The beautiful things about summer are its long and languorous days, stretched out evenings and balmy nights. Plenty of opportunity to sparkle away the heat and cool temperatures down and we’re here with some chilled-out ideas for doing just that!

• Add colour and zing to your summer cocktails, freeze strawberries, cherries, sliced lemons, orange segments or phalsa berries in water as ice-cubes to add subtle flavour and pop colour to tall drinks.

• Thread fresh flowers into thin silver or gold hoops or hooks to wear as a single statement accessory, try mogra, orchid or frangipani blooms…the compliments are assured! Cool in the fridge before you wear them for an added refreshing touch.

• Drape a bandhini dupatta in wrap-around skirt style and pair it with a simple cotton white vest, summer style in a jiffy!

• Add discs of sliced sunshine-y citrus or fruit and a sprig of mint to your drinking water jug, voila! Instant cool pick-me-up aguas frescas with absolutely zero calories!

If it’s summer you might as well make the most of it, so enjoy each day of the endless summer and make it special with your own signature style!

Very warmly, Team99
