Straw Poll
Nothing says summer like straw and whether you are stay-cationing or heading abroad, a straw bag is the perfect way to finish off your ensemble – be that jeans and a jacket or an airy summer dress. A few summers ago it was all about the circular straw bag, but this season shopper styles reign […]
Gingham Style
It’s been a while – but here is my first summer blog and this week it’s all about gingham. This easy to wear print is a spring and summer perennial as it re-appears every season, and has done for the past few years. In fact, one of this year’s it dresses was none other than a square […]
