1. Luxique Swimwear - This company produces the most amaaaazing swimwear I have ever seen! The hand made unique pieces are pure glam and are a must have this year as you soak up the rays whether that be in the Caribbean or if your like me and haven't yet received the offer to get whisked away somewhere hot and sunny (Massive Hint to the better half), then of course they will look just as nice laid next to your local lido (also trying to convince myself here). The swimwear is definitely a head turner and would be perfect for a pool party or a day at Ocean Beach Club - I need a holiday *crying face*. I have to admit, I am not sure how practical the swimwear is in terms of swimming etc but who needs practical when you look like a gazillion dollars. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't wear it to the water park day out unless you want to look like a disco ball at the bottom of the water slide but I'm sure it would survive a paddle. At over £100, it would be an investment piece but it would be so so worth it.
Black Embellished Poolside Wear - £130.00
Blue embellished poolside wear - £140.00
(My absolute fav!)
2. B. Popping Candy Highlighting Serum - I've seen this little beauty in a few magazines this week as a summer must have. The B. Sweet Popping Candy Highlight (Please note: it is not actual popping candy) is a highlighting serum that aims to leave a beautiful glow on your skin. The reviews I've seen have been mostly positive as it suits a lighter skin tone - yay for me! - and is apparently very moisturising - always a plus. At £14.99, the serum seems a reasonable price and the perfect size to pop in your handbag, beach bag & clutch bag this summer so there's no excuse to not look flawless.
3. Clogs - Now I have to admit, when I saw these were making a comeback I thought I'd got pissed, travelled to Holland and rewound about 30 years. However, these ones from Topshop appear to be the perfect mix of clog and sandal to create a decent summer shoe that's on trend and practical (It goes without saying, in a normal pair of clogs, I reckon I'd fall over or lose my shoe approximately 34 times a day). They are available in tan or black and are only £28.00 which for Topshop is a pretty decent price. It's also good to remember, it's only likely to be sunny in England for about four days over the summer period so they can stay in your wardrobe for years until they come back in fashion in another 20 years so you can get plenty of use out of them.
HANOI Clog Sandals - £28.00
4. Fedora Hats - I've always been a bit dubious of hats as I've never been sure if they actually suit me or if I look like a paler version of Mrs Potato Head however its important I protect my little ginger scalp from sunburn so these Fedora Hats are perfect. My fav one so far is this black one from River Island. Although black attracts the sun etc, at £25, the colour will match most outfits so you can get your moneys worth.
Black metal trim Fedora hat - £25.00
Alternatively, they are also available at Primark from £4 in numerous colours so you can buy one for every day of the week! Tip: The straw effect version from Primark is best for the beach & gives a decent festival look!
Black Straw Fedora - £4.00 (What a bargain!)

I'm in love with the designs from Brazilian Bikini who do this lush set at £21.12. The tattoos give your outfit a boost without the worry of losing precious jewels whilst moshing to 1D (Just Kidding) and look great paired with beads and our fav festival bands we all keep on for 6 months afterwards!
6. Valentino Shell Crown - Whilst swotting up online on upcoming fashion trends (I know, I'm like a new woman) I spotted on Vogue this amazing Valentino Shell Crown which is set to be a hit this summer. Unfortunately, my bank account will not stretchatino to the £500 price tag so I'll just have to keep wishing on that one. However, I have been able to find this alternative from ASOS which is similar and will look just as cute on. The shell crown goes hand in hand with loose waves whether it be for a night out, beach day or a festival. Of course there is always the option to make your own shell crown if you're feeling creative - I think I'll leave it to Valentino.
7. Public Desire - CONSTANTLY have me lusting over their shoes. I often sit there dribbling over the sight of their new releases. Of course, everybody knows a woman can never have enough shoes which is why I've already caved and bought two pairs - oops. In my defence, due to working so hard at University, I was able to get 20% off so it was already a done deal. The whole collection on the website is bang on trend and so reasonably priced that it just gets harder and harder to resist. WARNING: using the link below is almost guaranteed to cost you money (But its soooo worth it)
So there we have it - my summer wishlist. If you have any of the above I am of course extremely jealous but let me know how you've got on and if you'd recommend? Now where is my lottery ticket?
