The one item that is certain to be found in my closet is stripes. Whether for winter or summer, a top or a dress, stripes are my go-to classic choice paired with jeans, skirts and in this case, a simple denim jacket and sandals. So when I was invited to partner with London based clothing designer Reiss, who has clothed one of my style inspirations – the Duchess of Cambridge – as well as other celebrities with their modern, chic, sophisticated style, I gravitated toward their Gem Stripe Blue Shift dress immediately.

Having had the opportunity this last summer to stop into their Barrett Street boutique and do a bit of dreaming, and having purchased other items which I love and wear regularly, it is their clean-cut, classic, yet contemporary designs that I love and can easily integrate into my capsule wardrobe.
