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.

Luxury Bags – The Edit

“You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy handbags and that’s pretty much the same thing!”

I bought my first luxury handbag after my first big bonus from work (after doing all the sensible things like paying off my student loan and buying my first house!), but it genuinely meant so much to me, that feeling that I had worked hard, saved enough and now I could treat myself to something that was just for me. I chose a classic entry Louis Vuitton as that’s what my budget would allow. That’s definitely where my love affair with bags began, every one that I own has a memory, a story associated with it, and I wear each one with pride!

Below is a selection of beautiful bags, from classic options to statement pieces, my strong recommendation would be always to visit the store if you are buying as this is a huge part of the process and experience, luxury bags are so personal, so the below is just for inspiration purposes! Remember although they are expensive (and definitely only invest in one when financially it makes sense for you), you will have it for life and will wear over and over again. If you are buying a second hand luxury bag please be very careful as their are many fakes on the market, one of the places I would recommend to buy from is Sellier in Knightsbridge, they also have a fabulous Instagram page that I swoon over daily so definitely check them out.
