Fashion must haves...
Continuing with our wedding theme from this month's In the Know...
Bay Trading always has its eyes on the latest trends, and this season is no exception. From jungle fever to florals and tie-dye, each trend has been made wearable with a hint of fun. This sequin bandeau dress follows the 50's skirt trend, defining the waist and stopping just above the knees to flatter most figures. The turquoise hue gives a real sense of summer and would look great with a healthy tan.
If there's one accessory you must have this season, it's a clutch bag. Seen at Emporio Armani, Chloe, Gucci, Prada and Burberry - to name just a few - they came in all shapes and sizes. This one from Accessorize (The Concertina Satin Frame Clutch, if you need its name - £22) should see you right through to Christmas. Its nod to the 1920s gives it a vintage feel, and it'll remain timeless.
Tie Rack's the place to go if you're looking for a versatile 'cover up' option. The store has pashminas in every colour of the rainbow at affordable prices. An ideal wrap when those summer evenings get a little chilly, they also double up as a scarf in the winter. With summer holidays just a breath away, pashminas are ideal for aeroplane comfort - either tucked under your head as a pillow or used as a blanket to snuggle up in. £19.99-£49.99.
A more unique way of accessorising an outfit is wearing a corsage. Traditionally something worn in America on prom night, they have infiltrated the fashion arena and become a symbol of style and sophistication. Either worn as a broach or on your wrist, Simply Yours Flowers can make one to your individual specifications and colours ensuring you'll be the belle of the ball. Prices from £8-£15.
The Pretty in Pink collection at Jacques Vert ticks all the right boxes. Soft tailoring to suit all shapes and sizes, the collection offers a variety of looks for all occasions. Whether it's a wedding, garden party, birthday celebration or christening, all the separates work as individual pieces, ensuring you'll get a lot of wear out of them. Hat £89, jacket £139, blouse £69 and skirt £79, in sizes 10-22.
