Holliday/Summer Must Haves Part 1

My Holiday/Summer Must Haves Part 1

Everyone has different styles, but most of us love to stand out come Summer time and especially for are holiday. I have bought and seen a lot of must haves, but if I shown you them all then my blog post would be never ending. So I'll show you some of my favourite pieces that are on my must haves list.

This kaftan is from Select and is priced at £16, the patterns and colours caught my eye in the shop.
You can't see on the picture, but this kaftan has a split down the middle of it. This starts from the waist band and carries on all the way down. I spotted this in the shop today and it just popped out at me. I'd been looking for a long kaftan for my holiday and this stood out to me, I tried it on and fell in love with it. It feels very light and the bottom flows very nicely, the very short sleeves also drap over your shoulders. The split gave the kaftan abit of an edge and the patterns and colours put the perfect finishing touch to this kaftan, I bought it straight away and while i was on holiday i had many compliments about this iteam and people asking where they could purchase one.

Now this beautiful bikini is from Rocks Blue London, the top is priced at £19.99 and the bottoms are £9.99. This is part of Rocks Blue London Booster range, you may have seen this featured on a previous post before when I posted all about their bikinis. But this one if my favourite. You can never get enough of leopard print and this classic print is perfect on swimwear to get people looking at you. The booster is padded, but it's not hard on your boobs. It feels very comfy like a cushion and the best part is that it gives you a great lift and makes your cheat look perky and one or two sizes bigger, what's not to like. I packed this for my holiday and i felt more than comfortable wearing it while i was away. If it's comfort you want then i would recommend this for you.



This beautiful Alice floral jumpsuit is from Need That Look and is priced at £27.95. I'm really liking the off shoulder look a lot at the moment and this is bang on trend but with added brightness, I love the big colourful floral print on this jumpsuit. It's covered in bright colours which is perfect for the holiday season and all you need is some plain heels and simple accessories to make this full outfit work. This is fairly thick material and it's not at all thin fabric. So when the weather starts getting cold again in a few months, you could get this lovely jumpsuit back out of your wardrobe again for a night out on the town and still be cosy and warm. So this jumpsuit is brilliant for a lot of occasions, but it's on my must have list this Summer and holiday season.

Sorry I've not been blogging as much recently, just been on holiday and been unpacking. But I have got a fabulous new post for you. Say hello to Scruffy Lil Cat, their handpainted bags are just perfection.

This is my beautiful large canvas bag, prices at £45.

In all fairness hand printed bags are very popular now a days, with so many different companies trying to perfect the art and craft that goes into making them. But Scruffy Lil Cat are my absolute number one favourite for the perfect hand printed bag, they are unique and I haven't really seen a lot of companies come close to being as detailed and vibrant as there's. You can tell how much hard work goes into making and perfecting these pretty bags when you see them in person. They never looked rushed when being made and they all look unique in there own way. The prices on the jute bags all depend on the size of the bag and the sort of design you want. I have only just recently got my large jute bag and i've used it on two occasions so far and i have had so many compliments about my bag and people asking where they can get one from. I love all of Scruffy Lil Cat's products that they have to offer, but the hand painted large jute bag is a must have in my eyes and their beach range will no doubt be on my list for when i next go on holiday.

 They do many different styles and have also got a new Cutie range, here's an example.
The Cutie range is perfect for your little princess or prince, they range from bags for school and even mugs for you special one. I love the designs for the children, because they stand out to boys and girls. They do a great pirate design for the boys and their girl designs are fit for a princess, also their school essentials ex: PE bags and lunch box's are the perfect buy for back to school. Whether it's your little angel or cheeky monster they will certainly be chuffed with their new school gear.

Scruffy Lil Cat do jute bags, beach bags, towels, phone cases, cosmetic bags and so much more. 

Art and craft: 5/5
Price: 4/5
Originality: 5/5
