Dreaming of Spring

Topshop Blazer / Zara Cropped Leather Top / Max Studio Plait Dress / Maria Francesca Pepe Spiked Ring / Max Studio Linen Shorts / Max Studio Draped Top / Topshop Studded Sandals

I can’t believe it’s March already, it’s supposed to be the start of spring & yet I haven’t seen a single peep of sunshine. I have well & truly had enough of this grey, miserable weather now & I can’t wait to start wearing more spring appropriate things.

As usual I’ve absentmindedly been browsing the stores online daydreaming about pieces I’ll wear when it’s finally warm enough & this has left me with a million & one pieces on my current wishlist. I can see myself wearing a lot of sleeveless cotton jackets, paper thin linens, airy silk dresses & simple, unfussy jewellery. I still wear mostly black and a lot of tailoring, even when it’s summer, so I always look for pieces in super lightweight fabrics & the sleeveless cotton blazer would be such a perfect piece for warm days. I love the boxy cut & the little zip pockets.

I also recently came across Max Studio, a brand focusing on womens designer clothing, in beautiful fabrics, but at really great prices too. I am in love with the plaited harness dress, loose fitting jersey pieces are one of my staples when it comes to summer & the plaiting on this adds the perfect amount of detail to an otherwise plain & easy dress. I’m also coveting their asymmetric top, it is so perfectly draped & the airy crepe material looks as though it’d be a dream in the sticky summer heat.
