Outdoorsy designer; how to have a stylish summer even with restrictions.

It has been a slightly sad affair for our finery over the past 12 months. Heels have been left at the back of the wardrobe, our best dresses hang in hope of being worn again some day and well, our favourite bags have been sorely neglected.

However, with a little ray of hope coming in the form of glimpses of freedom, it is looking as if in the not too distant future it might me time to blow away the cobwebs and get dressed up, and not just to do your weekly shop.

Here are our practical picks for the coming months:

Park bench coffees

Marc Jacobs City Backpack

This backpack is perfect for taking on your strolls with friends. Chic yet practical, it is a perfect small backpack to fit in all your needs for a wander round your local park and easy to sling on your back when you are having a coffee on a park bench!

Picnics Galore

Kate Spade Margaux Medium Crossbody

This piece of Kate Spade is the perfect cross body, with the months getting warmer and the day is getting longer it seems likely that many of us will be spending time with friends in the park having a picnic, and what better than a cross body to keep your vital bits and pieces in whilst you lug a heavy hamper full of goodies across the grass?!

Beer Garden Bevvy’s

DKNY Shoulder

This DKNY shoulder provides a practical yet stunning solution for feeling glam whilst enjoying a drink outside with friends, and it is an absolute steal! The bright colour makes it feel oh so special and the four studs on the base will help to protect the leather from any rough surfaces. Also, the pebbled leather cleans up beautifully!

The Big Hurrah

Louis Vuitton Mini Pochette

Eventually life will return back to normal, and we will all be back to the events we love most. Weddings, parties, drinks, weekends away, holidays, these things will all continue and we will most certainly have reason to celebrate! The final pick for this amazing chapter that we can’t wait to reach has to be the Louis Vuitton Mini Pochette. It is a thing of beauty and will certainly be an eye catcher. For the best night out, why not have the best piece of Armcandy?
