Affordable Summertime Essentials

As we are midsummer and I know lots of people are going away on holiday or having a 'stayccation', I thought I'd share what my inexpensive summer essentials are so that if you're doing any last minute shopping you can stay on budget as I know not everyone can afford high end items. Nearly everything on this list is in the Sale so get ready to pounce!

The first essential for me is definitely these Ribbed Cami Tops from Topshop. I've been wearing their crop tops to death and so went back to Topshop in search for a slightly different style and colour and these are so inexpensive - only £6 each or 2 for £10. They're a basic so are easy to style and are very serene. You really can't go wrong, especially with such a variety of colours.

I certainly don't know much about beauty but I know when something looks good, lasts and is efficient. This Lip Butter by Collection fits the bill. I physically can't delve too much into detail because I haven't enough knowledge but I know that it's very build-able, easy to apply and the Vintage Rose shade is a lovely tint for the summertime.

The next essential for me are an item I bought several months ago and have worn a great deal of them for 3 reasons; comfort, practicality and style. They're the classic Slip-on Vans but with an avant-garde flourish. They're honestly so comfortable and go with everything and you can wear them everywhere - definitely worth the money. They are now on SALE at ASOS.

The final two go hand in hand and they are The Body Shop.... Rasberry Body Scrub & Body Butter.  They certainly live up to The Body Shop's reputation; they both leave your skin feeling incredibly soft and the smell stays for a long time. The Rasberry smells like Cherry Bakewells...but better. So if you're more into chocolate smells I highly recommend the Chocomania Body Butter & Body Scrub. These are all 50% off so if you buy the scrub and the body butter, you're getting 2 for the original price of 1.

Summery Day Out-fit!

Here's another addition to my Guess Shorts series! I wore this outfit a few days ago down to Cardiff Bay and so I thought I would share it with you, especially as I wore my vintage shorts.

It was a relatively hot day so this outfit was well suited for the weather as the crepe material of the cami and kimono was breathable, as well as the baggy-ness of the shorts - nothing was clinging on to me which is always great in warm weather!

A cami vest top is a staple piece for your wardrobe in Summer as it's lightweight and is easy to layer and match with! This one was from New Look last year and I just love the Royal Blue colour!

The kimono is a new item in my life and is also from New Look (their Summer collections are always great, I find!) The numerous colours in it make it so wearable and easy to pair with so many tops and bottoms! £19.99 which is fantastic as it's very nice quality - just the right thickness!

My shoes of choice were my Vans which I've had for so long (I think it's time to buy some new ones:P) but the colour matched my top and I wanted to be comfortable!

I love the way this outfit is put together as it has a mix of urban and my preferred floral and girly-girl look!
