Beach to Bar Summer Fashion



Summer is the perfect time to spend your days at the beach, and evenings at your fav bar with delish summer cocktails... We make it easy for you this summer with these great wardrobe essentials that will look perfectly chic and in place both at the beach and bar!


With just a few makeup bag essentials and a clever accessory here and there, we will take you from boho beach babe, to slick and stylish cocktail chic in moments! 

Our basics..
So you need an outfit that does more than one thing? Let’s start with something that’s going to be easy to transform, shall we suggest the lush, everlasting style of the strapless dress?



1:
Ladakh dress $119.90 from Lippy
2: Helen sandal $149.99 from Moochi
3: Metallic Canvas loaf $115.00 from Neelear Nomad
 
From beach….
Yes, if push comes to shove the cute mini lengthened dress from Ladakh is more of a casual affair. The synthetic fabric won’t be harmed by the sun and sea, and when layered up with boho touches the entire outfit has a strong element of boho chic. I love to keep the beauty products simple at the beach with a really good lip gloss, and a great sunscreen. A soft and slouchy beach towel will protect delicate skin from hot sand, and act as an impromptu picnic blanket. Then at the end of the day of frivolity all you have to do is wrap your beach goodies in a towel and chuck in the car to be dealt with tomorrow.

9: Straw trilby $25.00 from Hatworx
10: Reinia Bohemium Print bikini $29.99 from Glassons

To cocktail…
You have just spent the entire day lazing in the sun, hitting the surf and sitting on the beach. All you need to finish that sun kissed skin is a little tinted moisturiser and bronzer. With our mini length dress, also add a swipe of bronzer to the calves to highlight your smooth legs (or have a quick shave if they aren’t so smooth). Add a belt to cinch in the dress and a glitzy necklace, spritz hair with salt spray for a bed head look and bask in your beachy glory!
