Finally, summer is here and I for one love summertime fashion. The beautiful prints, the flowing materials and the most amazing accessories imaginable – summer is all about looking and feeling your best. Today I'll be styling up my must-have summer accessories from Laura Ashley. From bold and beautiful bags to dainty jewellery, dreamy scarves and cool blouses, this is your go-to guide for getting your summer look just right with the perfect accessories.

I am not your average twenty year old, and I'm okay with that. In this day and age, it can be hard to accept the fact that you're different and that you don't fit the mould of what society thinks you should be. According to the norms, I should be out drinking heavily each night, I should have a boyfriend by now and well, I shouldn't be the way I am....

There's so much talk on social media that revolves around getting a 'summer body', a 'beach body' or a 'bikini body'. But I call bullshit. Although I understand fully, the desire of wanting toned abs, lean thighs and an 'instagram worthy' body – it's just a trap. A trap to ensure we buy into the diet industry, and a trap to ensure we loath our bodies so much that we feel the need to alter and change them.
