It is officially Summer and the days are longer and the weather is feeling a little warmer. I know it’s controversial but I am definitely a winter person, so I am probably one of the few enjoying that it’s not too hot (yet anyway). Here are some of my favourite summer essentials I am enjoying right now from new launches to summer outfit essentials, scents and SPF.
SPF
SPF is so important all year round but during the summer we need a little extra protection. Here are a few of my favourites.
The best for kids – Heliocare Pediatrics Stick £24.99
Formulated for the delicate skin of babies and children and with a high level of protection, this is the easiest way to apply spf to your little one’s face. No more tantrums and my son even loves to apply it himself.
The Tinted spf – Sarah Chapman Skin Insurance SPF 50+ Tinted £69
The perfect combination of high protection with supercharged results leaving your skin looking dewy and fresh. It’s the ultimate second-skin finish and a warm glow.
For The Body – Oskia SPF Vitamin Body Milk £49
This lightweight mineral SPF 30 body oil offers protection without chemical sunscreens. It is also so soothing and the natural, marine-friendly formula has a delicious coconut fragrance.
Duck & Dry Chelsea, known as one of London’s best blow dry bars, has just had a relaunched in collaboration with Ukraine’s biggest salon chain Backstage Beauty who are renowned for their colour experts. The newly revamped location has not only had an upgrade with a new contemporary look featuring modern terrazzo tiles but is now also offering the complete service from colour and cut to makeup, brows and nails. Adding further excitement they have also launched London’s first colour specialists to determine your perfect hair colour based on your unique skin, hair and eye tones. Duck and Dry Chrlasea is the perfect salon to get your full treatment done in one place before your summer holiday.
Chelsea Peers Beach Print Co-ord Set Trousers and Shirt from £42
I am totally obsessed with Co-Ord sets and think they make for the perfect summer outfit. When it’s hot outside there really is nothing nicer than a light, easy outfit that makes you instantly look put together (while feeling like you’re in your pyjamas). Chelsea Peers do the sweetest prints and I am really loving this linen-blend beach print which is perfect for all occasions and will definitely be coming with me on holiday.
Nothing screams summer to me more than Superga’s. This classic trainer brand goes with everything and I live in them all summer as they are both breathable and super comfortable. Their kids trainers are also super cute, so I have started twinning with my little one, while I can.
My Top 3 Summer Scents
Skar Organic Ylang Ylang Scented Candle £32.50
The UKs first certified organic scented candle using certified beeswax, coconut oil, and a blend of 3 organic essential oils and they honestly smell amazing. I light alot of candles so its nice to find one that is both better for you and the environment.
Ostens Illumination Jasmine Scented Candle £65
One of my favourite brands, this scent will transport you to the perfect mediterranean evening. I love the smell of Jasmine and this is the perfect floral scent for summer
Molton Brown New Sunlit Clementine and Vetiver Collection from £25
This new scent by Molton Brown has been purposely created for your Summer state of made. The citrus-woody fragrance instantly transports you to rolling hills of ripe clementine trees with a smoky background. The perfect scent for a warm summer evening.
