Fitting with the #VoicesOfStyle campaign’s weekly theme of “My Style,” here are some of my favourite summer must-haves!
#1. Healthy, tasty, refreshing food! I love pairing a flavourful patty with lots of juicy fruit to start the day, especially when traveling!

#2. Easy jewelry is a must for summer. No one wants to struggle with clasps in this heat! These bangles are effortless and add instant shine to an office outfit.
#3. Smokey eye makeup and the proper brushes. Okay, this one is a year-round thing, but it’s important to have different brushes for different purposes. A base brush, a crease brush, and a liner brush for eyes, plus a contour brush and blush brush for cheeks.
#4. Nude heels!! These are my favourite new addition to my closet this summer.
#5. High waisted shorts and a crop top (an effortless summer uniform).
#6. Airy fairy seaside dress.
What are your favourite summer staples?

Alert, alert! High waisted shorts are making a comeback!
These particular shorts are from Topshop, and I got them three years ago while I was in London. If I wanted to go all hipster I’d say I was wearing these before they were cool - which I was - but I won’t. ;P I genuinely love high-waisted shorts and what they do to a girl’s figure, and I wouldn’t trade this gorgeous waistband for a low rise one, ever.
These guys running the games seemed to love my shorts too! :P
People looked at me like I was crazy for wearing these heels, but carnivals are just so much fun to photoshoot at! One photographer actually started following us around like a stalker. It’s a different story if he’d said hi or asked to take a pic, but he was hiding around the games and would start walking away when I looked at him, then point his camera at me when I turned away! Creeeeepy.
What I love about this outfit is that it’s so effortless. Just two pieces: a crop top and shorts, yet it looks so fun and flattering. It’s so comfortable and moveable, perfect for this hot summer weather.
So techies, what’s your opinion on the comeback of high-waisted shorts? Do you love ‘em like me or hate ‘em?
