The recipe for the perfect Summer outfit? With today’s Summer essential you’re all good to go.
Let’s take a look!
Summer Essentials
My holiday to Barcelona is near. Just a few more weeks and my friend and I will explore the amazing city. We’ve sat together so many times to schedule everything and to pick out the greatest things to do. Our days are actually already fully planned, oops! Do you recognize this or are we the only one?
Another fun fact, is I can never travel without my big suitcase. So I need my hand-luggage and a big suitcase. Some people call me crazy: “You’re only going for a week!”. But in my opinion and case… I’m going for a week. And I’m a blogger. Which means: I need my things. I need different outfits. Daytime, night time, shooting time, the whole shebang. This doesn’t mean I can’t travel without it though (soon I’ll make an article about that one for Hunkemöller.com), but I don’t want too (and that’s something completely different)
SO. Back to Summer essentials. The first thing: a white tee. Preferably oversized.
I got this white tee with “Levis” on it. Just a simple white shirt, but you can combine it on so many ways! Combine it with some jewelry, a jeans, and you’re good to go. Which brings me to the second essential.
Jewelry. You can never go wrong with jewelry.
For this look, I’ve paired my outfit with two pieces: an all white watch from Guess watches and some vintage white earrings.
The third thing? A denim jacket. They come in all sorts, colors and sizes. I have like.. four denim jackets. One is oversized, the other one is dark colored, one is light colored and the one I’m wearing on the pictures is white/light colored, a bit cropped and distressed (looove distressed denim).
Fourth thing: jeans. I have so many jeans, because you can never have too many. Today’s jeans I call duo-penotti. I love the light ends, which also make your legs look longer. A different-looking jeans is one of the true summer essentials you can never go wrong with. Go fun and bold, life’s too short to wear boring clothes right 😉
Fifth thing: flipflops/slippers. These ones I got from Dolcis. They have an elastic band that holds them in place and feels soft between your toes.
Sixth thing: a bag! I got this bag from Valentino bags, which has a cute, but subtle flower print, which makes it also one of my favourite summer essentials. You should have three bags: a big one (when you go to the beach f.e.), a midi-one (during the day; for your camera and stuff), a small one (when you go out for dinner or to a club. Should be big enough for some pocket money and your phone)
Did I miss summer essentials ? Let me know!
Hi Goldie! I’m Charissa. Love wearing a cool pair of sneakers with a dress, a boyfriend jeans with crop top, oversized button down with a floral skirt, or a perfectly tailored blazer with boots. I’m a busy bee, also having my own PR Agency called Goldapple Agency. What I do? Helping conscious brands with a story to become a lovebrand.
I love these cool retro-looking photos! Your summer essentials are so on point. The white tee is definitely my favorite summer essential and Levi’s jeans too so your tee pretty much sums it up for me 🙂

Your outfit looks so comfy and perfect for travel. But for myself i’d rather switch jeans with shorts (cuz it is so hot in the summer in my place), but it depend on wether, of course 🙂 Have a nice week in Barcelona and look forward to see a post about that beautiful city 🙂
I’m all about white tees and graphic tees these days! I’ve been wearing them nonstop because of how hot it’s been. And I lovvvvveeee denim jackets too! I can’t live without mine. I want more, esp an oversized one!! Great tips babe!
You have such a cute outfit on! I love the vintage oversized tee and that Valentino bag is absolutely beautiful with the unique color and prints on it.

I actually just got back from an almost week in Orlando and I too packed a carry on and a large suitcase. I feel you on needing outfits because you’re a blogger. No need to be ashamed girl 😉

Niks fijners dan flipflops. Het absolute zomergevoel! Ik heb al jaren hetzelfde merk waar niemand meer op loopt, maar die zó lekker zitten…
I’ve been seeing that white Levi’s tee recently and it’s so cute! I love how you styled it with the jeans and the colorful cross body bag <3

I totally agree on the oversized white tee thing. I think it is one of the best go-to outfits. I have had a hard time finding the perfect tee though, and this one is a great suggestion!
I absolutely love your summer essentials! Definitely the white tee and jeans and really love your Guess watch and earrings!
Schitterende reportage!
Thanks hun!
Yeahh loving those too haha <3 thanks babe x
Oeh ja, dat is inderdaad ook een leuke!
Thanks girl!
All these items are definitely on my summer essentials list! I also think denim shorts should be added to the list as well. I wear shorts all throughout the summer! Cool post!!
My essentials are almost the same, instead of jeans I love wearing skirts and instead of flip flops sandals!
I’m loving this bag btw and I love how you pulled off this look. It has a bit of everything, a bit of casual, elegant and a bit of you! 😀
Much love,
Ana
Wauw, die tas is echt heel leuk!
Die t-shirts met brandname blijven gewoon tof! Ik heb er zelf eentje van Diesel op mijn wishlist staan.
