We love summer (not that Ireland tends to see much of it) but there are usually a few fine days and never let it be said that we’re not prepared for the warmer months.
From kitting yourself out in a new season outfit to updating your beauty bag not to forget the all-important SPF of course, there’s a lot you can do to get summer ready.
We’ve put together a list of our must-have essentials which should get you in the summer mood in next to no time.
All this talk of summer has us pretty excited and we can almost feel the sand on our toes, hear the sound of the waves and taste fruity cocktails… bring on the holidays.
