There’s nothing I love more in wardrobes than a pop of colour. Hell, even if neutral shades\u00a0are your jam, there’s something about the summer that invites us to throw on shades brighter than the sun, and a statement handbag is the perfect way to dip that experimental toe in the water. \u00a0The hardest part? Deciding what colour to invest in, but I am here to help!<\/h2>\n

Shopping for a new everyday handbag is every accessory addicts dream, but what can be difficult is avoiding that ever predictable safety net. I need a lot from my handbags, I have always been pretty heavy handed with my everyday pieces and expect my handbags to keep up with that! That’s why I like to invest in brands like Radley. <\/a>Tried and tested, loved by many (including maybe your Granny!) Radley London have upped my handbag game for a few years now. What with designer collaborations, super classic designs and stunning colour pallet,\u00a0\u00a0the brand build bags to last and I’m not just talking aesthetically, but in your wardrobe too.<\/p>\n

Choosing the perfect colour for you should be top priority, as it is in any investment piece. You must estimate the ‘cost per wear’ and predict\u00a0at least 3 outfits that \u00a0you could wear it with. At the moment, I am wearing a lot of blue and rust colours. Infact, I have dreams of one day having a wardrobe that magically all goes together, but I think that’ll be more of a pinch me moment, if it ever comes! For me, yellow was the perfect colour to add into my wardrobe. Firstly, I don’t have a bag of the same colour, and secondly it goes well with my safety colours of choice. This means that pretty much all my outfits can havea no brainer POP whenever I see fit. Which is all the time, obvs!<\/p>\n

Being the type of person who is drawn to personality pieces, dressing in themes comes somewhat naturally for me. I can’t draw, or play an instrument, so I feel fashion is my form of self expression. Basically, I love to play dress up\u00a0with the beautiful things I find and collect, playing matchmaker with each item of my wardrobe.\u00a0So when I first laid eyes on this little 60’s ray of sunshine, I knew it was a match made in heaven with this incredible Cat and Cactus shirt from Silken Favours<\/a>. Basically, I dressed up as a kitsch sunny desert in Mexico, but now with cats – no I’m not crazy, I am just in LOVE with this outfit.<\/p>\n

In keeping with the 60’s vibe, I went for this little shift style play suit and this incredible pistachio leather blazer with this Lea Stein esque brooch I found at a flea market in New York. I just love when an outfit comes together, don’t you?<\/p>\n
