confession time i never really know what to wear in the summer i feel like it's quite a challenge
to look cute and feel comfortable at the same time in the heat so for a while i've been working on
building the perfect minimally summer wardrobe and i've been looking for stable pieces for the
hot days in this video i'll be sharing some of my summer essentials chanel espadrillles i wear these
shoes a lot in my videos so i'm sure you guys know i really enjoy them they are true to size at first
i thought about going half a size bigger because the leather felt quite stiff i'm glad i didn't
because they are really comfortable now and they fit me nicely but it did take me a few weeks to
break into them the only problem i have with these shoes now is i am terrified of being caught in the
rain so i religiously check the weather forecast before leaving the house loafers this video is
sponsored by vivaia seeing i really enjoy my loafers and espadrilles they very kindly send
me these nina loafers these will do absolutely fine in the rain in fact you can even wash them
in the washing machine they are so incredibly comfortable i actually couldn't believe how
comfortable they were fresh out from the box it feels like wearing gloves on your feet but better
i especially love the insoles they are made of yoga mat material which is why they feel so soft
and almost dreamy to the feet vivaia has also gone the extra mile by adding artemisia to the insoles
this ingredient works really well in preventing bacterial growth and therefore unpleasant smell
if your feet are a bit on the wider side like mine you will absolutely love these
loafers the material is so stretchy so it's really accommodating to feet of any shapes and sizes to
be honest i wasn't sure about what to expect when they told me these shoes were made of six recycled
plastic bottles but all i can say now is they look really cute and minimalist
they are comfortable to wear and they are also environmentally friendly so what's not to like?
hermes oran sandals these are the one and only pair of sandals in my designer shoe collection
they fit a little bit big so i recommend going half a size smaller
they look really cute with summer dresses but i'm not really sure if you really need
these because i think there are other cheaper and more comfortable options out there i'm
actually secretly looking at the birkenstocks i wouldn't say these oran sandals are uncomfortable
but the soles do feel a bit hard but i'm not sure if that's because i haven't properly broken
into them yet seeing we don't have the longest lasting summer here in the uk
straw hat this kayu straw hat is my staple summer accessory i think everyone should invest in a good
hat because this is the quickest way to look chic and give yourself that extra bit of sun protection
while i really love this straw hat i'm a bit reluctant to travel with it i now prefer to
travel light and you can imagine it's a bit tricky to pack this straw hat away without distorting it
this is why i added this uniqlo sun hat last year i wear this so much in the summer
this is like the best money i've spent in the last 10 years this hat is made of cotton which
i love because i can just throw it in the washing machine but still i can easily have it folded away
and it takes up no space so i can fit it in any of my bags and bring it everywhere with me
my two favorite bags for the summer are the balanciaga mini city
and the louis vuitton mini palm springs backpack when it's burning out there the last
thing i want to do is to carry the kitchen sink with me so mini handbags are my go-to
in the summer both these bags are very casual and chic and they go really well with my summer
outfits i usually prefer top handle bags but a shoulder strap is definitely a very
desirable feature when the heat makes my hands more sweaty than i would like
jimmy choo sunglasses i am a sunglasses lover so i do have a collection of them in the summer however
i tend to reach for these jimmy choos a lot i think they complement my face shape nicely
and i really like that the frames don't touch my face
this is always a bonus because we all know things can get a bit sticky when it's hot out there
i love this jumpsuit this is from a brand called passenger apparently they plant a tree for every
single order they receive i think that is such an amazing idea i have actually been looking for
a very casual jumpsuit for a while now and i think this one is perfect the material is very flowy and
light which is great for the summer and i think it looks quite flattering on me but what do you think
i have these uniqlo t-shirts in four different colors they make wonderful
building block pieces for the summer if you haven't tried these i highly recommend them
they are so airy thin soft and affordable i went to hong kong about four years ago
and it was so hot and humid there and i literally lived in these t-shirts the entire
trip when the weather is hot i like to wear these uniqlo airism wireless bras
these are my must-have items in the summer i really like that there's no buckle or wire
the bra is seamless and so smooth so it works really well under a thin t-shirt
the bra feels supportive but not restrictive or even suffocating like the normal wired bras
my sister recommended these to me a few years ago and i never looked back since
everlane shorts these are a staple in my closet i absolutely love them
first of all they are so simple and low-key secondly they are so comfy to wear as you can see
these come with an elastic waistband so it takes no time to put on or remove in my opinion these
are easily the most flattering shorts i've come across so i always reach for them in the summer i
have to include this everlane shirt because i wear so much in the summer the material is breathable
and is meant to be wrinkle resistant so it's really the ideal piece for the summer
tatcha blotting paper in the summer my nose can get a bit
oily so i always have these blotting papers with me
they are a bit pricey but they work so well and i can understand why this is an all time best seller
color science mineral sunscreen powder i put my sunscreen on every day but in the summer sun
protection is even more important if you hate sticky sunscreen you will love this sunscreen
powder with the soft brush you can pop up your sun protection anytime anywhere and not have to worry
about disturbing your makeup i really like this uniqlo uv protection parker this is a must-have
for me in the summer the material is really light and thin which is always helpful in the heat
but the best thing is the material can block up to 90 percent of uv rays apparently with this on your
skin will take 40 times longer to burn compared to bare skin i wear my sunscreen religiously anyway
but i like to put this on when i feel like i need that extra layer of sun protection this looks very
casual so i usually like to wear it when we go for a walk or just relax on the beach and if i
need to look a bit more polished but i still want the extra sun protection i'll go for this berlook
cover up i really enjoy the very relaxed and oversized look this is a very versatile piece
in my opinion it goes well with summer dresses shorts or even swimsuits the last one is this
silk mask one of my goals in 2022 is to wake up at 5 00 a.m every day so it means i have to go to bed
quite early in the summer however the sun goes down as late as 10 in the evening so this mask
really helps to block everything out plus it feels so soft and gentle on the skin which is
always a bonus so those are my minimalist summer staples if you have any recommendations please
make sure to share them down below also please let me know if you think it's easy to look cute
and put together in the summer until next week take care and i'll see you in the comment section
