THE 5 SUMMER TRENDS I LOVE// fashion

ALL THE THINGS I LOVE THIS SUMMER💿

Yes its the first week of June and it really feels like summer now, with the hot weather we are getting. I really am not fond of the heat, so for me it is important to be cool and comfortable.

Finding clothes that are comfortable and cool are crucial. Of course the looser the fit the better

and the type of material it is made of is another important factor.

The summer trends that work for me

The SLIP DRESS, YES!

The one nice thing about this is how easy to wear, light and comfortable a slip dress is.

I don't have to decide what top to wear with one, but also it is so easy to slip on!

If one does not like the satin look, then another style in a nice print perhaps a gingham or

another fabric, whether cotton or linen.

Keeping COOL in the summer is number 0NE!

SUN HATS and SUNSCREEN

We all know how important sunscreen is, it is a must! I also like the idea of a sunhat when out walking or sitting in the sun. (though I prefer the shade) it is really a great thing to wear,

and more then ever , now that the temperatures are rising every summer.

Also the selection of sunhats is a amazing, from extra wide brims, to smart looking panama hats.

there is something for everyone.

Get inspiration from Chanel.

NATURAL FABRICS

the only way to go , on a hot summer day a linen or cotton dress is really the most comfortable and cool outfit. Natural fabric and clothing are getting easier to find compared to before, much was made of polyester synthetic materials. I always liked the coolness of cotton the colours and prints of some really are what can make an outfit. Whether you like a dress with some crochet , or seersucker material. My pick is anything in cotton or linen will do.

SEASHELLS GALORE

the sea is a great place to be in the summer, and seashells are really HOT this season.

From bracelet to necklaces they are everywhere. It looks lovely worn with a simple sundress or shorts. Plus you don't really have to be so worried about losing it like a gold bracelet .

WICKER BAGS

the little wicker bag is BACK. Yes it returned this summer with even more gust. I love wicker and the lightness of the material. It really adds a lot to an outfit and is fun too. Not so formal .

We all know how that french girl got the fashion world hooked on the basket.

So definitely get yourself something in wicker, it will last your years and be so versatile. There are so many looks and styles to find.

So really now I am set for the summer heat - how about you?

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching.
