Just as the holiday season kicks off, and the sales are well in their prime; this is the perfect time to get your summer wardrobe sorted out.  Fashion editors are already working on winter trends and some on next year’s spring trends.  But what you should most fashion mortals be shopping for this summer?

Well the answer is really simple.  Don’t shop till you drop, instead shop wisely and buy things that you will be more than happy to wear next summer too.  Look out for designer bargains, Harrods, Selfridges, and Harvey Nichols have massive sales on, so don’t waste your time going around the high street trying to find £10 and £20 dresses, get down to fashionable Sloane Street or Bond Street and get yourself the bargain of the year.  Designer labels are always a step ahead, so what you buy this year will definitely be in next summer. 

If you want to look Hot his summer and the next one too; avoid falling into the fashion victim trap, follow what’s on my shopping list and you are guaranteed to look “More Hot than Not” this summer.
