Summer 2012: On my Wishlisht

If you saw my guest post for Vsichko za Jenata (Everything for the Woman) a few days back, you will have noticed that I compiled a few of my favourite must-have items for the coming summer months. Well, here is something similar, only this time, the below items are definitely on my list to get before I officially start my holiday in 10 days time.

1. Cat Eye Sunnies - Retro chic and a must-have for this summer

2. Pastel yellow Jeans (or maybe mint green, pink...you get the idea) - Anything pastel-coloured is definitely top of my list this summer and coloured denim does just the trick

3. Straw Trilby - So chic and easy to throw on with a casual outfit, I don't know why I've never owned one of these before

4. Hi-Lo Dress - Dresses with variable lengths are going to be a hot trend for the summer and I fully intent to get my hands on one too! This grey/white one is the perfect neutral shade

5. Neon Necklace - I love this season's neon trend and I think that a statement necklace such as this one is a great way of embracing it. This particular one is from Zara

6. Capped Pumps - Another Zara staple which looks so chic and yet makes a statement. Really want to get my hands on a pair of these shoes, which would go perfectly with a cute evening dress

7. Half-Moon Nails - OK, not so much of an item as a trend which I've wanted to try for some time now, but have yet to find the perfect stickers to achieve the desired effect

8. Neon Pumps - Another neon moment. Ever since I saw Ashley from Ring My Bell in a similar pair, I've wanted something like them (and she really does wear them fabulously)

Guest post: Everything for the woman

Today on the blog, I have a very special guest blogger called Borislava. She and her friends run a very successful Facebook page and blog, called 'Everything for the Woman' or 'Всичко за Жената' in Bulgarian, and I liked the ideas that they post so much, that I thought I would ask Borislava to do a little post for Straight Up Style. 

First though, a little bit about 'Everything for the Woman' in Borislava's own words:

'I have always been interested in fashion and pretty girly things, but my profession is not connected with style at all, so it more a hobby of mine. It all started while I was studying for my final university exams in June 2011 - everyone knows that when you have to study you do everything else but the actual studying. I have a big photo collection and decided to share it with other girls, so I created the Facebook page and started posting. I never believed that so many girls will join the page. After the first month I realised that I will need more help keeping the page alive. After a while, two of my own friends joined to help me and we have been running the page ever since, until this month, when they left to take internships abroad. So for now I will try to keep up with the page and the blog (which we created several months ago) alone. The blog is a mixture of crafty and DIY ideas which we found online and various tutorials (hairstyle, nail art or interior design). It also features an "Outfit of the Day" column, in which we present an outfit we like from fashion bloggers all over the world'.

Borislava has put together three inspiration boards based around the 'boho' look, which I personally love and will definitely be trying out this summer. For more about 'Everything for the Woman', check out the Facebook page here, the blog here and you can follow them on Twitter: @vsichko_za_jena.
