simply grab those scissors and scraps and fashion a pair yourself!

I've made pairs myself using old patterned pillowcases for the patches, as well as net curtain!


Now for the....slogan tee (the hipster's favourite)

Love this Henry Holland t-shirt! Dinosaurs are too fricken awesome. Shop the H! collections at Debenhams here.

I tend to keep my tees and tanks loose or oversized; you can play around with them more, whether you're tucking into high-waisted denims or leaving loose over a pair of superskinny's (superskinnies? last time I'll attempt colloquialisms...) 
Team with printed shorts for a playful, young summer roam around town.


Here are two great wardrobe additions for summer (on a student friendly budget obviously).
On the left; this reversible weekend tank from Front Row Shop, is just one of those tops which you could pull out of the mounds months on and wear again, as well as being a great tank to don while having a sneaky cider on a Saturday afternoon. (Any excuse!)

Above right; there's no denying that this tank from Awear will look ridiculously cool regardless of where you're spending your summer, be it at home or abroad.

 A big and bold trend which is still surfacing and seems to be pulling through summer is the flatform or creeper.
The style filtered into mainstream sales pretty fast last year, and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

I'm loving these Converse in white and black. Although strange enough to adjust to wearing; you'll find you will be that bit more conscious of your posture, as well as looking taller, straighter and fashion-forward.

The latest variation, like these Schuh buckled chunky heels, sees the chunkiness of the flatform combined with the femininity of the stiletto or platform heeled shoe. (click here to view these online!)

Find these and other styles at Schuh!


These are my summer essentials (clothing-wise anyways!).
Hope you guys liked it!
