Summer Lust List – Melissa Allen

Today, we’re featuring the summer lust list of Melissa Allen, otherwise known as “Miss Molly” 1) A fabulous Bikini I think it is important to try and find a bikini with the right print and colours to match your skin tone. Don’t go overboard with accessories, but a great sun hat with a cute trim will add to your beach look and will add to your benefit by protecting your face from the harsh sun rays! I recently purchased a fabulous bikini from Insight and a hat from Forever New. Sea Folly (Durban) is another great store to find amazing bikinis! 2) A good sun block I have an olive skin tone but would still sit in the sun for hours on end trying to go darker. I realised how harsh the sun is and how much damage it can cause after hearing about a good friends mum who was diagnosed with skin cancer on her chest. If you are planning on spending a day in the sun then a good sun block with the highest protection is essential.

Summer Lust Lists – Justine Stafford

Journalist and former magazine editor, now founder of the Aficionado Network as well as being a well respected fashion and style blogger, Justine Stafford shares her summer lust list with us. You can tell by her list that she not only has style, but she’s savvy and sensible choo too! 1. Missibaba Leather Laptop Sleeve A leather laptop sleeve from Missibaba’s new S/S 10 collection to protect my new love: an amazingly portable 11-inch laptop – perfect for carrying in my handbag! 2. A Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 My last digital camera broke and I need one on me all the time. This baby is tiny in size but big in performance with a super wide lens and large aperture which means it’s great for shots in low light – a dilemma I often face. 3. My indulgence: beautiful shoes Can’t stop thinking about these glitter-finish sandals from Jimmy Choo. Mmmn, they must be mine! Follow Justine on Twitter @ifor1 Want more lust lists?

My ipad “It’s so slim, portable and stylish, and I can pack my music and summer reads in one device and skype friends and family I won’t see from around the world. Plus catch up on any movies or magazines I’ve downloaded but haven’t had a chance to watch and shop online.” 2. A hydrating moisturiser with a built-in spf “Good skincare and great skin is non-negotiable – I like a light cream that doesn’t make my skin feel greasy, that also protects it from the sun. The more things one product can do effectively, the better. Loving the new ones from Shiseido and Estee Lauder” Editors Note: In our visual, we featured Estee Lauder Hydrationist 3. Colour Colour makes me happy, so if it’s not draped on my body, it’ll probably be on my toes.
