    It’s definitely time for a new summer wardrobe…

    When it comes to summer, we all love it. As much as we Brits talk about the weather, summer is generally the time we all embrace the heat with BBQ’s, trips to the park and casually sitting in a beer garden. After the winter chill has finally lifted and it’s time to take off the parkas, puffer jackets and wind breaker that have kept us warm for so long, it suddenly dawns on all of us…we need a new wardrobe.

    With summer 2014 fast approaching it’s time to pick key items that will keep us looking good, and feeling cool all summer long. From floral prints to tropical prints, dresses to shorts we all need a refresh come summer (and can we ever really have too many clothes?).

    Where to start? If you are going away, you need the essentials: bikini, sun dress, sandals and sun glasses and if you are staying home, you need a few bits to keep you going. Pastel colours are generally in every summer so you can’t go wrong here and mixing this with different prints will keep you on trend and looking good.

    Make sure to invest in a good pair of sandals (or two) and a pair of cork-heel wedges will allow you to take your new summer look from the day time to the night time. Make sure to choose a few killer accessories to lift your look while creating different outfits if you wear the clothes more than a couple of times.

    Summer dresses, Capri pants, shorts and a few light airy tops will keep you going when those heat waves finally hit and with 25% and free delivery from bonprix when you use the code: (99493) you can buy those few extra little pieces you really need like a summer bag and hair accessories.

    Make sure to enjoy the summer with family and friends and arrange things that will give you an excuse to show off your new clothes, shoes and accessories. British summers aren’t always that long, so be sure to make the most of it while you can!
