I have had an Antonello beach bag wish-listed for the past few years. It makes so much sense to have a fabric (yet sturdy) beach bag that flattens into nothing in your suitcase. It is expensive, but it’s city-appropriate too and after waiting so long to buy it I know I will treasure it forever.

After seeing these slides in a personal-shopping client’s wardrobe, they’re going into my summer box. A summer slide is something I will wear every day, with everything from dresses to jeans. These aren’t cheap, but I know they will be eternally chic.

This is whizzing over to me as I type. I have been looking for a statement skirt for a year now, as it’s something that can transform a t-shirt and denim jacket or be teamed with heels and a shirt. This chiffon number will be a summer hero.

I realised last summer that I desperately need a good summer hat that will flatten in my suitcase without getting damaged – et voilà! I found this in Mango.

Since having Jacob I have been adamant my bikini days are over. However high-waisted bikinis are a compromise that I am planning to seriously investigate this summer.

A good chiffon dress can be worn in both the summer and winter – dressed up or down. That kind of versatility is something I want from a dress and my wardrobe in general.

A structured bag is on my summer wish-list. This Topshop raffia bag is not only summer-appropriate but it’s a great price point, and will make all my summer outfits look a little more pulled-together.
