Summer Must-Haves: My 5 Best Buys Of The Season | Bikinis & Passports

my 5 best buys this Summer.

This year, for this first time in a while, I’ve made it a point to put together a list of items I wanted for Summer. Since then, I’ve done a fairly good job at buying those items, and I have to say, I’ve made some pretty darn good purchases! While I try not to wear the same outfit for days in a row, I have no problem with wearing certain things over and over again, just styling them differently. This has definitely been the case with lots of pieces I recently bought, which is why I wanted to share my personal Summer must-haves and 5 best buys of the season with you guys today.

1. Lace Espadrilles: I purchased my first pair of lace espadrilles back in Fall of last year and then received this beautiful pair by Alsen from my friend Giorgio. These have literally gotten SO much wear, since I feel like the white lace is absolutely perfect for Summer!

2. Off-Shoulder Top: Big surprise, huh? You guys know how crazy I have been about everything off-shoulder recently, so this striped top is definitely one of my personal Summer must-haves. I love it paired casually with denim cut-offs, but it also looks great tucked into a pair of palazzo pants for a more elegant look.

3. Round Retro Sunnies: For some reason, it never even occurred to me to purchase round sunglasses. I’ve always loved to look on others, but thought it wouldn’t look as good on me. You’ll be the judge if they do or don’t suit me, but I definitely love my pair by Le Specs and have been wearing them non-stop.

4. White Summery Dress: One of my first purchases of the season was a summery dress. As I told you, I never really used to wear dresses, but wanted to change that this year. When it wasn’t as hot out, I wore it with some leather leggings during Spring, and now it is my favorite thing to throw on on weekends or for a day by the lake. Not to mention that it goes very well with my love for off-shoulder pieces!

5. Lace-Up Gladiator Sandals: Last but not least are my gladiator sandals. I think these lace-up sandals are an absolut staple for your closet and are perfect for Summer. I’m sure you’ve seen these around in all kinds of colors and styles, but I am head over heels for my pair by Schutz.

    Don’t we all love a happy ending? I, for sure, am a sucker for cheesy stories where everyone ends up happy. Without saying, the same goes for stories that involve myself, especially in combination with the endless hunt for a bag. I think I’ve mentioned the Valentino medium lock bag at least a dozen times here…

    1. Liebe Kate,

      das habe ich auf alle Fälle vor – hoffentlich erwische ich dann auch ein paar tolle Teile, die ich so sehr liebe wie diese 5 🙂

      1. Ach, bestimmt! Erinner mich noch gut an den letzten Herbst/Winter, da hast du die tollen Dior Ohrringe vorgestellt. Ich finde solche Posts sind immer eine tolle Möglichkeit sich im Dschungel der Trends zu orientieren, gerade wenn man auch nur ein bestimmtes Budget hat.

  1. Du hast die Must-Haves des Sommers schön zusammengefasst. So sehr ich mich auch bemühe, ich habe nicht hinter all meinen Sommer-Wanteds ein Häkchen. Mir fehlt noch ein Paar Espadrilles und ein hübsches, weißes Kleid. Leider hatte ich von letzterem schon viele an, doch bisher war nicht das perfekte dabei.
    Off Shoulder Tops und runde Sunnies sind bei mir auch eingezogen.

    Liebste Grüße

  2. da hast du echt tolle teile herausgsucht und bis auf die gladiator-sandalen stimm ich dir in allen punkten zu 🙂
    ich hab früher auch nie kleider getragen, aber seit ich angefangen habe zu arbeiten, und shorts im sommer im büro nicht so gut ankommen, hab ich an heißen tagen fast immer ein kleid an, am liebsten ein weißes.

  3. Sehr tolle Käufe und ich kann bei allen verstehen, warum sie es in diese Liste geschafft haben.
    Ich liebe dein Outfit mit der gestreiften Bluse und den tollen weiten Hosen und der coolen Brille 🙂 Ich finde, dass das Outfit farblich super schön zusammengestellt ist und auch zu dir gut passt 🙂
