From versatile fashion pieces to must-have accessories, let's explore the ultimate essentials for a stylish and functional summer-to-autumn transition.

Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed

Birkenstock are a personal favourite of mine, as they are shoes that are designed with a focus on comfort and support. The latex footbed design conforms to the shape of the food, providing extra comfort for everyday errands, as well as stay-at-home slippers. It also has adjustable straps for a customised fit, which is made of materials like leather or Birko-Flor (a synthetic material designed to look like leather. These go platinum in my household!

Chuck Taylor All Star XXHi

Converse shoes have always been in style, but this unconventional silhouette is my dream! It is a bold and unique variant of the classic, known for its extra-high top design and extensive lacing. It’s a versatile fashion piece that still retains the comfort and iconic style of the original Chuck Taylors, while offering an alternative look to elevate your fits.

Daily Paper Alora Two Tone Knit Vest

This contemporary piece has a two-tone colour palette, which is a signature element of the Daily Paper brand. A standout piece for the wardrobe, this vest is great for layering, which is prominent in today’s streetwear fashion. With the double zip feature, it has the versatility to wear more ways than one. 

Dr Martens Adrian Loafer Quad Flat Shoes

The Dr. Martens Adrian Loafer is a classic shoe that combines the brand's signature punk-inspired style with a more refined, preppy aesthetic. As a newly added staple to my wardrobe, they are a shoe for all year round! You can dress these up with an asymmetrical shirt and a long skirt to attend a gallery opening, or dress them down in an all-baggy fit when trying to look chic going to the corner shop.
