Spring and summer are said to be the favorite season for most people because you can dress up in plenty of ways. You can go simple and light for the daytime….and then bundle up but not feel to overpowered and cluttered at night. Shopping and a change of wardrobe in the summer is always fun to do. I like looking to fill up my summer wardrobe as the choices are a lot more fun, young and colorful. They make me feel so alive and they give my day an added push and vibrance.

So, for summer, here are some of my most recommended must have’s:

1. A pair of sexy espadrilles or those “light canvas shoe with a plaited fiber sole” as defined by Wikipedia:

I like wedges more than flat espadrilles because they’re a lot sexier and cuter with skirts, shorts or pants. This pair is a Steve Madden.

Casual and fresh, this espadrille sandal has a jute-wrapped wedge heel and platform, with thickly braided fabric straps adding a chic summer style. We love the gleaming gold buckle and flattering wrap-around ankle strap. Wear with a maxi skirt or shorts for a fun summer look.

2. Hot Pink Lip Gloss. You can get the cheaper drugstore finds like Revlon’s Colorburst or you can go with the more expensive kinds like NARS or MAC’s. Either way, bright pink is so fitting for summer.

3. Colorful Printed Bags. I’m currently crushing on Cath Kidston bags. These are available in the UK or the US website. I love their prints because they’re so feminine and speaks of spring and summer effortlessly.

4. Straw Hats. You definitely need this when at the beach or by the pool side. Department store finds are better because they don’t cost a lot and you will only use them for summer.
