My Summer Go-to: The Peasant Top

 I mentioned in my Fringed Bag post last week, that the summer always sees my style err on the side of boho, it just lends itself so well to my practical lifestyle and laid back way. Therefore Summer to me is often about the Peasant Top.
A key piece in my capsule that's for sure, and they are the type of item that you can pull out summer upon summer. Two of mine are years old, and two were new this summer, but i can guarantee they will be worn again and again. They are the simple throw on with jeans and head out the door type outfit, which we all know is my absolute favourite.

These tops work so well through to early autumn, and my four will be on constant rotation.
So i thought we could see whats out there at the moment Peasant Top wise.

First up we have a new to me brand, but one i have instantly fallen for
Joie
Beautiful laid back pieces, lovely cuts and floaty fabrics..

I absolutely love the red and black, I actually used to have one just like this but spilled the dreaded foundation down it and it never washed out #sadtimes..
Shop Joie

A favourite brand of mine of which i have multiple pieces from them: Madewell

 Madewell Peasant Tops
Absolutely adore the idea of a black peasant /boho top, for now with light wash jeans, or come autumn wear with some coated /faux leather jeans for an edgier vibe.
Then we have the classic blue and white peasant top which is just summer personified to me. The gorgeous simple embroidery is reminiscent of a quaint Kefalonian town, making me wish I was sat beach side instead of looking out the window and only seeing rain..bah.. Least i could look the part, right?

River Island bringing some pretty options

The pink off the shoulder number is just the softest of pinks, I love the embroidered detailing, again could be worn with white, blue or black jeans, ooo or khaki.. How perfect with some khaki chinos.
The denim is sublime, if i were in the market to buy more, then i would have to have it, its also on sale too, making it a complete bargain. I love the idea of this now with white jeans, but come autumn layering it under a big cream cosy cardigan, with black jeans and boots.. another absolute winner.

Next up the epitome of boho cool Free People

 Free People Floral Blouses
I think I actually 'Ahhhhhed' at my screen when i saw these beauties. How special are they? Red just works so so well for now and for later, but the detailing and the print just absolutely won me over

Finishing with some from another favourite of mine Warehouse

Pretty embroidered tee, really easy to wear piece, or the really special sheer number. Both so so pretty.


Are you a fan of the Boho/Peasant blouse? 
Do you own any?

Shopbop (sale!) Wish list

Ohh i LOVE a good discount sale so when i got the email from Shopbop to say they were having a 3 day discount sale, well i headed straight over to my favourites list and had a look what purchases i would perhaps treat myself to.

First up

 I have a new found love for Free People. 

I first started looking through their collections last month as their shoes are to die for, but after swooning over their shoes i found myself looking at their clothes. 

There are so many good items. 

My favourites are the above maroon Tree Swing top, the Sleepin' in Stripe shirt and the Herringbone Coatigan. 

How sweet would the little swing top be with some faux leather trousers? Ugghh Love!

Next up is Equipment.

The star blouse had me hook line and sinker as soon as I laid eyes on it.  Equipment is renowned globally for its modern well fitting shirt, and well.. it has stars all over it. What's not to love?! Wear on its own with some leather trousers and heels or layered under a marron sweater and dark wash jeans. 

Then a firm favourite for me. Zoe Karssen.

The bat motif sweater. Contemporary day wear. My favourite type of clothing.

I'm sure it would be well worn and loved this winter and make me a firm favourite in my sons eyes, haha!

Next up.

Rebecca Minkoff Bags

I have been banging on about Rebecca Minkoff bags for months now. I feel like they're only just gaining momentum here in the UK but mark my words, i think they will become really, really popular here. Great styles and colour ranges, excellent quality and good price point for an entry level designer bag.

I'm also in desperate need of a nice new purse.. the black stud wallet is divine.

And finally some footwear: 

Ash Sneakers

Sorel Boots

Splendid Navy booties

I think these three boots could quite easily see me through autumn and winter.

Ash sneakers.. perfect for the school run

Sorrel boots: Snow? No problem, plus perfect for doggy walks.

Navy boots. I have established lately i have a navy boot shaped whole in my wardrobe. A number of outfits lately could have done with being finished off with a navy bootie. These Splendid boots would work perfectly.

Don't forget your code.. (you can click the image to take you through.. yes i know, i'm a terrible enabler, but if i'm shopping,. i'm taking all of you with me ;)

So there we have my wish list...
