child of summer

In my last post about summer clothing I covered summer florals, but flower-themed clothing isn't the only thing you can wear for summer.

Summer's also the perfect time for denim dresses. The Gem Chambray Shirt dress from Bec and Bridge and the Denim Tunic from Strummer (both via The Grand Social) can both be dressed up or down, and they're a great choice for a picnic or a day at the beach.

I love this photoshoot by Miles Aldridge for Vogue Italia. It's such a good mixture of bright pop and housewifery (found via the Nasty Gal blog) - great inspiration for summer!

I don't know what it is about this style (with the short train at the back of basics), but I'm really loving at the moment. It works really well with a basic style tee, or with a plain maxi dress, like the Ocean Grove maxi from Mod Cloth or the Flutter Frill dress by Arabella Ramsey (via The Grand Social).

Of course, it's not summer until you break out the denim mini! I love the pocket detailing on this one from the Cassette Society (via Black Not Black).

Another of my summer essentials is the floppy brim hat. Practical and cute, I tend to favour a brightly coloured ones, like this Catarzi felt hat (via ASOS).

Summer is a great time to break out the singlet tops again, and this Emma Printed Singlet from Twenty8Tweleve by S.Miller (via The Outnet) is a great example of what I like my summer singlets to be - cute and bright.
