Summer Basic: The White Dress
Back in March I purchased a white Summer dress, dreaming as I was of Summer holidays at the time. After much browsing I found a gorgeous cotton crochet trim number at the ever brilliant Asos. I've not yet had the chance to wear it, the weather being so unpredictable and chilly but it is waiting patiently in my wardrobe for my Summer trip to Italy and maybe one or two warm sunny English Summer days/evenings (fingers crossed! ).
I am now thinking that I may need more than one white dress in my capsule holiday wardrobe... fancy seeing an Edit of what's out there? Me too, come along with me...

Summer Basic: Brilliant Bretons Part I
Well, yes as the title suggests, I have been busy browsing Breton stripes over the past couple of days. My eyes have become somewhat dazzled by all the stripes, both vertical and horizontal, but it has definitely been worth it. There are so many gorgeous stripes out there I found it pretty difficult to edit them down but I have managed to (to an extent, if I'm honest I keep spotting more...) and have lots of lovely ones to share with you from luxe to middle ground to bargain buys.
Let's dive straight in (that's always my mantra - life's too short to dillydally!)
Okay, so that's the tops done. Look out for Part II in a couple of days which will show some more stripey picks - shirts, dresses and even some shoes. Prepare yourself for some more nautical staples to freshen up your wardrobe - Part II will follow on Wednesday. Sign up to receive it directly to your Inbox!
'Til then,

Breton tops are a great basic piece to have in your wardrobe, particularly when the seasons are changing or Spring can't decide if it's here to stay, as here in the UK at the moment. Above I have selected jersey or fine-knit pieces all of which would complement blue, black or white denim pieces or khaki cargoes; and some of which would look smart enough to wear to the office.
On with more - there were so many available I couldn't just edit down to 9! Here goes (warning you may need sunglasses, and a large glass of wine if it's past 6 o'clock!)
I really like the ones with the extra detail such as the ribbons down the back of the M&S one and the back zip on the NAF NAF top. However, the CHLOE top caught my eye as it looks so gorgeous with its contrasting panels - I know it's quite expensive at £105.75 (was £235) but I also know it's a quality piece that will look great with casual or smart outfits and will last for years to come. Plus The Outnet has some fab discounted designer pieces currently.
Well, Breton stripes certainly won't be going out of fashion any time soon; they have been a staple in wardrobes since Coco Chanel spotted them on the backs of Breton sailors in the early 20th century and haven't left since; and with so many variations on the theme available in our stores now,there is something to please all shapes, sizes and budgets.
Here are some inspiring pics to show some ways to wear your stripes....
