Style Theory: A day watching the tennis in Wimbledon is one of my big summer treats. Champagne, Pimms and Strawberries and chance sit down to watch the Tennis in an atmospheric court...what more could a slightly worn out Mum ask for...?!

I lived in Wimbledon for a long time so I love popping back and strolling up to the village for Brunch...

Then a leisurely walk down to the Wimbledon LTA

And some drinks and tennis!

I am loving Kim Sear's, Andy Murray's girlfriend's, style at Wimbledon this year, we saw her walking past and she was looking extremely chic and polished as always, this dress looked lovely on:

It is All White.....

Style Theory: It's high summer and it is all about White....

Maybe it was my trip to Wimbledon yesterday or just the fact that there is so much white in the shops but I am just loving the all white look. I have not dared wear white for years (approx 7..) because I have always been surrounded by the little ones however, this summer I am making an exception and will ride with the potential of sticky handprints...

Here is style inspiration behind my switch to the white side..

Now for the best on the high street:

Topshop Dress £110

Hobbs Evie dress now £134

Velvet @LuxeLayers Galazy Blouse now £101.50

& Other Stories Silk Mix Blouse £65

Zara Poplin Crossover Top £19.99

Whistles Sequin Top £135

Topshop Lace panel Tee £38

Oasis Skirt £50

Topshop Knitted Rib Jumper £38

River Island Skorts £28

Topshop Culottes £50

Topshop White Ripped Leigh Jeans £38

Next White Toe Cap Ballerinas £25

KG Espadrilles £75

White Backpack New Look £19.99

It is most definitely all about white on white, I like a touch of pale grey (a pale grey scarf or belt) or black or a breton thrown in the mix. Layer up your whites, balance floaty boho tops with slim fitting/skinny white jeans or wear with shorts. If going for the culotte or palazzo pant try to keep tops as neat fitting and structured as possible. Only white looks simple, elegant and stylish..are you brave enough?

My Style over the past couple of days:

As near as I have got to wearing white so far..but I am converting myself!:

Dress: H&M
Jacket: Warehouse
Trainers: Stan Smith Adidas

I am just loving culottes at the moment, seriously practical, comfortable and cool in the heat...I bought these See by Chloe ones below from a fab website called EditSecondHand, it is really worth having a look as they have some beautiful second hand designer clothes and accessories for a fraction of the price they are new in the shops...I have my eye on a pair of Jimmy Choos next!

Denim shirt: Gap
See by Chloe culottes: editsecondhand.com
Shoes: H&M
Bag:TK Maxx

For fun in the park in the sunshine with the little dude:

Shirt: Gap
Shorts: Gap
Trainers: Stan Smith Adidas

Are you a fan of the all white look...have you embraced it this summer?
