Bondi Sands Liquid Gold Gradual Tan – £13.99

I’m always on the look out for new tanning products, when you’re as pale as me, you need them! I’m never usually too keen on gradual tans, I’m too lazy to keep it up everyday and I hate feeling sticky all the time, but this one has changed my opinion a little. It’s a dry mist, not a cream, which is the thing that makes the difference and means it is super quick and easy to apply, and you barely even need to rub it in! It is clear when you apply it but it gives a fairly dark colour for a gradual, and it lasts quite a long time too. They also do this is a wear off tan which I am going to try next, so hopefully that will be as good, I’ll let you know!

Swimsuits

Bikinis are great for when you’re feeling good about yourself, and you’re looking to soak up the sun, but I feel like I’m about to die after lying in the sun for more than half an hour and sometimes its just nice to feel like you’re a bit more covered up, so I’ve been pretty thrilled to see full swimsuits back in fashion. This Topshop piece – £32, has been my favourite by far, but there’s literally soon many gorgeous choices out there, and it also means you can eat more food because you don’t feel like your bloated belly is hanging out, what’s not to love?!

Starbucks TEAVANA

Teavana is back for summer and I love it. It’s finally been hot enough to actually want an ice cold drink, and the green tea aspect makes me feel like I’m being a tiny bit healthier, even though in reality the small amount isn’t really making much difference. They are lower in calories than other Starbucks drinks though, and it’s not going to ruin your diet unless you’re drinking them everyday! The Blackberry Mojito Green Tea Lemonade is my favourite, but the peach is pretty good too 🙂

Yellow

Current season fave. I’ve never been a fan of yellow before, it tends to be a bit hit and miss when it’s ‘in fashion’ and some shades are a definite no no with my pale skin, but this year I feel like yellow has become a bit more mature. Rich honey and canary tones that are usually mainly seen in autumn palette are being used and the trend reaches from swimwear to sweaters, so if there’s on piece you’re going to buy – make it yellow! ASOS Cold Shoulder Cami – £18.

Holiday Snacks – HARIBO PEACHES WANTED

You know when you go on holiday and for some reason there’s just a few things that you can’t stop eating/drinking all week, and then that food will always remind you of that holiday? Yeah that. I went to Greece a couple of weeks ago and I basically lived off Lemon Fanta and Haribo Peaches, which I can’t seem to get anywhere back here in the UK and it’s making the holiday blues even worse, is a Haribo peach too much to ask for? Also missing my pancakes with melted nutella 😦

Slogan Tees

Another trend that I’ve never really been too keen on before, but all of a sudden I’m loving, is slogan t-shirts. Maybe I just prefer the actual slogans this time round, or the font, to the subtlety and size of the writing, actually I do just prefer all three, but it has a cute and feminine feel and it’s here to stay a little while longer, so why not?! And lets not even get started on the ‘FEMINIST’ t-shirt trend! The ‘QUEEN’ tee is just £10 from ASOS, and Missguided has also released a collaboration with Barbie today, which is literally just a slogan collection pretty much, check it out!
