This summer's style inspiration truly encapsulates the season's mood. It isn't just about fashion but lifestyle too. The mood-board features outfit inspiration alongside travel photos, revealing how I want this summer to both look and feel. My summer inspiration isn't just about style and what I'll be wearing; it's about how I want to spend each day.
A lot has been going on in my personal life and the world in general. Often it all feels overwhelming and completely out of my control. So it's no surprise to see this season's inspiration reflecting where my mind has been wandering and what I find most comforting.
Lately, I've been dreaming of warmer weather and beach holidays. Days spent in botanical gardens or swimming in rivers. I want to eat outdoors and enjoy a glass of wine, watching the sun go down with friends and the dog at my side. These simple pleasures make life so much more sweeter—and I want my outfits to match!
While I get my summer travel plans in order, I'm finding small ways to make each day a little brighter. From freshly painted nails to new summer jewellery, these simple, somewhat insignificant, indulgences make each day more enjoyable.
The wait for summer and all the good things it brings can be tedious. I always get impatient for the warmer weather to arrive. Pulling together seasonal style inspiration helps make that slightly more bearable. Dreaming up outfits to wear when the sunshine finally arrives is certainly one way to stave off the impatience!
Looking over the outfits I've been draw to in my summer style mood-board, the devil is certainly in the details. Sunglasses perched on shirt collars, fresh fruit served on beach loungers, bags full of foraged wild herbs, and soft serve held by painted nails. Stacking rings and layered necklaces add a delicate touch that completes an outfit, balancing out the punchy lime tones and elevating the neutral ones.
I encourage you to find style inspiration on Pinterest and put together your own seasonal style mood-boards with outfits to recreate. They are invaluable for developing personal style and creating a cohesive wardrobe—which can often be done using the wardrobe you already own.
