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.

The check dress will rule this Spring

March 16, 2021

Check dress are here to stay.

The last 12 months have proved a struggle to wear anything but loungewear, joggers, hoodies or activewear. Lots of women I know haven’t worn a dress the entire time, even in the Summer months so the thought of ‘dressing up’ in a dress might be either scary or exciting now that we are easing out of lockdown. I love wearing dresses, they are easy to throw on, versatile and can also brighten my day as what we wear has an impact in the way that we feel. I think with the easing of lockdown we will rediscover the joy of getting dressed again, projecting a more happier outlook with what we wear.

Check dress from &Other Stories - Tiered puff sleeve midi dress - £95

So if you want to buy a dress that makes you feel good and look stylish then start with looking at check prints. Whether you love a bold plaid or prefer a sunnier picnic blanket-inspired pattern, checks in all their guises are very much making a mark this season. From perfect smock dresses with equally on trend statement sleeves and oversized collars to neater more streamlined options and grunge-inspired shirt dresses, checks are making their mark for Spring 2021 after gathering some momentum last year through Scandinavian retailer Ganni.

But make sure you leave a small space in your wardrobe for a check dress, shop my picks below.

Christmas day style inspiration

December 10, 2020

There are some big question marks over Christmas this year, as office parties and group gatherings aren't on the cards, and the restrictions will make Christmas week look a little different than usual. December is usually a time for back-to-back socialising but after a difficult year, your family and friends bubble will be the most important thing about Christmas for many this year.

Seeing as we won't have parties to dress up for, one thing we can start thinking about is our Christmas Day outfits. Whether you'll be celebrating with Zoom calls or with friends and family at home, the below ensembles will make you feel a little special, whatever you have planned. People have very different ideas about what a Christmas Day outfit should look like. Some dress up in dresses and sequins, while others have a strict "pj's only" policy. Whatever your stance is on the December 25 dress code, I’ve got some outfit inspiration to suit every occasion.
