Crochet pieces for Summer

June 7, 2023

Crochet is this Summer’s biggest new fabric hit. Last summer I saw crochet start to trickle through into beach cover-up and matching sets for holidays, they are great pieces to dress up for evenings and dress down for daytime. But this year everyone is having a go at bringing this fabric upto date and giving it a new spin. My green matching set is from Mango and it is from their collaboration range with Simon Miller USA.

With so many pieces out there right now it’s hard to know what to choose and where to look. Everyone from Marks & Spencer to your Spanish retailers such as Zara and high end pieces from independents like Outdazl all have something to offer. See my picks below to help you find the best pieces for your Summer of crochet.

Crochet trousers Mango, £59.99 / Crochet top Mango, £59.99

The only skirt you need this season

February 2, 2023

Denim Midi or Maxi skirt

Last seen during the height of Sienna Miller’s boho era, get ready for the denim midi and maxi skirt to come back in 2023. It was a dominant presence on the runways of all the Spring/Summer shows, the denim skirt is looking like a serious contender for best in show. The denim maxi skirt promises versatility and, more notably for those who shied away from it's skin-baring counterpart the mini, lots of wearability. It has already made its way into lots of fashion influencers wardrobes so be prepared for the denim skirt to reign in this year.

One of its many attributes is that it can be worn trans seasonally. I wore this white denim midi skirt throughout Spring/Summer 2022 and have been styling it with thick tights and boots for Winter. It would also work well with knee high boots, thick jumpers and leather biker jackets.

Stripes are everywhere this season, see my blog post ‘Bold Spring stripes’ for more inspiration. But the stripe shirt is the wardrobe hero for this whole year.

NECK SCARVES

The newest accessory that you add to any outfit, but mainly with shirts as above, jumpsuits and to add styling detail to plain t-shirts and blazers.

CREAM /WHITE SHOES

Something that instantly updates your outfit and makes it look more Spring like are lighter coloured shoes. The trend for cream of white footwear has been growing for a while and this is a great time to invest in something that will also work through Autumn.

Denim is having a comeback, especially in shirts and dresses this season. Pair the shirts with smart trousers, skirts or hanging loose over vests.

What to wear on Christmas Day

December 13, 2021

This is always a dilemma for alot of Women out there and I often get asked; “What can I wear on Christmas Day?”. Lots of practical reasons will have an affect on what you wear on the big day; Are you cooking? Are you having guests? Do you go out for lunch? It also can be filled in family traditions, some people get really dressed up and others stay in their pyjamas all day chilling out grazing on cheese and chocolate. But this year more than ever it seems to be in the forefront of our minds, maybe because we were locked down last year so there was no need to make any effort, so this year people do.
