Fields Of Gold









“You'll remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky as we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down among the fields of gold”
~ Sting

The scorching weather we've experienced in dear ol' Blighty this Summer should never mean that we have to suffer in the style stakes. Light, loose, breathable fabrics are the name of the game when temperatures soar, and this light-weight linen dress from Phase Eight ticks all the boxes.

A billowing, ivory dress with soft navy stripes, it features a turn-up detail on the short sleeves, and an open V-neckline. I paired it with a great pair of espadrilles by Spanish label Castañer. The iconic brand designed the very first wedge espadrilles for Yves Saint Laurent in the late '60s and the rest, as they say, is history.

The ‘Carina’ is one of Castañer’s signature styles; made from lightweight oatmeal canvas, they have soft taupe ties that wrap-around your ankle. They come in a cornucopia of other colours, and I already have my eye on a bright, vivid red pair. Comfy and elegant, the espadrille is a great summer shoe. They look fantastic with everything, from shorts, to maxis, to boyfriend jeans. This is the ideal laidback Summer outfit to keep me looking and feeling cool, whatever the temperature.

Rosy Outlook













“Feather light wings that float softly through the air tickled by specks of dust.
Bright white light inflamed with pink and laced with gold...”

This Summer has revisited one of my favourite 90s trends, the shorts suit, and Manley have come up with their very own, fantastic take on the look in their wonderful Spring/Summer ‘18 collection. Where do I even begin with this cute outfit; the feels are so real!

The top is classic Manley; made from the softest nappa leather, it comes in a soft shade of dusty pink, with a contrasting cuff trim in metallic leather. The simple design is effortlessly cool. The shorts, in the same pink metallic leather, have a sleek tailored look, and are a wardrobe must have.

I’ll be styling both of these pieces with countless other things in my wardrobe; picture the leather top with skinny jeans, with cut-off denim shorts, or a cute mini skirt. And imagine the tailored shorts paired with a crisp white shirt, or a retro rock n roll tee. I’ll be wearing them well into Autumn/Winter and beyond.
