When Sue invited me to participate in her Summer Style Secrets series I got really excited. I love The Zhush and I find Sue an extremely stylish woman so I'm honored. 

I like summer, don't love it but it's nice to have a nit of heat, especially in London. I'll be honest, I don't have many summer secrets, oops! But I have a few. 

Beauty

- Chamomille: I left my hair grow to gain its natural color 4 years ago and now, I think, I can say it is 100% my color. I would be called a light brunette (ish?) not sure but in the summer I like to think I have some gold highlights and the way to go is chamomile, real one. I'm sure Baby Johnson also works though.

- Bare Escentuals Minerals: That's a year rounder. I like their foundation so much because it's light and I don't feel my pores are tampered.

- Moisturizer with SPF: Because we all should!

- For the beach: I love the oil free Piz Buin Spray. Banana Boat has the best after sun aloe vera gel. And I always try to carry my Cheery Carmex and Avene or Evian spray water, so good, especially in a  heat wave! 

Fashion

- Dresses all the way, any kind really, floaty and light are the best. I love bright prints but also solid coloured ones. I avoid black but it happens sometimes. 

- Cardigans: Yes because the office IS cold!

- Shorts: LOVE them!!

- Straw hats: they make me happy!

- Sunglasses

At Home

- Peonies, don't we all?

- Strawberries, with cream, orange juice or just like that

- White crisp bedlinen, a must for all year along but in the summer it looks even better!

- Refreshing juices and cocktails, bring it on!!

- BBQs, happy days! unfortunately living in the city it's complicated sometimes.

Thank you Sue! I love these posts!! Thanks for having me here xoxo

 Thanks Helena!
