Get your holiday wardrobe ready
Hey there, fellow sun-seekers and summer enthusiasts! Welcome to my sunny corner of the internet, where it’s all about embracing the longest day of the year and the season it opens the doors to. Are you ready to soak up the warmth and enjoy the extended daylight? I know I am!
Picture this: you’re in a foreign country, the air is filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the sound of waves crashing against sandy shores lingers in your ears. Ah, summer! It's the season to embark on thrilling adventures, create memories that will last a lifetime and enjoy those tan lines and that sea salt feeling on your skin. As the Solstice falls in the summer season, it's time to update your warm-weather wardrobe. To help you out, I've compiled a list of essential items you'll want to have ready to pack for your Summer holiday. We're already experiencing a heatwave here in the UK and trust me when I say that, if you are going to survive the increasing temperatures, you're going to want to do it in style.
Dresses
Great news: The must-have fashion item of the season is something you probably already have in your closet: a dress. That's right, if you own one (or several, like me), you're already on-trend. And when it comes to accessories, the answer is just as simple: sandals. This classic combination has been a summer staple for years and continues to reign supreme. Dress it up or down, this pairing is perfect for any summer occasion, from a casual picnic to a formal wedding.
If you're wondering what dresses would look better on your petite frame, look no further. I've sourced countless variations of petite Summer dresses this year so that you're sure to find the perfect look for you whether you opt for a voluminous maxi dress or a sleek fitted mini. Remember, you can never have too many summer dresses! When investing in new styles, choose breathable fabrics to stay cool and comfortable all season long.

Linen Skirts & Trousers
Linen, linen and more linen. Summer has spoken, and this natural fabric is taking over our wardrobes in the form of dresses, trousers, shirts, shorts and skirts. My favourite essentials for Summer? Linen trousers and maxi skirts!
Linen trousers and maxis bring a certain casual elegance to your summer outfits. Their relaxed, laid-back vibe effortlessly complements any style, whether you're going for a beachy boho look or a more refined and polished ensemble. Pair them with a simple white tee or a flowy blouse, and you'll exude that quintessential summer chicness that we all adore.
One of the best things about these pieces is their versatility. They seamlessly transition from day to night, making them the perfect choice for a jam-packed summer itinerary. Rock them with sandals and a floppy hat during the day as you explore markets or sip on refreshing drinks by the pool. Then, as the sun sets, swap your sandals for strappy heels and add some statement jewellery to elevate your look for a night out.
