Summer Accessories Edit!
I’m such a summer baby. I love everything about it. The sunshine, the longer days, the Aperols at 3pm… and of course, the accessories. The quickest way to elevate any outfit (and mood) is with a bold accessory – a pop of colour on your nails, a playful print or a statement bit of jewellery that instantly says holiday mode. Whether you’re heading to the beach or the beer garden, these pieces will bring that effortless summer energy we all crave…
Nails
There’s no better way to lean into summer than with a fresh set of nails and the only rule from me (and Michael, obvs) is the bolder, the better.
Nails but make it jewellery. These tiny nail gems are designed to be reused, so not only do they look incredible, but they’re sustainable too. Whether you want a subtle sparkle or full-on glitz, this is such a fun way to switch up your look.
Their colours are iconic. Juicy corals, ice cream pastels and glossy finishes that last. The formulas are vegan and cruelty-free too. Win-win.
Sarongs
Hands down one of the most versatile pieces for summer. A sarong isn’t just a beach cover-up – wear it as a headscarf, a strapless dress, a top or even lay it out for an impromptu picnic in the park!
Honestly so iconic. Who doesn’t love a game of backgammon on the beach?! Love that this comes with a little bag of game pieces to pop in your beach bag. London based, female owned brand? LOVE.
Florals for summer? Always. Lightweight, soft and endlessly wearable.
Needs some inspiration? Check out this fab video for some ideas on how you can wear your sarong. Can’t wait to try some of these when the sun comes back to London (um, we’re waiting!).
Accessories
You know those pieces that instantly pull an outfit together? These are them. From fruit-laced earrings to ribbon-trimmed bandanas, these accessories are the cherry on top of your summer fits.
A pop of colour that screams holiday. Absolutely love these for layering but you could also wear them solo.
Tie it in your hair, around your neck or onto your bag. Very Carrie Bradshaw vibes.
Ok you might be sensing a theme here. You know I absolutely love Zara! This one is giving ‘90s Barbie-core. Also feel this is so versatile for all year round – like this at Christmas? YES.
Obsessed. These are a conversation starter and then some. Wolf & Moon are super high quality for a high street brand so these will absolutely not upset your ears if you’re sensitive like me!
These are too cute. Juicy, fun and (surprisingly) lightweight. Great with slicked back hair and your fave red lippy.
If you know, you know. These are handmade in London, voluminous and so playful. I own one of these for every season and have got all of my friends obsessed with them too!
A classic bandana with a print twist. This looks beautiful with a white shirt dress or styled into a braid.
Summer Bags
You could be wearing the simplest white linen dress but throw on one of these bags and boom your outfit is instantly pulled together. From beaded beauties to fringe drama, there’s a little something for every vibe.
I feel like fish print has just been such a thing this year! And do you know what? I’m so here for it. In my opinion, this is the ultimate market-to-beach bag. So fun and fits a lot inside!
I feel like Mint Velvet never disappoint when it comes to bags. This fringe beauty works with everything from denim to a floaty dress. Absolutely love the size – such a statement!
Perfect for evening Aperol’s or a sunset dinner. If I’m ever reincarnated as a bag, I feel like I’d want to be this one.
Honestly, I feel like I could go on forever. I just love accessories. They’re so important for having fun with your style. Whether you’re throwing your hair up with a giant scrunchie, layering necklaces or pulling your look together with a printed sarong, these pieces are pure summer joy. Playful, bold and totally chic.
As always, let me know your faves – and if you’re packing any of these for your holidays!
Love,
