Thank you so much for popping in. And if you're new here, hello. Thank you so much for finding me. If you all liked this video, which I really hope you do, I'd be very grateful for any spare thumbs up you've got going. And if you're not already subscribed, that would be really lovely too. Don't forget, I love hearing from you all, so do let me know as we go along, your favorite outfit ideas that I share with you today. Okay, I've got so much to show you, so let's get straight to it with items number one. First up in this Suzanne Hall, to this beautiful 100% organic cotton khaki dress. I love this dress so much. So I can already imagine I'm gonna be wearing it on repeat for the rest of summer. I think it's beautiful. I feel elegant in it. It feels stylish and chic. It's got a tiny hint of Bohemian spirit to it, which is lovely for summer. And on top of all of that, it's really, really comfy. I mean, it's quite a wide shape. As you can see, you've got quite a lot of room here, both in the sleeve and across the chest. And obviously I have cinched it in with a belt, which I should tell you about in a moment. But the general vibe of the dress, when you're not wearing the belt, is essentially a shirt dress with a nice wide shape, which I like. So as you can see, I've paired it with tan details, both with my belt and my lovely bucket bag. And on my feet, I've gone for gold sandals. I love that tone personally, both against tan and khaki. So I think it works really nicely. As you can see, I have had to embrace my very sticky-out ears and get my hair up up the way, because I filmed all of these outfits first and boiled alive with my hair down. It's just too hot today. So sorry about this in advance. They're quite sticky-out, I know. Anyway, now I've pointed out my sticky-out ears. You're not gonna be able to look anywhere else. Shall we divert onto another lovely piece on my belt? I think we should. So next up to one beautiful floral blouse. Now, if you've watched my channel for a while, you'll know that I'm not usually one for print patrol. So you know I think it's a pretty special one if I decide to add it into my wardrobe. I just think that print is really pretty and delicate. And although it is a print, I thought it was really subtle with those muted tones. It doesn't feel too bright for me. So really, a perfect way for me to introduce a little bit of floral, which, of course, is one of the big fashion trends this season, into my own capsule wardrobe, with it still very much feeling like my own personal style. So really, really happy with this one. Now, you might have seen it over on my Instagram account, which I shall include a link for in the description box below if you'd like to follow me on there too. But on there, I photographed this with a pair of chinos, which I got from Cos. And I love the two of those together as an outfit. But another new combo that I've just discovered is that I really, really like. Is pairing these lovely, delicate blouse with my menue trousers. So these are the menue trousers, which I absolutely love. I think they've just got the perfect shape for spring summer, quite loose and relaxed and very low key, but they feel elevated at the same time. In fact, they're actually a very similar shape to the chinos that I was waffling about, which is probably why I like them styled with this. So I've styled it with a pair of tang leather sandals that I just got in, and my numero un nano from Plain Paris. A late addition to this video, but after waffling how much I love the trousers in camel, I went and treated myself to them too. And they've just arrived, so I thought I'd give you all a quick look. I do believe when you find the perfect fit of trousers and they're within budget, it's worth getting them in another colorway. So I've styled them here, as you can see with my lovely flat sandals again, a simple vest top and a canvas beach bag that I often use as a tote. I'm very happy with these trousers. I think I'm gonna get lots of use out of them. Now the first problem I've had is that I love everything so much. I whipped all the labels off, which is not good for the bank balance. Second problem I've got is I need to pack soon for our holiday to roads, which I'm really, really hoping goes ahead. And I want to take everything with me, which is not good when you want to try and squeeze it all into a carry-on suitcase. Maybe I should film that experience and see how many pieces can you squeeze into one quite small carry-on. Possibly come in soon. So next up in this Cezanne lookbook for summer 2021, I went for this very cute bow top. Now this had been made from a blend of organic cotton. I'm not 100% sure, but I think there must be some sort of lycra in there because it's got quite a stretchy feel to it, which is good. You've got little capsules fitted across the waist and the tummy and this really pretty shape across the chest. It arrived like that. Can you see that? And I kind of thought, what are you supposed to do with that? It looks weird with those pointy things hanging down. I thought they'd sent me the wrong