Summer, I think we'd all agree, is about the outdoors lifestyle, completely and utterly, a time to take advantage of the warm sunshine and whole host of social extravaganzas. But hot weather doesn't have to mean denim cut-offs and worn down flip-flops, no no, with help from a few favourite accessories, summer can be stylish.
A Picnic on the Beach
Whether it's a week away from it all, or just a hot afternoon where you can grab it, time spent on the coast is a must for any stylish sun-seeker, and what better way than with a few sandwiches to share around? Just because you're frolicking in the elements, however, doesn't mean you should neglect to accessorize. This rose pendant epitomizes casual chic and is easy as pie to slip off when you head for a dip!
A Garden BBQ
Ah BBQ's... they just make summer for me, and this is the kind of look that'll really stand out at any such shindig. A sweet summer dress paired with eye-catching wedges set off with this oversized flower bracelet. Perfection.A Tea Party in the Park
Dangerously twee and yet utterly irresistible, a tea party in the park should definately be on any girly-girl's agenda this summer (UK Lady Bloggers meet up anyone?) With a couple of flasks of sweet tea and a light cardigan as the festivities slip into twilight, a simple Alice band is all you need to round up this lovely look.A Glitzy Event
If you're lucky enough to be on the guest list to any rather swish affairs this season, then you've probably been obsessing over what you'll wear for weeks! Here's my idea for a sleek yet stand-out ensemble, with these glitter ball earrings providing just the right amount of sparkle!
And now for the really good bit, all four of these gorgeous statement accessories are up for grabs, courtesy of awesome online store The Original Doll.com. All four, I kid you not. All you need to do is...

I can't tell you how much fun I had with this. I don't get to spend a lot of money on clothes, so it was fun to design an outfit with things that don't just come from department stores! Even if I don't win this is time well spent imagining and pondering.

Picture the scene: Scorching white pebbles, azure sky, the sun gently warming you through to your bones, then effortlessly stepping into the night just by changing your shoes and necklace to sip on sparkly cocktails in a chic greek taverne....ahhh a greek holiday (I should work for a travel agent)xxx
