One of our favourite online fashion boutiques, Monica & Joe recently celebrated their first birthday. We thought we’d have our own little party to celebrate the feat here at StyleNest by picking our top tips from the e-store’s Spring Summer 12 collections.
Whether you’re looking for a simple weekend tee, or a statement dress to see you through wedding season; Monica & Joe have plenty on offer from cult brands like Malene Birger to lesser known names like Valentine Gauthier.
Aqua Button Up Dress
By Stella Forest at Monica & Joe
Nailing the pastel trend in one statement piece, we love this peppermint coloured shirtdress. It just so happens to be Monica & Joe’s signature colour too – how appropriate.
Silver Throat Chakra Bracelet
By Daisy at Monica & Joe
This sweet Daisy bracelet will give your SS wardrobe an instant update. Invest in a rainbow of different colours to make more of a statement.
Red Slim Cropped Jeans
By MiH at Monica & Joe
Ditch the classic indigo for colour blocking red. Pair with a classic Breton for a chic and easy weekend look.
White Shirt
By Bruuns Bazaar at Monica & Joe
A classic white shirt is a must in every woman’s wardrobe. We love the small collar and slim fit of this shirt, as it’ll add a modish charm to skinnies or a skirt.
Shirt Sleeved Birkin Shirt
By MiH at Monica & Joe
Denim shirts were a big hit in the StyleNest office for AW11 but summer calls for something a little lighter. Luckily MiH have updated their classic Birkin shirt into summer appropriate light cotton and a shorter sleeve. Perfect with shorts or a more ladylike shirt, this shirt is sure to become a springtime staple.
Peacock Green Leather Skirt
By Malene Biger at Monica & Joe
Racing green gives this leather skirt a more modern vibe. Pair with a silk tee, a statement necklace and patent heels for tough luxe cocktail look.
Longshore Military Parka
By Pyrus at Monica & Joe
The sun may be shining but those inevitable rain showers are sure to rear their ugly head sooner or later. Take shelter with this military lightweight parka – perfect with jeans and Converse or thrown over a floral summer dress.
Grey & White Chiffon Scarf With Pink Horses
By Simeon Farrar at Monica & Joe
This light summer scarf allows you to invest in a little piece of this season’s neon trend and brighten up a plain white tee all in one.
Nude Pleated Skirt
By Stella Forest at Monica & Joe
Pair this chic nude skirt with a lace top or sheer blouse for a modern ladylike look.
Floral Shirt
By Valentine Gauthier at Monica & Joe
Add some retro glamour to your holiday wardrobe with this Hawaiian inspired shirt. Make sure you visit our competitions page to be in with a chance of winning this entire outfit worth over £320.
Printed Puzzle Trousers
By Pyrus at Monica & Joe
Printed trousers were all over the SS12 collections from Stella McCartney to Jil Sander. This monochrome print gives a subtle nod to the trend but can be dressed up with a bright tee or mix and matched with clashing prints.
Suede Green Shoes
By Malene Birger at Monica & Joe
These bright green shoes will add a flash of colour to the skinny jeans, white tee and blazer that seems to get us from AW to SS each year.
