The best must have summer bags

In fashion summer is my least favourite when it comes to dressing but I do love a good summer bag, earrings or necklace. The bags are getting so much more fun and cute each year and so many brands focus just on these styles.

When Cult Gaia introduced the first arch basket bag the world went crazy and of course so many dupes appeared and since then they are one of my favourite brands when it comes to cute summer pieces. I feel the pearl shape bags like Jonathan Simkhai designed and all the sea inspired bags are just perfect to compliment summer outfits. So many of these bags would be also cute option for summer weddings.

Even if you wear a pair of jeans and white t-shirt or you actually decide to wear lovely evening maxi these bags are just complimenting the overall styling.

And then of course we have the practical larger basket bags. I have Celine basket bag and I feel it will always be relevant as it is simple and large enough to throw in whatever I need for beach. However I also use it in town. I am so now in love with this new Celine model. It is slightly different and looks so chic.

I wanted to bring a cute edit of the best bags from affordable to more expensive and I hope you will find your winner.

Wedding guest outfit ideas for spring summer

Who is ready for big wedding season? With spring summer coming we have also season of wedding. Of course there are many people that love a winter wedding however summer is when it is all happening isn’t it?

So how would you chose your wedding dress outfit? I would suggest always start with the type of wedding. How large is the wedding, is there perhaps a dress code? Does the invitation say to wear or not to wear certain colour? Of course a safe option is always to ask. If I was not sure in the past or my dress was very light pastel colour that may evoke a wedding dress I have always asked the bride.

You will of course chose a different outfit for a low key beach wedding or small city wedding to a large wedding in a hotel. These all have certain vibe and I suggest to do research on the place and maybe look on social media if you can find some inspiration.

And the next key thing is that you need to feel good. You will spend a full day or night in this dress. You want to feel million dollars but you don’t want to out stage the bride and you want to feel comfortable. Your dress should fit. If you do not like your arms or certain type of body think what will make you feel good.

I personally do not like dresses that would not allow me to enjoy all the food. In general a cocktail dress, gown or a cute maxi is always a good option. And I decided to bring you mixture of these to explore.

Top jewellery items to wear this summer

Top jewellery items to wear this summer

Are you so excited for summer as I am? To give full transparency summer style is my least favourite as when it gets too hot you can wear bikini or very light fabric dresses and you still feel like you are hot. However summer jewellery game is always strong.

Certain pieces when it comes to jewellery can really make or break the outfit and I find it so fun to wear summer style models. I believe pearl is all year kind of thing but it has special vibe in the summer. Imagine sun kissed skin and the pearl beauties just decorating to create a stunning contrast. There are so many breathtaking designs and I love creating layers with necklaces or bracelets. I feel pearl style earrings are also fabulous.

Then I am always loving sea themed jewellery so think star fish, shells, stones and so much more. Even a simple white T and jeans just instantly gets a summer vibe with cute shell earrings and we just know we are in the summer season.

I have selected some of the cutest pieces from very affordable to more expensive as there are so many fantastic items in the market.

Must have at home beauty tools

Must have at home beauty tools

When it comes to beauty over the years I have personally found it very useful to find home alternatives to salon treatments. Yes i still love to attend salons but in between family life, children, work it is so hard to find the time whilst at home you just grab the tool when you have few minutes and make it do it’s magic.

These really make our lives so much easier and if you want a proper pamper then book that salon appointment of course. I believe consistency is key in everything so as with most of things in life it counts with beauty tools as well. No point investing if you gonna leave it on the shelf just to catch the dust on.

My go to is 100 % the Currentbody LED mask I have the part for the neck and it is an incredible tool to have. I also have discount code EVA15 in case you would like to try yourself. My second favourite is ZIIP HALO which is a dual wavelength technology device and you can also use discount code EVAZIIP. A friend of my recently purchased the Dermalux Flex as per her doctor recommendation to battle her eczema and you can also use my code EVAFLEX to get some discount. The Lyma laser facial has been going super viral and omg what a dream tool to have.

If you are more at home facial kind of girl I would definitely recommend to invest in a steamer and also derma roller or derma pen. And if you want to keep things simple and easy start is definitely to invest in rollers. I find it so soothing just massaging my face with cold roller whilst watching favourite TV show.
