I'm a firm believer that a girl can never have too many sunnies, so when the team at Layoners got in touch to introduce us to their range of super stylish sunglasses for men and women, we couldn't wait to try some of their latest styles!

The Slovenian brand is inspired by catwalk fashion in Milan and street style in New York - two of the hottest fashion epicentres in the world.  Their collections are bang on trend and feature both retro and futuristic styles, providing a wealth of different options to sport. 

I'm wearing the 'Wild Girl' model, which gives off some serious vintage vibes. I love the tortoiseshell detailing and the gorgeous purple hued lenses with a hint of blue trim at the base of the frame.   The oversize style hides a wealth of sins, which is a godsend for a tired momma who wants to look glam even if she hasn't had a full night's sleep!  Although my travelling is on hiatus for a while thanks to lockdown, I can already see myself wearing these on a sun lounger while sipping on a frosty cocktail with a good book in hand!

My husband, Brad, opted for the Layoners Black Advantage, (€,32.99) a more futuristic style with classic black frames and sleek, silver sides, making this style both timeless and modern.   I personally think he's giving James Bond a run for his money, but I'm a little biased.

With Spring comes pastels and nothing goes better with pastel clothing than neutral and metallic accessories.  We've selected our favourite classic women's watches that will look great with pretty much anything given their chic and subtle design.

There's nothing toastier or more indulgent that cashmere when the temperatures start to drop. We've rounded up our favourite cashmere items to keep your cockles warm this autumn.

Because regular hoodies don't scream luxe, we reckon everyone needs a cashmere hoodie.  This little number from Luca Faloni, made by artisans in Northern Italy, is chic and cosy.  Stone Grey Pure Cashmere Hoodie,  £275 from Luca Faloni.

There's nothing worse than freezing either when you're working away in your office or jetting off on an airplane. We love the stylish range of wraps from The Travel Wrap Company, which are knitted with sustainably sourced fibres of the finest quality, at a centuries-old mill located in the Scottish Borders. 

For everyone's favourite autumn activity of watching Netflix curled up on the sofa (or wait is that just us?), you can't go wrong with a luxurious cashmere throw. Cableknit cashmere and Merino blanket by Dot and Tom, available at Notonthehighstreet.com, £270.
