Summer essentials are the items that make your summer. Think sunglasses, maxi dress, that turquoise necklace that takes you right back to Amalfi coast… Without them my summer just wouldn’t feel the same.

My essential list tends to change a bit every year but in principle these are the items that I always pack with me and I couldn’t imagine a summer without them. I am eagerly waiting for the day I can wear them again!

 

This is my 2018 summer essentials list

 

1. Printed maxi-dress and a pretty handbag

Your sunhat is not big enough if you don't have to book an extra seat for it on a plane. This one is only my second biggest hat and can travel with one seat booking. #saturday #sunshine #imageconsulting #personalshopping #amsterdamstylist
