Margaret Howell is one of my favorite designers/brands. I am crazy in love with this collection, probably my favorite for this season. The very strong sailor accents work wonders for summer clothes. No need for color, no need for print, no need for sky high platforms, with simple elements such as cropped trousers and t-strap flats this collection proves that less is more.
Every year I try to delay buying any swimwear as much as I can, but I end up missing the ones I really like. Something you wear ocassionaly for 3 months a year only does not seem like a priority and I always end up focusing on footwear or sunglasses. This year though I decided I would change that and hopefully get at least one good swimsuit. Unfortunately I usually don’t find what I like in stores so shopping online is a much better alternative. It is tricky though because I find swimwear is something you really need to try first! Since I already have a lovely one piece I went with a bikini this time to have some variety. I actually got the first bikini by 3.1 Phillip Lim. I actually love the simple design and it’s my favorite color so hopefully it’s a keeper.
Browsing online this is my selection of the best pieces available:
Bikinis: 1.navy by 3.1 Phillip Lim 2. high waisted by Rachel Comey 3. striped bikini Norma Kamali
One Piece: 1. striped by J Crew, 2. navy blue by Lanvin, 3.flower print by Bottega Venetta
Summer is soon approaching and that reminds me of my favorite summer item: sandals! I love flat sandals for summer they are so comfortable and can be paired with anything, they are easy garments that suit everyone. These are my favorites:
Rachel Comey ankle strap sandal, A.P.C wedge sandal and K Jacques Picon sandal
Ray-Ban sunglasses, Boy. by Band of Outsiders dress, Acne leather jacket, Robert Clergerie shoes, Celine bag, Chanel lipstick.
Ray-Ban sunglasses, striped shirt, Rag & Bone cardigan, Frame Denim jeans, Saint Laurent Paris loafers, The Row handbag
Ray-Ban sunglasses, Steven Alan blouse, Current/Elliott jeans, A.P.C cardigan and sandals, Celine bag.
