Time for this weeks Zara shortlist - where I pick from the new pieces at Zara to show you what I think is worth buying right now. Comment SHOP and I’ll send you all the links x This Linen Co ord has been a firm favourite with you and this bright red colourway is endlessly versatile and right on trend. The trousers are a gorgeous, flattering shape and the shirt can be worn so many ways for summer outfits. These summer weight joggers are the solution for a comfy airport outfit. They are elasticated and have a cuffed hem for that relaxed, balloon style we’re all loving at the moment. This top is simple and chic. The cutout details are subtle but give it an expensive feel, the wide cuffs are a great touch and the length is perfect for leaving it untucked. Finally, these flowing barrel trousers are made from a cool modal fabric so they’re great for warmer days. Ideal for work but just as easy with a t shirt. The shape is lovely and they’re under £30. Join me again next Thursday for another of my weekly picks x LTKsummer LTKstyletip LTKover50style

I have no idea what I’d have worn all summer without these trousers.
I’ve worn them casually and dressed up, for travel and lounging, with flats, sandals and trainers.

They’re the best all rounder I’ve found in a long time. I have 3 of the 4 fab colours and they wash perfectly every time.

What’s not to love?

What I packed (and wore) on holiday.

Comment SHOP and I’ll send you all the links xx

I tried to apply my own style rules to my holiday wardrobe this year and I think I did quite well.

I’m a serial overpacker and this time I was determined to pack smarter.

I made sure everything could be worn several ways and kept my base neutral (sticking mainly to back and white) as they mix and match endlessly.

I injected key pops of colour to keep it simple and add interest.

Loads of versatility, no single ‘outfits’ - but lots of combinations - plus my favourite jewellery to add details.

The result was a capsule full of options That never felt boring or repetitive.

I hope you like the pieces and this helps with your holiday packing. I’ve linked everything and most come in several colour options so you can make it your own based on personal preferences.

Let me know your favourites xx
