10 Stylish Women Share Their Favourite Summer Purchases

1. I hate switching bags, so I prefer to buy one which goes with everything. This Bottega Veneta bag is an investment, but it works for both day and night, and the white colourway makes it perfect for summer. 
2. Packing as light as possible is always a priority come holiday time, so I love styling up a classic swimsuit for the beach and beyond – make it dinner ready by adding trousers or a skirt.
3. Summer shoes shouldn’t be fussy. I usually go for something laid back that I can throw on with everything, from a wide leg pant to a sultry summer dress – and this strappy design more than fits the brief.

1&3. There are countless styling options when it comes to a matching suit, whether you wear the pieces together or separately. I love wearing the blazer with a white tank and jeans or with a linen maxi dress for a soft contrast – plus, the breathable fabric makes it ideal for warm weather. 

2. I’ve been styling this simple dress with chunky sandals and Veja sneakers for casual walks in the park – it’s a really easy, throw on piece and the back detail gives it some extra interest.

1. Shirts are so versatile, and I've found myself wearing this one time and again. Wear it buttoned up and tucked in for work and then open and loose over a bikini or cami for a more relaxed look. The stripes are smart, but the linen keeps it casual. 

2. Simple from the front, but thanks to cut out detail at the back, this dress is a real show-stopper. I style it with some gold jewels, Arizona Love sandals and a Loewe basket by day, switching for Gucci sandals and a mini bag by night. I’m planning to buy it in white, too.

3. These are some of the most flattering denim shorts around – they’re such a great length; pair them with a tank top and an oversized blazer.

1. This is my first tweed Chanel bag and it means a lot to me for a number of reasons. My daughter’s name, Carnelian Agate, is represented in the colour combination and it also reminds me of home in Persia, where the agate stone has been used in jewellery for generations.

2. I have worn these wide-leg jeans from Zara on repeat – they fit beautifully, the shape is super flattering and they’re a great price, too. 

3. I just bought these Louis Vuitton sandals – they’re cool, classic and go with just about everything. My husband refuses to walk with me when I wear them, but I still love them!

1. My latest addition, and obsession, are these sleek and strappy Sania d’Mina sandals. They’re not only stunning to look at, but they’re also designed with function and comfort in mind. Wear them with summer dresses and tailored trousers whenever you want to feel a little more put together.

2&3. I’m all about keeping things simple – with a fun twist – during the summer, so this matching By Malina set is the perfect outfit. Style it with black or deep brown accessories to add contrast to the look.
