Mint Velvet #StyleSeekers

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman
Jumper: Bella Freud at Net A Porter. Shorts: £49, Mint Velvet. Shoes: £89, Mint Velvet. Nails: Jessica Nails ‘Caviar Dreams’ , by Lucy Sharman

Everyday basics, something I’ve been moving towards recently – a more streamlined wardrobe. This outfit sums it up for me: easy, wearable but stylish.

I’m excited to say that Mint Velvet asked me, alongside other bloggers (favourite Freddie from I Go By Frankie, new style crush Alexis from Style Memos and good friend Anneli from What I Bought Today) to be part of their #MVStyleSeekers collective – my advice and top picks from Mint Velvet can be seen on their blog now. But I can let you know now that the shorts and espadrilles in this shot are the most comfortable pieces I put on all day – I’ve never owned heeled espadrilles but maybe it’s about time I did? Also love the flat ones…

£69, Mint Velvet

And yes, I’m in white skinny jeans! Think oversized shirt and sunnies for airport wear? I’m all in…

Suede jacket: £259.  T-shirt: £49. Jeans: £69. Sandals: £79, all Mint Velvet

Obviously I’m not a model but I think these photos captured me in a more relaxed environment – the photographer was very patient with me!

      Lovely to hear – I'd not worn much in the past, so it was lovely to be introduced to the brand – and the espadrilles are so comfy! xx
