The Spring Edit 2022

It’s been a while since I last did an edit on here, but Spring feels like the perfect time for a come back! It’s all clothes, accessories and shoes will be a separate edit to be released in the next few weeks. The main themes for this spring are bold colours (don’t be afraid of them, embrace them!), layering basic tees, cut outs and floral dresses. There is a lot here, so grab yourself a cuppa (or something a little stronger) and happy shopping!

For those of you that are new around here, the Edit is divided into 3 categories, High Street, Treat and Luxury.

Remember if you need any specific styling advice for any of the pieces below or are interested in my wider styling services do get in touch.

“Cinderella is proof new shoes can change your life”

As the weather finally turns nicer (hooray!), this is the perfect edit, look no further to find your perfect pair of flat summer sandals to wear across your Summer day time wardrobe. As always there are high street, treat and luxury options available, I particularly love the selection in Mint Velvet this season, great prices and I have personally always found their shoes to be comfy and great quality.

Summer Blazers – The Edit

“A girl should be two things; classy and fabulous” Coco Chanel

You can not go wrong with a blazer in any season, in Summer they are a wardrobe essential, throw over a flowy, floral dress or team with a t shirt and white skinnies. Also a great way to add a pop of colour to your neutrals too.

My personal pick on this list are the ones from Fox London, I own a couple from there and I really do love the material, quality and fit for the price. There are plenty to choose from here so if you need any help narrowing down for your occasion or body size please get in touch.

Below I have picked my best of current high street, treat and luxury.

Favourite Independents for Jewellery

“Jewellery is the most transformative thing you can wear” Iris Apfel

And I couldn’t agree more!

If you want to read more on how your jewellery can change your outfit then please have a look at my blog “The Importance of Accessories“. Now, on to my favourite independents, I find that whilst they will be more expensive than high street fast fashion jewellery the cost per wear works out so much better. You can’t beat in investing in pieces you can restyle over and over again, and that are made with quality, bespoke design and love at their heart. Here are my top three favourites Soru Jewellery, The Jewel Jar and Heavenly Necklaces, I own pieces from all three so I first hand know their quality and beauty. Scroll down to see my favourite items from each independent store.
