It's Monday morning, the sun is shining and the upturn in temperatures mean I can finally get my head around looking more closely and what brands have to offer for the summer season, weather it be holiday clothes, a wedding outfit or the perfect pair of summer sandals.
Mint Velvet had me with the above image, always a sucker for stripes, a sun hat and a beach scene, so I was already convinced there would be plenty in the collection to grab my attention and I have fallen in love with the effortless dressing the brand aspires to achieve.
I'm already thinking of suggesting a girlie lunch date wearing the above outfit!
I often shy away from pink but this dress is such a gorgeous shade for summer and would easily dress up or down. I also find myself being extremely impressed with the brands footwear collection of summer sandals, trans-seasonal boots and metallic pieces to add a touch of spring time sparkle to the most casual of looks.
