We are officially in summer here in the UK, even though the weather doesn’t seem to be cooperating these days. This new season is all about bold prints, designs, and bright colours, which are great for fashion accessories. I like to grab a few stylish accessories every season, and summer is one of my favourite seasons when shopping for fashion accessories because there is more room to experiment in a way.

Also, the prints, colourful bags, scarves, cool sunglasses, and sunshine always have a way of getting me in the summer mood. If you are interested in updating your wardrobe with some stylish accessories this season, keep reading for some trendy ideas.

3 Top Fashion Accessories for Summer

Here are some stylish summery fashion accessories I currently have my eye on –

Silk scarves

When I think of stylish accessories, scarves are usually one of the first on my mind. I am a huge fan of silk scarves and always want to add more of them to my wardrobe. Scarves are a trusted summer accessory and have a way of finishing off a look nicely. The more detailed the scarf is, the more pretty it usually is. I like to have silk scarves in different prints, colours, and designs, to match different looks. Are you a fan of silk scarves?

Bags

Quality handbags are a great wardrobe investment. The more you spend on a handbag, the longer you have it around usually, so I like to splurge a little bit more on this fashion accessory. Investment bags are required all year round, and some of my favourite designers for handbags are Gucci, Stella McCartney, Michael Kors, Guess, and the like. Which is your favorite designer for bags?

Sunglasses

Another great fashion accessory to splurge on for summer is sunglasses. I like to have a few pairs around ready for sunny days. They always come in handy and there are usually loads of options to pick from. I love Miu Miu, Prada, and Swarovski for sunglasses. Their designs are usually right up my street! Are you into sunglasses too?

How to avoid fast fashion

April 22, 2022 By in Fashion Tags: , , , , , 2 Comments

Many of us may have come across the buzzword fast fashion but for those who are not sure what this phenomenon is all about, fast fashion is the process of creating huge amounts of cheap clothes that match the runaway styles. Most of these pieces do not look good for long and usually fall apart within a few months, which leads consumers to keep spending a lot of money buying cheap pieces and accessories. This cycle keeps repeating itself and it is terrible for your bank balance and even more terrible for the planet.

I like to spend a bit more money on my pieces, so they last for long periods of time. So fast fashion is definitely not for me, and I prefer quality over quantity any day. If you like to know how to avoid fast fashion, you are reading the right. I have some tried and tested tips for you below, so keep reading.

How to avoid fast fashion

Here are two stylish ways to help you avoid fast fashion and do more for your bank balance, wardrobe, and our amazing planet:

Keep your clothes well

If you spend time ensuring your clothes are well kept, they will thank you for it. You can have a dress for ten years and have it looking good every time you wear it. Storing your clothes in your wardrobe or in storage neatly helps them look good for years. Invest in quality hangers and spaces to prevent excessive wear and tear. Also, pay attention to the washing requirements of your garments to ensure they come out of the wash looking as good as new.

Invest in quality clothing and accessories

It is important you invest in the right clothing and accessories so they hang around for longer. Fast fashion is all about cheap quality items that hardly last beyond a season. If you want to avoid the trend, spend more on items that will stand the test of time. I hardly shop for clothes or accessories these days but when I do, I make sure I don’t shop in certain stores because of the quality of the items they sell. Quality is more important than quantity, so I look out for well-priced clothes and accessories that will look good for longer.

As you can from the two tips, avoiding fast fashion is quite easy. You just have to pay attention to the store you are shopping from, the price tag as well as the quality of what you are buying.

Style Icon: Kandi Burruss

The stunning Kandi Burrus is the Style Icon for this month of April. I have had my fashion eye on her since the second season of Real Housewives of Atlanta many years ago. Her personal style has evolved right in front of us and I am really digging her style. I think Kandi Burruss is an amazing Style Icon. If I was asked to describe her style in three words, they will be stylish, chic, and feminine. I am always eager to see Burruss on the red carpet or in her many reality series. She is always looking amazingly dressed. I am currently watching the new Kandi and The Gang series and I really like it. I find the storyline and the cast really entertaining.

Kandi Burrus always brings it when it comes to her fashion and style. Her pieces always look great on her, and her accessories are always on point! I love the fact that she sticks to her signature style and she makes it all look so effortless. Burruss shared some of her fashion tips with Bravo in an interview some days ago. Here is an excerpt of the interview –

“I’m into solids, solid colors” she told BravoTV.com. “I feel like we’re on TV so much and we can’t repeat anything. I like a good solid color.” For Kandi, the problem with prints and patterns is that they’re “one and done,” whereas an item in a solid color makes a better wardrobe workhouse: “If I do repeat it and mix it with something else, it’s not as noticeable.” She added: “[Solids] don’t go out of style as much.”

Kandi’s style tip is fab! A good solid colour always looks good and it works great with a mix of accessories to create different looks for various occasions.

What do you think of Kandi Burruss as a Style Icon? Are you a fan of her personal style? Do you watch Kandi and The Gang? Check out another housewive here.
