My shopping bag has been filled with summery delights recently. Lots of white, some boho print and pretty embroidery are all welcome additions to my wardrobe.
 |
| Dress £27.50 ( in the sale!), Mango |
First up this Aztec print dress from Mango. The print makes it a perfect holiday cover up, but the monochrome colourway ensures it's easy to wear when schleping around town with some simple black flat sandals.
 |
| Jeans £45, Topshop |
Remember my deliberations over the Topshop Mom jeans? Well I'm pleased I didn't commit to them as I tried on the Hayden style and they are so much better. The fit is boyfriend, the rips are slightly higher and I love them. My perfect white jean for summer.
 |
| Dress £95, Coast |
I was kindly given a voucher to spend in Coast when I attended their press day recently. Venturing into store I found this gorgeous dress with flirty cut-out shoulders. It's too dressy for wearing on a day to day basis, but I will be wearing it with a metallic sandal for evenings out.
 |
| Sequin Top £135, Whistles |
This has got to be the perfect sequin top, I adore it. It has side vents, a boxy shape and a double layer detail. I'll be dressing mine down for day with a ripped boyfriend jean or pairing with black skinny trousers for evening.
 |
| Denim Jacket £54.95, Gap |
The last time I wore a denim jacket was in the very late nineties and I'm ashamed to say it was customised with badges from Portabello Road and I cut the cuffs off (what was I thinking?) I won't be doing anything to this summer cover up from Gap. It's already proven very handy on my recent trip to South Africa keeping me warm in the evenings which were far chillier than I thought they were going to be. I went down a size and wear it with the cuffs rolled up not chopped off.
 |
| Embroidered Skirt £14.99, New Look |
And saving the best until last this skirt from New Look has got to be the bargain of the summer. In a heavy cotton with simple embroidery, it isn't too short, isn't sheer and isn't too skater style. I've worn mine already with a navy sweater and tan sandals and can't wait to wear it again.
