### *Can you recommend any office-appropriate flats?* 

Woven leather styles are everywhere this summer. Offering a more elevated take on mesh flats, they’re a great option for the office. There are lots to choose from, but I really like this dark coloured pair from [Massimo Dutti](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=50312&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.massimodutti.com%2Fgb%2Fbrown-braided-leather-ballet-flats-l11566350). Look out for buckle details, too.

### *My hen do is in Ibiza this September, and I need a chic, fashion-forward outfit that doesn’t scream ‘bridal’…*

There are so many pieces out there that would work for this. A swimsuit that just nods to bridal would be chic – I’m loving flower appliqués and ruffles. A fun bag is a must, too – I saw this [Zara one](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=32887&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zara.com%2Fuk%2Fen%2Fmini-basket-with-sequins-p16523310.html), which is perfect for a hen do abroad. Something in raffia won’t scream bridal either – I like this frayed design by [J. Crew](https://www.jcrew.com/uk/p/womens/categories/accessories/bags/straw/fringe-straw-bag/BX998). For clothes, a white knitted dress would be top of my list. I saw this [NA-KD one](https://www.na-kd.com/en/products/pattern-knitted-maxi-dress-off-white-1812-000384-4070), and Mango also has an elegant edit at the moment – [this dress](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=36057&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.mango.com%2Fgb%2Fwomen%2Fdresses-and-jumpsuits-dresses%2Fasymmetrical-dress-with-flower-detail_67009252.html) would be a great evening piece. Make sure you take some statement earrings with you, too. This pair say bridal, but they could also be worn plenty in the future.

### *I bought a pink maxi dress from Mango for a friend's wedding in July – any thoughts on the shoes and a bag?*

Go for a really comfortable heel – I have some very similar to this white pair from [Mango](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=36057&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.mango.com%2Fgb%2Fwomen%2Fshoes-heeled-sandals%2Fheel-non-structured-sandals_77010258.html) and was pleasantly surprised when I got through an entire wedding last year pain-free. Alternatively, Zara has these [simple heels](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=32887&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zara.com%2Fuk%2Fen%2Fkitten-heel-sandals-p11354310.html), which are a great height. Mango has some good bag options too, many of which would be a useful wardrobe addition for the future. Laia Alen is a small brand that makes lovely bags – I like this [red one](https://laiaalen.com/collections/noulli-bag/products/noulli-bag-red), and pink and red always make a good combination.

### *Going-out tops that are versatile enough to work for casual dinners and events are hard to find – any tips?*

Tie-detail tops with wide-leg jeans and a little heel is my go-to look right now. Brands I would recommend include NA-KD – I love this [puff-sleeved top](https://www.na-kd.com/en/products/linen-balloon-sleeve-tie-detail-blouse-white-1822-000003-0001) – or try bodysuits; my go-to brands are Zara and Free People. I also think a black satin top can work with jeans but for something more statement, consider this one from [By Malene Birger](https://www.bymalenebirger.com/gb/en/ready-to-wear/shirts-blouses/brinola-top/102224050.html). Bernadette is another fun brand and finally, never forget to check out [Reformation](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=40090&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thereformation.com%2Fproducts%2Frosaline-knit-top%2F1314910.html&u1=fashion%2Finspiration%2Fflorence-answers-your-pe_amcid-ZZYpEUmqqZI62QUPEArgA) for good going-out tops.

### *Trying to decide which sandals to buy this season – what are you thinking?*

This is a common question – probably because sandals can be tricky. Trends come and go, but I tend to stick to simple styles. This A.Emery [lace-up pair](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=24448&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.net-a-porter.com%2Fen-gb%2Fshop%2Fproduct%2Faemery%2Fshoes%2Fflat%2Fshel-leather-sandals%2F1647597333901031) give The Row vibes at a much better price. Also, thong sandals are officially back. In black or white leather, they go with everything – think relaxed jeans and a jumper now, then dresses once summer really hits. I am also loving all the styles this season that have metal details, like this pair on Zara.
