This style challenge is one of the most important "shops" of the year, because lets face it, who does not want to look and feel fab when you are on holiday!

For me the Summer holiday is is one time of the year you are go a bit mad and wear lots of colour and bold prints, and be a bit more daring in your choices. (And this season there has been not shortage of this on the high street) 

The other key factor of the summer shop is cost, you don't want to have to spend lots and lots on 1 or 2 pieces you want to be able to get a lot for your money and still have change for a glass of Sangria when you arrive! 

So with that in mind, rather than try and put all my picks on one post, I decided to break it down into the main clothing sections, so you are not bombarded all at once! 

I have started with Skirts and Shorts, probably the 2 most important and versatile pieces of a holiday, as you are dress them up/down, with different tops to give you a completely different look. 

That is the secret to savvy holiday shopping- buying pieces that can be matched with other pieces to maximise your suitcase space and style! 


I hope you like my picks, and next week I will post my top holiday tops that will go perfectly with the styles above. 
So you will be armed and ready to hit the shops! Let me know how you get on.


I hope you are all looking forward to the Bank Holiday weekend? I can't wait, I am going to my Friend Rachel's Wedding tomorrow night and then spending the rest of the time catching up with friends and trying to get my training up for the Manchester 10K in a few weeks! ( but I will still find time for a cheeky visit round the shops too!)
