Kat says;
I love, love love a maxi dress and this one, in cool organic cotton, is a sure winner. In a lovely tobacco shade, it suits any skin tone and can be worn on sunny days just as it is, or teamed with a denim jacket for those cooler nights.
Linen is a go-to fabric for summer, it is cool, natural and is meant to be worn with a crease, so no need to reach for the iron, just pop on and you are good to go.


I’m obsessed with this slip skirt! In an easy breezy satin and with a slightly flared silhouette and a natural tone, this little wonder is so easy to wear and looks just as great worn with a slouchy sweatshirt as it does with a slip cami and leather jacket for a more dressed up vibe.


A cool white blouse is a must-have in the summer wardrobe, and this version is super-feminine, the ruffle on the neckline and the blouson sleeve makes this such a beautifully styled option – a great rework on a classic piece.
Talking of reworks, this versatile jacket is a new take on not one, but two great classics – the quilted blouson meets the staple denim jacket, now this is a mash-up we can all love! Wear with jeans and a simple tee, or dress up a midi and pair with chunky heels to make this hard-working jacket a true wardrobe staple.
Sometimes, a classic is just that, a classic, and this slim cut blazer in a Prince of Wales check is so lovely – lightweight yet warm, this is worth an investment and will be a wardrobe favourite for years to come
Just look at the details on this linen midi! From the gorgeous embellished flowers to the stunning back detail, this one is a stunner.
Fancy foot work can really add to an outfit, and here, I have chosen three styles that really will go with anything and give that instant lift to the summer wardrobe:
