When the season's change, stocking up on key pieces is ESSENTIAL! Like the 'winter coat' you hunt down in November, now's the time to start your Summer wardrobe!

BIRKENSTOCKS

Birkenstocks can be a bit daunting on first glance - the first time I saw them I was half in love and half, erm I think my Dad used to have a pair similar? Yeah they look cool but will I be able to pull them off? The answer is YES. Like the smock, Birkenstocks are so versatile and really do go with everything. Plus they're super comfy and will make any outfit. My favourites are the two-strap mule.

JEANS

Whilst you need your collection of skirts and shorts in the Summer, as we all know, UK weather can be pretty depressing, so make sure you have a pair of on-trend jeans at the ready! Ripped at the knee are currently my favourite style. Obviously the usual go-to for jeans; MOTO, Cheap Mondays, Levi, ASOS. Pull & Bear, Monki and The Ragged Priest are also really good at the moment.

SUNNIES
Need I say any more?! A good pair of sunglasses can sharpen any outfit (and can be shoved on when you've had a few too many summer cocktails the night before!).
