Shopping the New In Section

fashion - new in

Today’s amalgamation of items we’re coveting comes from the ‘New In’ sections of some of our favourite retailers. We’ve become so accustomed to the ‘New In’ page, we’re clicking on it daily to feast our eyes on the latest of the newbie bunch.

The Trousers. Topshop brings it when it comes to patterned trousers, and we love these dogtooth leggings for sprucing up a monochrome outfit. Thick enough to wear as trousers, teamed with a white tee it’s effortless fashion in the blink of an eye. Topshop Dogtooth Leggings, £25.

The Dress. It’s summer, and we’re still not over these floral patterns that keep popping up on the scene. This floral print skater dress is on the top of our wishlists, thanks to its versatility – pair it with some nude heels for an evening look, or brown sandals for a picnic with friends at the weekend. New Look Floral Skater Dress, £14.99.

The Clutch. The Topshop Saffiano Zip Pouch is the perfect solution for all those times when it’s just not necessary to lug the entire contents of your bag with you. Big enough to house all your essentials, it’s ideal for evenings out with friends or a quick nip to the shops. It also comes in a floral version, and at £8, quite frankly it would be rude not to. Topshop Saffiano Zip Pouch, £8.

The Boots. Even though summer is in full bloom, we’re suckers for ankle boots and skinny jeans which is why we’ve added these Topshop boots into the mix. With barely a heel, these will be perfect come autumn once the rain starts to make an appearance. Groan. Topshop BLIGHTY Chelsea Boots, £45.

The Skincare Product. The HealGel range has been carefully curated by leading surgeons to develop a range of products that combat a myriad of skin concerns. We were instantly drawn to this as a post-sun treatment, aimed to heal and soothe the skin. We’ve also heard it’s great for dry skin (goodbye, dry elbows!) and reducing bruising. HealGel Body, £39.50.

Summer Travels: Holiday Packing

summer holiday

After revealing our in-flight essentials on Wednesday, it’s now for the second serving in our Summer Travels feature; our three favourite picks and essentials for any summer holiday. We offer up three pieces to take you from the departure lounge to the beach in style.

We love Topshop’s collection of bikinis, and at the moment we’re finding ourselves flocking towards anything that’s mint or turquoise in colour. This Topshop bikini with the scallop edges is perfect, offering the right amount of support without compensating in terms of how flattering it is. There are many similar ones on their website, and we also love this Topshop bikini too. For a light cover-up on holiday, a loud printed kimono is exactly what the doctor ordered. This New Look kimono fits the bill. No suitcase is complete without a suitable pair of sunglasses and we love these tortoiseshell ones from River Island. They are a stylish way to protect the eyes and face from UV rays, and these look far more expensive than they actually are.
