The Ultimate and Affordable Summer Wardrobe Wishlist...

Style Theory: Over the past few months I have been compiling my Summer wishlist, seeing all the fashionistas jetting off on their tropical holidays has given me inspiration for the key looks this Summer.  I have searched the high street for similar, all at affordable prices and now I have my own ultimate Summer wardrobe wishlist. It is slanted towards boho with fluid lines, a laid back vibe and comfort being key...
1. Asos Stripe Top £28
2. Warehouse Off The Shoulder Top £24
3. H&M Long Cotton Shirt £14.99
4. Topshop Denim Dress £45
5. Cabbage White 3 Star Bangle £95 and Star Earrings £55
6. Mango Ethnic Embroidered Bag £34.99
7. Mango Metallic Leather Espadrilles £39.99
8. Palmeiras De Menorca Nubuck sandals £40
9. Accessorize Tote Bag £24
10. Marysia Swimsuit £250
11. Levis 501 Shorts £45 

The first two tops 'cold shoulder tops' are the top-shape of the summer season. They will look amazing with the levis cut off shorts and Palmeira sandals or the gold espadrilles. In the evening wear with a denim skirt or ankle length jeans and heels or with loose wide legged trousers and flat sandals.

I love the idea of pulling on a cotton shirt over my bikini or swimsuit when going from beach to bar, wrap a tan belt around your waist for a flattering silhouette, slip on a pair pf Palmeira sandals and a hat and you will look the ultimate in beach chic.

A lightweight denim dress, always invaluable in the summer, I love the smock detail on this Topshop dress, very cute and will last you for a few seasons.

I have pushed the boat out a little for the swimsuit, I just absolutely adore this shape. It is slightly out of my price range so I will be looking to buy in the net a porter sale (if there are any left) or I will keep a look out for a similar shape on the high street.

When it comes to accessories, I love a slightly brighter clutch and beach bag, they add colour and interest to my summer wardrobe and distract from my not so toned legs and tummy!! I love the Mango clutch, would look fab with the white cold shoulder top , denim shorts and Palmeiras for a laid back evening look. I am a fan of delicate jewellery and Cabbage White are my idea of jewellery heaven. I love the delicate designs and the use of both gold and silver (I always mix the two) the star bangle and earrings are beautiful, as is the entire range, well worth checking out for something a little different, a little special and summer perfect! 

There are of course some extras to be added, some stand out, one off pieces that will add flair and a little difference to your summer wardrobe I will be featuring these next week. In the meantime I will leave you with a few sunny images from our little happy holiday places in Spain and a couple of looks for bank holiday Monday...and I will be dreaming of being there soon...


Do you have your Summer wardrobe already, what are your key pieces this year? As always I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, until next time Frances xx

  2. I tend to have a basic wardrobe of shorts and tees and add in a couple of pieces each year that give a nod to current trends. I do love those off the shoulder tops, and if I can find the right one I'm hoping to take it on my hols with me this year! My other must-have this year is a pair of tan gladiator sandals, but that's proving to be a much harder search than I thought it would be! xx
