Summer Lovin!

The sun has got her hat on, hip hip hip horray!  And about time too we say!  At bod & ted we have all been dying to move our winter gear to the back of the wardrobe and move our summer clothes back into full view.  Judging by what our customers are purchasing and wearing today, and by what we see outside, everyone seems to have had the same idea!  The shorts and dresses are out ladies!  So with this in mind, we thought that we would pick out some of our favourite summer pieces which are perfect for the hot weekend ahead of us- so bring out the bbq and soak up the sun in style!

From pretty dresses, simple tees, to funky chinos, we’ve got the lot!

If you are going round to a friends for a bbq and want to be smart- casual, then our Avoca Nico Knot Dresses and Treviso Dresses are just the ticket.  Cut to perfection and incredibly flattering on absolutely everyone (yes everyone!), these beauties look amazing on and in those fab prints, you can stand out from the crowd!

For a splash of colour, why not try a pair of Maison Scotch’s Lightweight Pima chinos in Acid Pink, the sleek Bruun’s Bazaar Maxi Jersey Dress in Orange, or the Modusa T-shirt in Raspberry from By Malene Birger?  The Chinos are soft and comfortable, and when worn with a simple tee, absolutely rock!  The maxi dress looks stunning on, and we think looks great with one of By Malene Birger’s Tonda scarves in peacock green, or Apricot.  The striped t-shirt looks great with jeans, leggings or shirts so is a really versatile little number too!

Talking of shorts, the Joss Shorts from French brand Ba&sh are a great choice.  We love turning them up, and teaming it with a classic embroidered tee from Odd Molly, like the Poplin Smock in Lite Blue.

And finally, no summer wardrobe would be complete without a dash of floral print!  The Derby Blouse and Damas Dress from Ba&sh are the perfect choice.  Feminine and sophisticated- we cannot fault these two gorgeous pieces!  They are great for dressing up or down.
