I may be an autumn/winter person, but I really enjoy shopping for the holidays. I try to pack as light as possible and enjoy handpicking the perfect capsule wardrobe for my destination. City breaks are fun, but when I’m browsing for some laid-back Mediterranean style on the rails, my wallet gets very anxious. Thankfully, this year, I found a dress that’s perfect for strolling down cobblestone streets and sipping cocktails on the beach. Even better, the dress is from high street heroes H&M and cost me very little. I’ve been trying to buy less fashionable clothes in recent years, but when I find a dress that I really think I’ll wear many times and it feels like it’s of good enough quality that it won’t lose its shape after one wash, I can justify changing my initial mind. I can confirm that this dress fits that criteria – it’s timeless, I’ve washed it a few times and it still looks like new. So if you’re in the market for one too, this is it.White cotton dress from H&M featuring a strapless neckline, two layers of embroidered frills and a charming flared skirt. We all love white summer dresses because they’re so easy to style in hot weather. Simply pair them with canvas shoes and a straw bag for lunch with friends, or with cool trainers and a light blazer for all summer in the city.
