Dress & Other Stories
Nothing epitomises ‘Spring Summer’ like wearing a white dress. There is no better feeling than a white dress on a warm day with sun kissed skin. Cotton fabric is always my preference to help keep me as cool as possible and watch out for linings if the fabrics are lightweight or make sure you have some good nude undies!

As a fashion lover, I think trying to find your own sense of style is super important, something that for me has come with growing older and gaining a bit more confidence and understanding on what works on my body shape. I also think that finding some unique pieces will help make your style stand out that bit more. It’s always nice to discover new, creative design-led brands that deliver on style AND support an ethical or sustainable values.

For me I love a statement knit (puff sleeves, strong colours and bold patterns) or something quite classic (grey marl, funnel neck, Breton stripe) so I’ve included both in my little round up of my fave knit finds for 2019. I’m also loving all the fair isle designs, pattern clashing and ‘Stranger Things’ 80’s influence coming through.

Soft, lightweight cotton summery dresses and kaftans are one of the reasons I love holidays. It’s a bit of escapism from your everyday life and I love a relaxed, easy holiday style so much. I’ve been a fan of Dilli Grey for a while now. They are my go to brand for great, ethically made holiday pieces for me and my family. I love the light and airy fabrics, boho laid back vibe and pretty details that always capture the spirit of India and travelling.
