Marianne’s shopping picks
Ganni Knit Tank Dress, €365
Wedding season is here, dress up with gold statement jewellery and a minimal heel and the look is complete. Adore!
COS Oversized Trench, €175
I have my eye on this green trench. Keep it simple and pair with a black straight leg jean, sandal and a black tank for those cooler summer days.
COS Top, €39
It may look simple but you can never have too many basic t-shirts. Dress this up with a classic pair of black cigarette pants and a heel for an evening look or dress it down with slouchy jeans. Effortless and classy in one.
COS Shoulder Bag, €175
Oversized bags are everywhere this season and this COS bag ticks all the right boxes.
& Other Stories Half Zip Sweater, €99
This is like Khaite but without the price tag. Pair with a pair of Bermuda shorts during the summer months and layer up with a trench come autumn/winter. You can’t go wrong with a half zip knit.