piece. They haven't because of course, all you do is tie that in a bow across the chest. And it makes quite a sweetheart neckline, which I'm very fond of. I find that really fluttering. So in the pictures on the website, the model is wearing the sleeves quite far down the arm, so almost off the shoulder, which looks nice on her, but did look a bit silly on me. So I much prefer to wear those up. I think I would feel much more comfortable like that and probably more practical to be conscious it was just gonna slip down completely. So as you can see, I'm starting it with a pair of navy trousers that I got fairly recently from Cos. On my feet, I'm wearing my Everlane Day Flats, but I would also wear this with sandals. I think that would look really nice too. And then polishing off the whole outfit and feeling even more Parisian vibe, I've added my numero-une classic handbag from Palais. In all honesty, I think a top like this will become quite a staple for me because not only will I wear it with both of those pairs of trousers I've got on the rail and of course all my jeans as well. I think that would look really nice together. Next up in this Cezanne haul to a piece that is very much a classic on Cezanne's website, it gets restocked time and time again, probably because of its popularity, is this beautiful silk blouse. So as you can see, it's got this very pretty open work, a broadery detail all the way around the collar and down the front panel here. And then you've also got that on sleeve edges as well. The sleeves are a really nice shape as well. You've got very tiny little gathers at the shoulder there and then that lovely wide shape which just feels so nice in the heat. Again, talking of wide shape, the width is actually really nice. It's quite square so you don't feel too sticky, not that you would anyway because it's silk but it's not clinging anywhere which I much prefer throughout spring, summer and autumn, winter really. I don't like clings to cling at any point. Now, although I would absolutely wear this very dressed down with a pair of jeans or maybe my chinos and sandals underneath that down jacket, I think it would look really cool. I wanted to show you a pretty dressed up, possibly workwear look with this blouse just to give you a different bit of inspiration. So I've paired it with one beautiful maxi skirt that I got recently and my strappy mid-heel sandals on my feet. Although that looked nice together on its own, I thought it would be quite nice to have the addition of the belt as well to really define my waist a bit more so I added the tan leather belt in between. So then I finished off with my bucket bag again as I quite like those very similar tones of tan blending together. So yes, one beautiful blouse that no doubt will become quite a classic in my capsule wardrobe. So the next item I bought is very similar to the Will jacket, which I have here in a dark indigo and I also have it in the blush as well. I wear these a lot, as you've probably seen on my channel. I love the shape, I love the quality of these, but when I spotted this other version, I just couldn't help myself. I just fell in love with this blue shade and I couldn't resist. Now this is a slightly different shape to the Will jacket. I would say this one is a bit more boxy, perhaps a little bit more casual. So I love the shape, but what really stole my heart was this slightly vintage shade of blue. I just love that, especially for summer. Now I don't think I would ever do a summer season without a denim jacket in my capsule wardrobe. Aside from trench coats, they're probably my outwear of choice. And of course we don't live in the Bahamas, sadly. So we often feel the need for a summer coat. Now styling wise, I would put this Cezanne denim jacket with just about everything on my rail. I don't think you'll ever find it hard to mix and match a denim jacket into your outfit ideas. So I tried to do something a little bit different with the outfit idea for this piece. And I paired it with a lovely blue dress that I got from Ander the Stories. Obviously it's quite a tonal look with the blue on blue. I do really love that. But to give it a bit of a twist, I just sit down with my high top converse on my feet and then elevated it all back up again with my numero D handbag. So a bit of a mish-mash in terms of high-low pieces that I think when you see it as a whole, it really works nicely together. Well, I think so anyway. Okay, let's move on, move on because I've got so many to show you. Actually, I'm going to show you my belt, which I'm very, very happy with. Again, you might have already had a sneak peek of this over on Instagram as I've been styling it into a few different outfit ideas. And one thing actually, really annoyingly, just before I turned this camera on, went and washed my hands and some water splashed onto it here and it's got a watermark. If anyone knows of any good ways to get that out, please do let me know in the comments section. So as you can see, this is a tan leather belt and you've got a really nice and very fine stitching detail with those four