Alice McCall tank (dress version here), Glassons shorts, Karen Walker sunglasses With a wardrobe bursting with lace, breton stripes, and brightly colour soaked shorts, it would probably come as somewhat of a surprise that these cheap and cheerful broderie lace trimmed denim shorts have ranked among my few lasting favourites over the past few years. They’ve travelled halfway around the world with me and back, sailed across the Ionian and been left lying on the rocky cliffs of Santorini as I’ve jumped into the water for a dip. But with four summers proving to be just one too many and…
Lover daisy chain dress, Zara jacket (similar), Celine trio, Porselli ballet flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs katie bracelet In those few peaceful moments between arriving home from work, and summoning up the motivation to put together a meal, I’ve taken to following the movement of the sun, inching ever so slowly to avoid being caught in the shade.
