You can't beat a good pair of jeans, especially if they're in stand-out orange! These vintage Versace's are actually borrowed from my daughter, yet they fit wonderfully, and the colour, bright and bold, is just what this British weather needs. I'm not one for mixing casual with formal, but I was otherwise persuaded, and the grey and orange compliment each other beautifully. The blazer, by MaxMara, is part of a suit, seen in 'Suited for a Hampshire Wedding'. Accessoried with a stingray bag, from Paraphernalia, a pair of plastic heels by Vivienne Westwood for Melissa, and Dior sunnies, of course...
Taking shelter... in a cool vintage summer dress in hot patterned colours by Gottex. Founded in 1957, the Tel Aviv company is best known for its designer swimswear but this drawstring halterneck would look equally good on the sand, as much as it does here against the stone. The black shaggy cardi is of a similar vintage and the pink plastic shopper is simply practical - on a showery day. My favourite Chanel sunglasses provide cover from the contrariness of the weather.
