Fashion: Summer lovin'

Moontide's tripe stripes two piece and accessories.

The days are getting longer so it’s time to prep for the sun.

Some of us are getting quite excited about summer already.

For me, it's all about prepping yourself for the change of season - start with cleansing inside and out with a 1 Day Juice Cleanse from PHD and the ultimate body exfoliation ritual at East Day Spa - the Elemis Exotic Lime and Ginger Salt Glow.

It's also time to start prepping your body for the beach so check out The Line Up for a variety of personal training solutions. Samantha Bluemel is the force behind Move Eat Play. As well as personal training, she holds a Summer Booty Camp as she believes in the power of group training as a motivating tool to help you achieve your dreams. The next round of Summer Booty Camp starts Wednesday, October 29, in Western Park, Ponsonby.

Move Eat Play Summer Booty camp $35 per week.

Local swimwear giant Moontide's latest collection is absolutely fabulous and has options for every body type. The company is a long-standing expert in knowing how to make your body look good. Hats and sunglasses are a must - I love this nostalgic straw Spinning Top hat from WORLD which looks absolutely fabulous with these cerulean blue Pared Bread & Butter sunglasses.

Pared Bread & Butter Sunglasses $255

Feel good about yourself with a graphic towel from Citta Design knowing that $5 from every towel sold goes towards Sustainable Coastlines to help clean our beaches. Want a fashionable yet practical beach bag? You can't go past Deadly Ponies Mr Neo Porter which is made from neoprene. You can also pick up the matching drink bottle.

Finally, don't forget your sunblock no matter what you're doing outside. Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF 30 spray is ultra hydrating and enriched with Vitamin C and Neutrogena has just released its Ultra Sheer Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 30 which is ultra light and oil free to keep your skin blemish free.
