Your best summer buy 2018

[myusernameisnotmyusername]

Hi everyone,
Just thought it would be interesting and helpful to others to share best holiday/summer buys this year. Mine has to be the wrap swimsuit from Boden. It was recommended to me on here after I asked about swimsuits to flatter the tummy. I felt really worried about wearing swimwear on holiday and felt amazing in that swimsuit!

Mine was a pair of Levis denim shorts - have worn them so much.

Two things I’ve worn loads:

A yellow dress from H & M - bought in Palma, cheap as chips
A RVYN blue grey and white top from Shoreditch market

A white Linen top from Monsoon
A pair of blush wide leg trousers from new look.

Black Hush loose shirt dress.

Thin, navy, wide-legged trousers, reduced to £40 in LK Bennett. Wore them practically every day in the heat wave - cool, comfy, go with everything, don’t have to get my legs out! Properly chuffed with my bargain.

This raincoat from Zara. Despite the heatwave here, I went on two holidays where it rained incessantly. This kept me bone dry, and I felt stylish in it too. Best raincoat ever.

Tan leather bag from Amazon, it’s gone up by about £10 since I bought it. (See photo) I’ve used it every day for about s month, it’s a great size and is so useful.

Majorcan sandals in silver from TKMaxx (£16), which I’ve worn to restaurants, markets, the beach.

The flying squirrel jumpsuit

The most worn are some Uniqlo U range cotton canvass cropped trousers (strictly speaking an autumn buy but not really worn till this summer) a vintage heavy linen jacket from the 50s, and a linen shirt from a charity shop - brand label cut out but made in England and I would guess as M&S from back in the day.

Boyfriend light blue denim shorts from New Look have not been off my arse for more than 24hrs in the last 2 months!

Gah! I did wash them obviously 😂

I second the flying squirrel jumpsuit! In black with a neon yellow bandeau top.

Uniqlo wide leg Marimekko trousers - they were brilliant in the heatwave!

Aldo campodoro sandals, love them!

Izabel London skirt
uniqlo white schifli top
Sainsbury tu sandals

A pair of denim-y culottes from Jaeger which I picked up in a dress agency for £20. Incredibly flattering, could be dressed up or down, and very comfortable. Wore them everywhere from conferences to holiday.

Hush black shirt dress - I take the recommendation back! Just washed it and it's shrunk by about 3 inches!

I've got the Hush black shirt dress. I don't think it's shrunk, but it creases like a bastard. I do like it though - wore it with bare legs on holiday, and it should be good with black tights and boots in Autumn.

White to Brown fake tan. Not a hint of orange.

Levis shorts (got on the La redoute 50% deal so even better!)

this dress

This denim midi skirt. It can be dressed up or down and doesn't need ironing. I've worn it a few times a week all summer and live in a hot country so will get a couple more months of wear out of it too.

These Office sandals, comfiest ever I've had, good for walks but still stylish enough

An H&M red floral button down midi dress, wore many times, always cheers me up. Can still wear with leather jacket and boots for autumn.

H&M pair of black cotton shorts for 9 pounds. Always hated wearing shorts but gave in this holiday, they are so cool and comfy and go with everything.

Link fail, try again

Next boyfriend shorts. Extremely flattering on my just-the-wrong-side-of-curvy body and had to size down too which is always cheering.

A Zara leopard print midi skirt. I posted in here for advice, someone recommended it and I think about 5 of us ended up ordering it. It was a bargain in the sale at £20. I've worn it loads this summer and am wondering if it'll transition into autumn with tights, boots, jumper etc.
