Alexandra's Summer Wish List

"I bought this for my recent trip to Italy and it’s a great alternative to a basket. It’s really big but lightweight so perfect for filling up for the plane journey, and doubles perfectly as a beach bag once you’re there."

"Do not be afraid of crochet shorts, these might be my favourite holiday piece! I wear them with a really oversized white linen shirt, keep everything else really simple and trust me, they look cool."

"I bought these as a stylish upgrade to my Birkenstocks and I can’t recommend them enough. They’re super comfortable, look really elevated and go with everything."

"A classic slip dress is a packing must-have because it’s so versatile. I’ll wear this in the evenings with barely there sandals and big earrings."

"I always pack a co-ord for holidays because you get 3 outfits in 1. I’ll wear this together, pair a ribbed tank with the shorts and team the shirt with a pair of denim shorts."

"I’ve really enjoyed re-discovering my tortoiseshell wayfarers this summer, they’re a classic for a reason!"

"Now that I have two kids I tend to go for one-pieces or bikinis with a high-waist, and I find the fabric of Hunza G styles to be really flattering."

"I’m obsessed with this new multi-purpose balm from CALC. I don’t usually wear much make-up but a swipe of this over my cheeks and lips gives me a welcome zhuzh."

"Crochet is a staple in my summer wardrobe, and this dress has been with me on many holidays. I’ll wear it for everything from a market stroll, over swimwear to the beach or dress it up for dinner."

"I still haven’t fully embraced silver jewellery but I’m tempted by a pair of two-tone earrings to ease me into the trend."
