Rosie, Fashion Buyer

Tie Strap Pleat Detail Midi Dress

“This statement piece is the perfect trendsetting combination - and it comes in the must-have colourway of the season, ‘butter yellow’. With its uber-feminine puffball silhouette and delicate tie straps, I would pair this look back with ballet pumps and some statement jewellery for an elevated day look.”

Embroidery Tie Neck Blouse with Puffball Shorts

“Straight off the catwalk, this Chloe-inspired puffball short is super cute – so fresh and new for this SS25 season. Styled with the embroidered statement bow blouse, it’s a personal favourite I’ve already added to basket.”

Fringe Cutout Dress & White Blazer

“This strappy cutout dress with its dramatic fringe hem offers a fresh new take on event dressing! It’s a standout piece for those who want to be seen. I recommend paring it back with an oversized white blazer and black flipflop sandals!”
