The Brand

ANDIÓN is a brand I've followed for a while and recently, I saw the collection in the flesh as part of a collaboration with Selfridges. Everything is made to order via their Instagram page – you select the fabric and shape from their archive, and they’ll send you a bespoke garment in four weeks. If you love vintage floral blouses, this one’s for you.

The Denim Shirt

Denim shirts are a key component in my wardrobe year-round. Double denim is an easy hack to make your look feel more on trend but, equally, they make a great a layering piece over t-shirts – especially when worn with a trench or blazer.

The Blazer 

If you make one investment this spring, make it a cream blazer – it’s the simplest way to add some polish and feel more confident. This linen double-breasted style from LVIR would look just as good with a pair of denim shorts as it would with smart tailored trousers and a ribbed vest.

The Summer Bag 

A basket bag is an easy way to channel that Jane Birkin French-girl vibe but sometimes you just want something a bit more polished. Cue Dragon Diffusion and their handmade woven bags…

The Jeans  

I’ve always been a fan of cropped jeans but this season I’m going with the trend for a longer, 70s-inspired, floor-skimming shape. The Lana from AGOLDE are the best around.

The Hat

Lack of Color has always led the way when it comes to stylish modern hats. I'll be wearing mine with linen tees and relaxed jeans for an effortless summer look.

The Dress

I’m not usually a fan of dresses, but I am partial to a black cotton style come summer. The exaggerated shape on the Rhode designs is super flattering – they add inches to your legs. The smocking detail on the Totême shape is really on trend this season, too.

The Jewellery

I recently discovered New York-based jewellery designer Anita Berisha and have fallen hard for her statement, but minimal pieces. She’s a perfect example of how to wear pearls in a modern way.

The Leather Bag

While the lemon shade of this style is very tempting, the cream Le Carré is the perfect leather crossbody bag for spring/summer.

The Shoes

I love dad sandals but let's be honest, they can be really ugly. The ba&sh Colette pair are the perfect amount of chunky, while the leather bows still feel feminine and flattering.
