Even though most of us have been forced to try and enjoy a British summer this year, we can still make the most of those beautiful days when they do pop up. So far, we've been relatively lucky with the weather, don't you think? So let's hope that August will treat us well and give us some more sunshine to brighten these sometimes difficult days. With that in mind, we think it's still important to treat ourselves to some new summer pieces here and there. And what better brand to treat yourself with than Powder..

Powder is the perfect combination of luxury and boho design to create vibrant, exciting products that will make you feel like you're on holiday in a tropical paradise somewhere.

We would have the whole range if we could, but we'll take you through some of our top must-haves starting with the large pineapple bags. These might just be your new best friend when it comes to beach days. They're big enough to fit all the essentials in, and look extremely glamorous whilst doing so. Practical and gorgeous? Yes please!

The large scarves are just perfect for wrapping into beautiful sarongs for beach days, or for draping over your shoulders for a lightweight cover up in the sun. Our favourite is the Tropical Birds print, which as the name suggests, encompasses all things tropical island.

It goes without saying that sunglasses are a summer essential, but the Powder ones are even better. Not only are they superbly designed in various colours and styles to suit everyone, they're brilliant quality and come in a sturdy case to keep them protected in your bag. It's a win win!

Now, after reading this you might be craving that holiday abroad even more, but make the most of any sunny days here in the UK and treat yourself to some of these gorgeous goodies and you've got something that's better than nothing!
