There's always something to do every summer. Wether, it's a barbecue or a festival, you can never run out of things and places to go to. So, i decided to put together outfit ideas for these summer happenings. Check them out!
The place where i live wasn't blessed with a beach, but what we have are amazing, beautiful lakes! "A day at the lake" outfit is always present in my books. Grab your favorite swim top and rock short shorts. Lakes are sometimes windy, so make sure you bring a coverup, an oversized sheer tee screams laid-back beachy, scratch that, Lakey feel. =) I dont wear makeup if i'm near water, that's a no brainer. Wearing waterproof mascara to the beach, is a big NO NO, because salt water will eventually melt the mascara and it will all end up on your chin. BUT, lake water is NOT salt water, so a waterproof mascara is a big YAY for me, i like to play up my eyes even at the lake!
Your reliable flip flops will save your life when one of your friends decide he's gonna drive the boat like he's James Bond and you're swerving all over. I once went barefeet, and slid 'cause of the slippery boat. Plus you dont want to be barefeet when you're walking by the lake, our local lake has a big population of sea gulls, sooo yeah, bird poop everywhere!!
Lastly, I've just recently discovered Evian water spray. It was so hot this one day that i felt like my face was cracking (haha), luckily my friend needed to get something at the store, and i found this 'magical water mist'. Just spray it on your face, it's water, and it feels soo cool on the skin, it will relieve the heat right away.
Tip: dont bring your expensive digital cameras in the water! waterproof ones are still the go-to, you dont wana be fishing out your $400 camera out the lake at the end of the day.
Festivals Galore
Every summer in my city, the festivals are everywhere. We have this one where it showcases every single ethnic,race, and diversity in our province. In this huge park, tents as big as houses for every single country they represent, have products, performances and the best part FOOD in them. This is the time of the year, where i get to learn and experience the different cultures in my community, and it soo much fun!

Tuck in a sleveless plaid vest and add your fedora for sun protection. Dont forget your SPF! (for your lips+your skin), dust your skin with your fave bronzer (like NARS Laguna) for a healthy sun-kissed glow and you're gonna be looking festival-fab!
Pub Crawls
Pub Crawls are everywhere in the summer, a bus filled with partiers, going to different hotspots in town. Some clubs have dress codes, some do not. So make sure you get to go in all of them. Pick an outfit that will pass as casual and fancy but still keepin' it fresh and fun!Patios
There's a rooftop patio pub in my city that only opens every summer months. It has a mellow feel to it with wooden benches and brass,vintage firepits in the middle of the wooden benches. I like this place alot since it's not as rowdy as clubs.

I like this place alot since it's not as rowdy as clubs. This floral dress is perfect for a mellow night with good convos. The studded clogs puts a punch of edge to the outfit. Pull your hair into a messy bun adn throw in your gold hoops and you're good to go!
Barbecues
Me and my friends are suckers for barbecues! We have them as often as possible every summer. It's a good way to catch up, and to just be with my closest friends. We make smores, jump on the trampoline and eat burgers without feeling guilty. (LOL)

(LOL)This is an effortless outfit, but looks very put together. i love the tunic and bermuda because they just scream fresh and summery.Plus i could jump on the trampoline as much as i want without showing my Britney! haha Add in fun, but subtle accessories to complete the look.
Oh and dont forget your sunnies!!
So there you go. Hope they help and inspire you!
Tell me what you think and your plans for this summer!
