Michelle’s Most Coveted

As the evening stretches, so too does the content, of my handbag, having to take me from day to night, beach to BBQ.

Of all the stunning summer fashion buys I’ve been eye-ing up, the ones to pique my interest most of all happen to be matching, ideal for wearing together for a polished evening look or worn separentley with your favourite jeans or tees for relaxed weekend mornings. Here's what I’m planning on investing in while we have the weather...

Handbag essentials

These are my go-to bits and bobs to have on the go in my can-hold-the-kitchen-sink bag. When the sun picks up I’ll be rummaging for durable jewellery I can swim in, this retro digital camera that encourages you make more conscious photo choices with only 27 uploads a day, the back-in-stock cult fave SPF that works brilliantly both under and over makeup and these uber-cool sunnies care of Irish brand Maie Atelier.

Colourful co-ords

Is it just me or is there a lot of dreamy co-ords flooding the feed at the moment? Spanish brand Seasons by Macabla have recently launched some joyful striped pieces in several key colour combos while London’s 4th & Reckless debuted a new rust two-piece which has jumped to the top of my summer pack-list thanks to it’s bead embellishment.
