Romy Dress By Vivere
This beautifully cut denim dress is going to become my go-to piece of the summer. Perfect for warm days, it can be layered up when the weather inevitably misbehaves.
Arizona Big Buckle Birkenstocks
I also plan to invest in a new pair of Birkenstocks, which can’t be beaten as a summer shoe. These ones, with their swanky gold buckle, will look fab with my new dress.
Daria Sunglasses By Anine Bing
I’ll be accessorising with my new sunglasses from Anine Bing, which are easily the most commented upon item I own.

The Jacksons
Bonjour Beaches - Cobalt And Natural, £85
I am lusting after a raffia tote from The Jacksons Notting Hill store for summer beach days and, more realistically, to haul my life around in slightly more chic style. I have my eyes on ‘Bonjour Beaches’ for some fun, tongue-in-cheek word play.
Nancy, Editor
Maxie Dress Sunflower Yellow, £190
I adore this sartorial shot of sunshine from Clary & Peg, which is a dream for everything from a summer wedding to the beach. Versatility, after all, is always the joy of a really good summer dress.
The White Company
Textured Square Neck Swimsuit, £69
The White Company’s square-neck swimsuit is timeless, elegant and chic. I’d pair it with some oversized sunnies and a wide-brim straw hat for a classic Riviera look.
Aligne
Gabi Sleeveless Denim Halter Dress, £115
I love the easy chic of this halterneck cotton dress from Aligne, which is one of my favourite brands. It is exactly the thing for browsing farmers’ or flower markets through the sun-drenched idle days of summer.
Cutler & Gross
1407 Cat Eye Sunglasses, £395
A tangerine dream, these cat’s eye sunglasses are a knock-out.

Maison Hotel
Marisa Pant - Berenson Off White, £129
These Spanish-made linen trousers are absolute classics, as elegant with sandals as they are with trainers for insouciant summer style.
Flabelus
Beth, £80
The most stylish Venetian slippers in perfect two-tone green: yes please.
Free People
We The Free Sola Stud Belt, £48 – £58
Simply, this studded belt from Free People makes any outfit cooler.
Arabella
Me + Em
Cotton Textured Sculptural Sleeve Swing Coat, £495
I'm fed up of feeling cold this summer so I've been on the lookout for a summer coat. It's surprisingly hard to find one that's dressy enough for smart occasions. Me + Em has come to the rescue with this swing style coat which has a sculptural look to it. It's made out of Italian textured cotton with a soft inner lining and its colour ensures it goes with everything. My only fear is that I'd spill red wine down it or be hugged by a small child with chocolatey hands.
Viva Mari
Raincoat solid pale olive, £89
Without wanting to be a complete party pooper, the next item on my wish list is a waterproof raincoat Surprise, surprise, I've had enough of getting soaked, whether on the high street or walking my dog. This cape looks stylish wherever and whatever rain storm you find yourself in.
