Laser-cut Christopher Kane clutch £295/$530 exclusively at netaporter.com
It looks like neither my personal nor the fashion industry’s as a whole fascination with neon accessories is going to die down anytime soon. Christopher Kane just launched this clutch exclusively for netaporter.com and declared all other colours ‘so banal’ in the process. The flowery lace laser-cut design is in keeping with Kane’s current spring collection and will look absolutely stunning paired with nudes and neutrals, maybe a cropped trouser with this graphic Choo.
Zara Plaited Shopper

Zara plaited shopper £79.99
Aaaaand I’m back!
I saw this bag on Olivia Palermo a few days ago and then found it in Zara. It’s a really beautiful shopper for summer. You can’t really see it in this shot but the handles are plaited which is enough detail to make the bag look interesting while keeping things simple. Carry it as it is or tie a colourful scarf around the handle to add some extra personality. The item is available in three colours but I like that one best. It reminds me of a saddle and horses and it feels very classic without being stuffy or boring.
Not that I ever thought Zara was not good but recently I’ve loved them more and more!

White blazers in general and dinner jackets in particular seem to be everywhere these days. Funnily, they aren’t talked about that much in the press yet although they are perfect to dress up a summer dress or shorts for evenings. They even make for an interesting, dressed up but not pretentious day look worn with jeans und a nice tank top underneath. Add a bracelet, let your hair dry naturally and you’re good to go.
Many different brands make them at varying price points and I’ve decided to give you a round-up of my favourites:
Stella McCartney at stellamccartney.co.uk
Zara blazer with contrasting lapel at zara.com
Zara blazer with inverted lapel at zara.com
Zara Studio blazer at zara.com
