Lady Bug Says ... Harrods Summer Picks

*Guest Post*

It can be hard to know where to start when the next season of ladies fashion hits the rack. Rather than haphazardly grabbing the first items you see, choosing sensibly means you can mix, match and still be ahead of the fashion curve.

One of this season’s head turners is Chloe’s leather shorts. These beige, pure leather shorts are the perfect blend of feminine and fashion-forward, and pairing them with black sheer stockings and a white blouse makes a must-have evening look.

For a more delicate eveningwear, a pastel peach lace skirt by Carven is just the ticket, and is both glamorous and trendy with Carven’s black taffeta top. The top serves double-duty by being the perfect accomplice to just about any skirt or skinny jeans.

Marc by Marc Jacobs’ Hot Dot Print Shorts, which are white polka dots on navy silk, with soft pleats and a high waist, are also very versatile. These shorts let everyone know warm weather is on the way, and look killer paired with the Carven Milano coral jacket. The Milano jacket is inspired by classic Parisian tailoring, but modernized with a silver-toned zipper on one side, and a scooped neckline.

The Max & Co. Leather Biker Jacket in black also features an asymmetrical zipper, but has a collar and a more traditional leather jacket look. Add either of these jackets to your wardrobe and not only have you got two extremely versatile pieces, but you’ve struck the right balance between feminine and edgy.