rows of, I think that's camel stitching detail around the edges. That's a really nice touch. It actually makes it feel a bit more different. I love how the buckle is quite big here, makes a nice statement at the front. And with a bit of a shelf, it goes through the belt hooks of every pair of trousers I've tried it with so far, which is quite a few. There was definitely a gap in my capsule wardrobe for a nice new belt. So I was on the home for one, as you know, from a couple of months ago. And I think this one really ticks all the boxes for me. I'm really, really happy with it. Now, if there's one piece aside from a Bretton top that gives you a bit of a Parisian vibe very, very easily, it would be these sorts of short sleeve tops. Now, obviously I fell in love with the color. Just a dull coffee tone in my capsule wardrobe. But on top of that, it's actually been made from a really sustainable fabric called Icheverro. Now that fabric is actually made from the pulp of wood and the wood is sustainably sourced as well. So a really nice option on fabric that I hope to see more of on our high street soon. So as you can see, it's got a square neck and those lovely scalloped edges around it. They do that detail on the sleeves and also on the hem as well. I went for this in a small and I could probably do with a bit of a darker bra underneath because as it's stretching across my chest you can very slightly see my flesh-colored bra. Sorry, struggling with that sentence. So I could probably do with something a bit darker. I could have possibly sized up in this so I had a bit more room and it wasn't stretching but I think you would almost lose that Parisian vibe element to it if you went too baggy. So I kind of think it needs to be tighter. I just probably need a different color bra. That was a very long-winded way of saying put a darker bra on Jessica. So I've paired it with my high-waisted dark indigo skinny jeans that I got from Everlane. On my feet I am wearing a pair of heels that actually came from Cezanne last summer. However, they were so popular. They've bought out a new version for this summer which is almost the same. So I shall link that in the description box below. So another lovely top that just came from my rail. I shouldn't need to buy any more tops for the rest of the season. You can hold me to that. Now I've got another item of clothing to show you but before I move on to that I just want to quickly show you an accessory I bought because I do think Cezanne's jewelry section definitely deserves to mention there's some really beautiful pieces on there. So I went for this pretty chunky gold necklace which I absolutely love. I've wanted something like this for a while and I must admit I'd looked on Netta Porter and found one on there but it was really, really expensive and I couldn't bring myself to do it. And it wasn't in terms of quality any better than this one. They're both gold plated. It was just a designer brand so a designer price as well. Now as you'll see in this footage I would wear this necklace with lots of different outfit ideas but I would say my favorite is sat against white because it really makes that gold pop out. I think even with something really simple like a classic white tee and a pair of jeans adding a chunky gold necklace like this can look quite cool and it just brings it up to date a bit more in a very simple fashion. So you've not tried too hard it still feels really effortless. It's got a bit of a Parisian vibe to it but it's just a sprinkle of gold to shush up an outfit. Next up in the Suzanne Hall and look book to a classic white shirt with a twist. Did you know that you could get complimentary embroidery with a lot of the pieces you see on Suzanne's website? The tomboy shirt being one of them. So as you can see I've got my name embroidered in red just above the top pocket here. This would actually look really nice on the denim jacket as well. I think red against that blue would look lovely and it would make quite a nice detail as well especially if you're buying something as a gift for somebody else that you could make it personal. Now the shirt itself is actually the tomboy shirt and as I've learned from experience they do come up quite small. I would say pretty much 99% of Suzanne pieces are very true to size but the tomboy shirt definitely comes up small. You need to size up in that. So I've got that in the 40 whereas I would normally go for the 38. So I've started out with my blue washed denim jeans. I've got my beige comfy trainers on my feet and a numero deep handbag again to finish. Actually thinking about it if I did need a jacket I would probably do a bit of a double denim with that look. My jeans, the jacket over the top and that nice crisp white showing underneath. I think that looks really nice together. So I'm gonna be styling that into outfit ideas for years to come hopefully. So I really hope you've enjoyed this Suzanne haul and look book for summer 2021. I thoroughly enjoy shopping on Suzanne's website so it's an absolute pleasure sharing with you all the pieces that I went for.
