My favourite jewellery of late is of the simple, bold, slightly oversized persuasion – the kind where just one piece will completely transform the most basic of tees, shirts or slip dresses.

One of my favourites?

Laura Lombardi.

Think: elegantly striking in a this-must-be expensive kind of way… that’s so wonderfully not 🙂

The in-between seasons can be tricky – it’s sunny and warm… then it gets cloudy… then it drizzles a little… then the sun comes out again.

Want to know what all the cool girls are wearing to (oh, so stylishly) combat these confusing times?

.OO. Sandals, lovingly made by hand in the Ibizan countryside (…naturally).

These handsome jute and leather styles will look equally great with your sun frocks and swimsuits as they will with your trench coats and wide leg pants…

Which of course also makes for great fashion-math, yes?

Hands up who loves shopping for a new swimsuit…

(cue: the sound of crickets)

If you, like me, find shopping for swimwear a little, well… torturous, then let me introduce you to one of my latest discoveries:

Maison du Maillot – Literal translation: The House of Swimwear.

Offering the most wonderful selection of swim and resort wear, this online boutique lets you plan your next seaside escape from the comfort of your laptop, 365 days a year.

As a stylist, I’ve leant that there are no hard and fast fashion rules – pretty much anything is possible with a little careful consideration from talented, creative sorts.

Case in point: Socks with Sandals.

A crazy (read: understandably much scorned) idea in theory BUT the Happy Sock HYSTERIA collection is looking so very right this season…

Reckon maybe you have some room for more ‘fashion socks’ in your life too?

We chatted recently about Belt Bags.

I’m happy to report that fashion is still crushing on this handsome accessory.

Look at the way it so selflessly cinches the waist whilst freeing up your hands.
