My Wardrobe Diary
This week I moved my mirror outside to get better light, hence the slightly greener setting. The sunshine and warmth have been extraordinary, so it was a great excuse to enjoy being outdoors a bit more as I styled some summer looks.
This dress is my go-to when I’m working. Lightweight and easy, the shirt-style top looks smart on video calls, while the skirt has plenty of movement to be comfortable for wearing all day around the house. Team with trainers and a utility jacket to contrast the feminine polish of the dress.
The broderie of this cotton dress is particularly special, made bespoke just for us in two different scales: one larger and one smaller. By placing the larger scale on the body and the smaller scale on the sleeves and skirt, you create the right level of disguise and reveal. The separate slip underneath also has adjustable straps for practicality.
White denim feels so much fresher for summer. It also acts as a foil to a feminine, ditsy print blouse with lace trims. The perfect combination of smart and casual, this look moves seamlessly between work mode and weekend mode.
I prefer to keep the silhouette of this cotton dress laid-back, so have used the detachable tie to create interest at the neckline, experimenting with a pussybow for virtual drinks with friends as it dresses up the look, and a loose tie for a more pared-back look.

These joggers are crafted from incredibly lightweight silk, so feel lovely and cool yet luxe. I like juxtaposing a sporty shape like this with a feminine blouse like this one; it ensures I feel pulled together. I’m loving the pairing of yellow from the blazer with the tan of the trouser too.
This dress just says summer to me.
It’s looks like quite a statement piece, with the frill detailing and tiered skirt, but in fact it’s machine washable and completely crease-free, which imbues it with added functionality so you don’t have to worry about wearing it through a long day. The pop of colour courtesy of this cord blazer just makes me happy.

This strappy dress is how I’ll be getting my dose of vitamin D over the long weekend.The most effortless shape and soft cotton, I sense I’ll be living in this over summer (fingers crossed the sunny weather continues). This jacket is perfect for wearing with maxi dresses like this one as we were very particular about the length hitting you at just the right point to create the most flattering silhouette.
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of a jumpsuit.
It eliminates any time spent outfit planning; simply throw on and go. This new one is an update of our best-selling Feminine Cargo Jumpsuit, crafted from a denim-effect, cotton-tencel-blend fabric. The detailing like the gathers at the shoulder elevate it so that it can easily be dressed up later.

This blue geo print of this maxi dress has an air of the Mediterranean about it, reminiscent of holidays by the sea. I know it may be while before we can get away but this dress creates that holiday feeling at home.
