My signature style is feminine, floral, and full of colour.

You’ll very rarely catch me in black — I’m all about prints and plenty of colour. I was embracing dopamine dressing before it was the trend du jour. 

I love to throw on a dress in the morning and be done.

Rain, hail or shine, a statement dress is my go-to. Florals certainly aren’t just for spring, and nor is colour just for the summer months. As much as I love pulling different looks together, I love how a dream dress is all I really need to feel like I’m set for the day.

Of course, then all I have to do is add the perfect accessories.

While I’ll often reach for a colourful bag or shoes to complement my outfit, I’m all about opting for a pared-back approach where jewellery is concerned. I look for timeless pieces that are versatile and easy enough to pair with whatever print or colour I might decide to wear on any given day.

Pandora’s new Signature Collection ticks all the boxes – it’s sleek, sophisticated, and incredibly easy to wear.

When I’m wearing bold colour and vibrant prints, I want my jewellery to be the subtle icing on the cake. I’ve never really followed trends where jewellery is concerned and instead I’ll always invest in pieces that can be worn with ease, season after season. 

Pandora’s new Signature Collection is timeless with a contemporary twist – and for someone who isn’t a huge jewellery wearer, I find the pieces are effortlessly at home within wardrobe.

I’ve never worn rose gold before, but Pandora’s 14k rose gold plated Signature I-D bangle and ring have me reconsidering.

While the pair look quite stunning when worn together, they can be mixed and matched with the rest of the Signature collection to create an array of unique looks. They can be dressed up or dressed down, worn every day, or saved for special occasions – the choice is yours. 

In fact, that’s probably my favourite thing about the new collection. Regardless of your own signature style, the pieces have been designed to be worn alone to create a striking statement or can just as easily be layered to create a bespoke look. 

This spring I’m going to be wearing…

The Pandora Signature I-D bangle and matching ring embody understated elegance and go with absolutely everything. I’ll be adorning myself with the 14k rose gold plating – just perfect for spring dressing. 

I can’t get enough of the latest Wynn Hamlyn collection — all the colour is so good, think fairy floss pink, sunshine yellow and minty green. I’ve already snapped up the ‘Monica’ dress in mint, so the vibrant ‘Orchid’ dress is next on the list.

Spring is the perfect excuse to treat yourself to an uplifting fragrance and Aēsop‘s newest addition Eidesis is the best new scent I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing for quite some time. It’s on sale 12 September.

Gabriela Hearst can do no wrong in my mind, so naturally I’m utterly smitten with everything she does at Chloé. These ‘Meril’ platform sandals are my latest obsession — bring on summer!
