Topshop Holiday Accessories

The summer holidays are nearly here! Whether you are going away, or planning lots of nice daytrips closer to home, there’s an accessory out there for you.

Topshop are absolutely fantastic for accessories. Their costume jewellery is great quality and there’s something for everyone.

Remember how much a necklace or accessory can lift an outfit and add that final, polished touch. When I see an outfit without an accessory, it looks incomplete.

Here are some ideas to whet your appetite.

You can’t beat layered jewellery for a boho, summer vibe. Layered, multirow necklaces look great on any neckline and any body shape.

“Multi-Drop Engraved Neckline” – £12.50

“Multirow Tusk & Charm Necklace” – £14.50

The Fan Fringe collar necklace has been a favourite with my clients this Spring/Summer, and it’s an instant pop of colour to brighten up the plainest of tops. Try wearing with a breton tee and a big pair of sunnies.

“Fan Fringe Collar Necklace” – £14.50

If you prefer something more understated, this Oliver Bonas inspired necklace would look great with a white tee, vest, or summer dress.

“Abstract Necklace” – £14.50

The Earring has made a comeback this season. I have always worn big, colourful earrings as I find them so flattering for the face. If you have a long face, like me, try wearing a wide earring to add width, not length to your face. If you have a round face, wear earrings with angular, geometric shapes to sharpen your features.

Blue “Flower & Tassel Earrings” – £22.50

Orange “Tassel Drop Earrings” – £12.50

“Engraved Drop Earrings” – £10.00

A headband is the most stylish way to keep your hair off your face in the summer. You can still have a greasy, 3 day old messy bun, but add a hair scarf or turban, and you’ve gone from oil slick to oh so chic, in seconds.

“Multi Print Turban” – £12.50

Update a tote bag, denim jacket or t-shirt with these iron on patches. Lots of designs to choose from online, but these two are my favourites.

“Pineapple Iron On Patch” – £5

“Elephant Iron On Patch” – £6.50

I love this bag – it screams ‘holiday’ and is big enough to chuck everything in, from your phone, suncream, wipes, snacks and toys for the kids. It’s chic and more stylish than your usual “Mum bag”.

“Raffia Zigzag Shopper Bag” – £29.00

It wouldn’t be a Susie post without a bumbag mentioned! This one is great because it’s casual enough for daytime, when all you need is your purse, cash and lippy. It also works well as a day to evening bag as the mirror embellishments take it from ‘tourist’ to ‘trendy’. Warning, you will spend all day feeling like you have forgotten your bag!

This one is full price, but they also do the Mint and Lilac ones which are only £7 in the sale.
