Gorgeous casuals for summer

by Naomi


The weather has been so nice over the past couple of weeks it's got me thinking about my summer wardrobe, particularly as I'm progressively replacing my existing wardrobe with eco and ethical pieces. There are some fab pieces just in, so here are a few of the best!

The stripey ruffle on this organic cotton dress from People Tree (£48) adds a cute twist to a versatile staple.

This organic cotton playsuit also from People Tree (£28) is perfect for the beach, the pub, festivals, holiday - need any more excuses to indulge?!
I love this layered blouse (£42), a casual and summery take on the classic white shirt, and it is perfect for work and play! From People Tree, it's made in Bangladesh from handwoven cotton.

Appease the rain gods (or goddesses!) with a stylish homage in the shape of this lovely little Umbrella vest top from People Tree (£32). Team with these organic classic skinnies by Monkee Genes, from Ascension (£50).
Facts: People Tree: organic cotton dress, £48, organic cotton playsuit, £28, layered handwoven cotton blouse £42, Umbrella vest top, £32. Ascension: Monkee Genes in organic cotton, £50.
