It's Pay Day! Here is Everything the Marie Claire Team is Buying

I love a pop of colour for summertime, and paired with a cotton poplin midi dress, this bandeau top will take me seamlessly from the ocean to lunch.

This midi skirt has a flattering and versatile shape, making it a hardworking staple that I can easily style with all my shoes and jackets.

I never travel in summer without a comfortable pair of flats. These chic butter yellow ones are beautifully made and so versatile I can wear them with everything I own.

This chic but practical Zimmermann bag is the perfect holiday purchase that is enough of a statement piece to wear in the city too.

The AGOLDE Summer collection is full of seriously good wardrobe staples. So good in fact, it’s making me depart from usual dark hued palette. The Torres jacket in Khaki, based on the traditional Harrington jacket, is the perfect transitional piece that will see me through right into winter.

Gucci’s Pre-Fall drop has just landed on MyTheresa, and unsurprisingly, there are several add-to-basket contenders. These oval frames were an instant “yes”—chunky, contemporary, and a fresh update on a classic silhouette.

When it comes to good linen Massimo Dutti always delivers. Style and quality? Consistently excellent. This slim-fit shirt comes in multiple colourways and is best worn a touch oversized for that relaxed, sun-drenched ease.

I’ve recently rekindled my love for the Dr Dennis Gross skincare pads—sometimes your skin just needs that kind of reset. This version pairs the brand’s iconic Alpha Beta exfoliating formula with a proprietary blend of DHA to deliver a believable, golden glow. The ultimate multitasking staple.

I have faith that summer will return for August and September, which is why this SIR dress is in my basket. It's timeless, and requires minimal styling - I'm sold.

New season, new handbag right? Which is why this Chloé bag is going straight in my basket. I rarely buy black bags but the chain detail adds just the right level of detail for me to take the plunge.

My love affair with harem trousers is long-standing. An Alaia pair in pink taffeta has been on my wish list for a while, but there are some great styles on the High Street too. This denim pair is perfect for Autumn, and slightly more practical.

You will rarely see me in trainers, however this bright yellow pair in satin finish feel elevated enough for me to wear with my silk slips and mini dresses.

When it comes to sunglasses, I’m firmly in the camp of “the bigger the better”. This Phoebe Philo pair is top of my current wish-list. Dramatically oversized, they’ll effortlessly upgrade any look, while their unique smoky grey-brown shade makes them all the cooler.

Monday Swimwear has been my summertime saviour for years now—both for bikinis that actually fit my big boobs, and cover-ups that give luxury resortwear vibes without the gigantic price-tag. I’m currently eyeing the stripy Taormina dress for my next Italian getaway.

Marie Claire contributor Lauren Cunningham’s article on the rise of bubble-hem skirts convinced me I need to try one myself. This simple white style is the perfect point of entry into the trend.

Beaded necklaces are everywhere right now, and they don’t come much chicer than Maya Brenner’s new Endless Summer collection. Each design features colours inspired by holiday hotspots, so this Capri style will act as a much-needed reminder of sun-soaked days on the Amalfi Coast.

This summer, I've been wearing my staple white tank tops almost daily. However, as we approach the end of summer, I've been seeking an elevated option to refresh my usual rotation. This pointelle version trimmed with French lace is exactly that.

Another early payday treat; I've been wearing these harem trousers non-stop. Partly because of their stylish silhouette, but mainly for their effortless comfort.

These hoops are by far my most complimented pair of earrings. Featuring an orange jade donut as an additional attachment, they are an ideal 2-in-1 pair of earrings.

This year, I've been on a quest to invest in high-quality jewellery pieces to enhance my everyday ring collection, so eyeing Rachel Boston's designs has been essential. This dotted halo band looks perfectly polished when layered under a chunky ring or worn alone.

This is definitely a transitional weather investment, but it's never too early in my book. I love the oversized fit of this rugby shirt and can see it pairing perfectly with denim when it's cool enough to be in thicker jeans again. It also has enough room for layering later in the year—a win-win.

I've fallen in love with these jorts since spotting them in our styling piece, and I can't believe they're only £18 at the moment. The wide leg fit makes them so effortlessly cool as well as comfortable, and I can already envision countless ways to style them for summer and autumn.

I missed out on the last Cecilie Bahnsen collaboration and have regretted it ever since. I couldn't wait until payday for these and risk them selling out, so they're already in my possession. I feel like every month I'm searching for some new trainers that really feel like they fit my style, and these are truly it. They're so comfortable, so unique, and have brought in countless compliments in the week of me owning them.

A good oversized belt truly has the power to make any outfit, and this one comes at a great price point for 100% leather.

I've been eyeing up sheer polka skirts for a while, ever since I saw someone walk past me with the best outfit in. I wanted to find one that wasn't super sheer so could be worn in different situations like the office without it feeling too naked. 

This is technically cheating as I have already bought this for as a (big) birthday present for myself; but the Toteme T-Lock clutch is the perfect bag for every day activities as well as a perfect going out bag. During the day I wear as a crossbody, but you can cross the straps so it becomes a shoulder bag and the evening I take the straps off entirely so its a clutch! The size is perfect, it fits all your essentials easily. 

This dress from Zara is giving 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' so its hard to resist, especially considering that I've got a couple weddings coming up in August. This would make the perfect wedding guest outfit. 

I find trainers incredibly hard to buy, I wear them on repeat with the last ones I bought being 2 years ago so it is definitely time for a new year. The New Balance 471's feel like a really fresh style of trainer that is sleek and understated that haven't been seen everywhere yet.
