Everyone needs a good set of basic tees and vests in their wardrobe. I find a Stripy Breton, Grey Marl Tee, White Tee, White Vest and Long Sleeve Black Tee are timeless classics that always come in handy for everyday wear. My go to places for good quality basics are J-Crew, Whistles, Madewell (not so easy to get over here sadly), Boden and Hush.

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!
