The dress
I always invest in a new summer dress, and this linen bias cut khaki option works well with my work and travel wardrobe. You can wear it with or without a jacket - and I love the flattering horn buckle belt detail, to cinch in the waist.
The earrings
A statement hoop earring is bang on-trend. This option comes in silver or gold and is delicate enough to look classic while being ultra-versatile. Lightweight but large enough to make a statement - you will wear them every day.
The shorts
Move on from black and embrace colour when shopping for summer essentials. The soft coral shade and frill detail are both flattering and feminine, while the deep pockets hold all the essentials, my iPhone, credit card, and lipgloss.
The top
Worn with shorts for the weekend, or under a jacket nine to five, this sheer, self-check top with the flattering puff sleeve, will be one of the most versatile pieces you add to your wardrobe this summer.
The Shoe
Got-to-love a wedge for adding height and comfort to any fashion look. A staple worn with summery dresses, the flirty cotton ribbon detail adds elegance to what is an essential shoe this summer.
The jacket
The ideal neutral coloured blazer you can wear with jeans and a cami, or over a summer dress. The soft blush colour suits every skin tone - I promise this will be a keeper in your wardrobe for years to come.
The camisole
It’s become my go-to look with jeans and a blazer, this pretty cami gets plenty of wear, and has the potential to become the star of my outfit choices this summer.
The tote bag
Don't start January without a spacious tote bag. This wear-with-everything metallic finish in pretty rose gold works with my entire wardrobe and will take you from the beach to the shops with ease.
The bronzer
Buff on this luminous, yet matte bronzing powder to instantly warm up your skin. It's the fastest and safest way to sport a believable-looking tan. Available in two flattering shades, 001 Sunset Glow and pictured here 002 Sunrise Glow.
The fragrance
This musky, summery rose fragrance has a lemony bite, thanks to the blend of magnolia, jasmine, and oakmoss. It's an ideal refreshing scent to wear in the heat.
