You absolutely cannot forget your iPod! On holiday an iPod is a necessity. It allows you to escape and relax with the perfect summer playlist. Whether you're listening to a playlist full of club anthems or you're the type of person who likes to sit back and enjoy the sound of chilled anthems. Or in my case, I like to escape the sound of screaming children and other annoyances whilst I relax on the beach.
Next is the iPad. I like to go on holiday to get away from the television and other electrical appliances that I spend hours on each day, I do like to take my iPad or laptop so that if I do get a bit bored I have something to keep me entertained. Not only does it keep you entertained what with access to music, films and games, but it also allows access to books (my summer read has been Anatomy of a Trend by Henrik Vejlgaard)
You've got your iPod and iPad, now you need a perfect set of headphones to listen to the perfect summer playlist that you spent hours putting together. My go to pair are Skullcandy Hesh 2 Black/Black. I've only had these about a year now but they were the best investment I've ever made. I like to get a pair that not only produces great sound but also are comfortable to wear, and these are the ones!
In terms of suncream, P20 is the best! You only need to apply it once and you are covered for the rest of the day. Its perfect for any skin and sure to protect you all day.
This summer I have been wearing a lot of orange and coral in terms of my nail varnish. This Gelly Barry M Nail Paint is perfect for summer. It bright and bold, and will go hand in hand with a golden tan.
When I have my nails done, the lips must be done up to. My favourite colour this summer is another Barry M product, and this time its a lip paint in Sunset. Just like the orange nail varnish, this shade will no doubt make your lips pop, and be sure to catch a few people's eye.
When it comes to a beach bag, I like to have one where I can see everything so that I'm not digging around trying to find what I want. And this plastic bag with matching purse is just what you need for a day at the beach or pool. This bag is from ASOS and is priced at £24 which is a great price. Not only will you be able to see everything, but the zip also prevents sand from getting everywhere, which is something I cannot stand!
I love to wear a good pair of sunglasses especially on the beach when you do a bit of stalking. I'm a people watcher and so a pair of sunglasses with dark lenses are perfect for me. Even though I live on a student budget and prefer not to splash the cash on expensive items, these Miu Miu glasses are to die for. This pair is priced at £185, which is not a bad price, but considering I live on a student budget are unfortunately not within my budget.
Every year I go to Marbella in Spain and its one of those destinations where you have to be on form in terms of your fashion as the rich flock to this city every season to party in style. A place that my family and I go to is Nikki Beach, which is ridiculously over-priced and full of bikini clad women where the men are constantly spraying champagne over one another. It's a real beach party. Because I go with my family, I tend not to be outrageous as some women there, but I do like to dress for the occasion. And so my bikini choice is this fringed dip-dye top with matching bottoms. This is priced at £32 and from Topshop. Not only at a decent price but sure to catch a few eyes.
Finally, a decent pair of flip flops. I like to throw on a pair of comfortable flip flops that will do for the beach and also look fashionable for those nights where you go straight from the beach to the restaurant. These black croc jelly sandals are from River Island and are priced at a bargain of £18. Stylish and affordable!
Even though summer is nearly over, there's still enough time to go away and enjoy the luxury of relaxing all day whilst looking the best and having the time of your life.
