Apricot stores are in pretty much every shopping centre worth it’s salt across the UK and I for one love their peachy pieces, as does my lovely Mum. So much so that when they asked me to choose my fave arrivals from their new Spring/Summer collection and style up some inspo in time for Mothers day, I didn’t have to think twice.
We might be waving off the back end of a hurricane right now in the UK, but Spring is undoubtedly on its way and the new season styles have dropped already.
I love these oriental floral print chinos, they are so versatile and great for dressing up either with a towering heel or going smart casual with a comfy sandal or pump. The best thing about them is that you can pick out virtually any of the gorgeous tones from them and match your top easily. Or chuck on a staple black number and you are good to go!
I opted for this marl batwing top in stone which cleverly has a detachable necklace, plus I picked up an alternative statement piece for those times when an extra bit of bling is required! Team it with a chic faux-suede coatigan – my fave addition to the style palette – for those days when there’s still a nippy little chill in the air.
I’m already feeling quite nautical for this coming Spring, I loved these navy numbers…such a great but practical alternative to black! My absolute fave is this Nay & White colour block skater dress, ideal for Ladies Day at Ascot with a big fat badass hat and a pair of killer Louboutins!
Now for Mother’s Day lunch, I can see my mum in any of these tops, she really suits khaki, it’s a great trans-seasonal colour and looks so smart teamed with black or navy skinnies and a classic oversize shopper or tote. The drape of this stylish grey tunic top is so forgiving, it will allow for a slap up lunch and you will still look sleek.
The sky is the limit with Apricot’s new collection and I’m thrilled to say I’m collaborating with them to offer you all the chance to win a whopping £100 voucher to spend in Apricot online. Treat your mum for Mothers Day or yourself, the choice is yours! Enter via the Rafflecopter below and good luck! What’s your fave piece from the new collection?
