I attended the next ‘Hi Summer 2014’ press preview in the chic Cliff Townhouse in Dublin city centre recently. Next is my go-to for office-wear but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by what they have in-store for SS14.

So I always buy my work suits in next, there is something about the tailoring and sublime fit of their office-wear collection which make it my work wardrobe go-to. I had anticipated that this press preview would be a little more casual given what SS14 holds for us and was pretty excited to view the collection. You might remember I was due to attend the next bloggers network workshop in London last year but unfortunately bad weather prevailed and I was unable to make the trip. So I was delighted to finally meet the amazing press team who I have been in touch with for a while.

The collection is all about prints and pastels. I fell in love with the colourful t-shirt dress in the first image above. How perfect is this for a Summer night out? I am even visualising wearing it with sandals for a saytime Summer look. I also really liked the luxe-sportswear items (need to add some of these to my wardrobe).

The homeware collection is truly inspired by the seaside. I think it’s definitely time for a holiday 🙂

I was kindly gifted some cute accessories from the collection. I will be featuring the miniature red satchel in an upcoming outfit post and the perspex sunnies are just what I need right now!
