I absolutely adore Country Road, and was lucky enough to attend the brands Summer 2017 media day last week. As usual, the offering surprised, delighted and inspired.
Nobody could take their eyes off the adorable Country Road Caravan, which was fully-kitted out with the seasons must-have decor items.
The Caravan will be popping up all over the vibrant streets of Joburg, by the salty ocean of Durban and at Cape Town’s very own Sea Point promenade. Expect to be spoilt with delicious treats, from specially developed Country Road ice-lollies (these are BEYOND delicious) to the most flavourful coffee. Country Road invites you to head to the Caravan in your hometown, take some summer selfies, and stand a chance to win one of the many surprise giveaways at each destination.
Obvs I HAD to #TakeASelfie inside the colourful Country Road Caravan
The decor items on show really spoke to my aesthetic: simple, stylish and elegant, and I loved the subtle tones of lilac and grey interspersed with bold, very beautiful tropical motifs.
As per usual, I want EVERYTHING in the women’s collection.
Take a look below at my favourite looks and why I love them.
Every woman needs a great linen shift dress, and I love the sleeve details on this one. Also, the natural colour ensures you can dress it up or down. #MustHave
The look really speaks to me as it’s casual yet elegant. I love the fresh colour combo of the khaki trousers and crisp white T-shirt, paired with elegant black flat sandals.
Looking for an elegant ensamble that can take you from boardroom to bar without any fuss? I adore the jewel-like tone of these palazzo pants and cami, as well as the gorgeous silky fabric.
The Maxi dress is still trending, and I really like this off the shoulder version – perfectly styled with a round woven straw bag.
Below are my 4 must-have pieces from Country Road currently available online & in stores:
I’ve been on the hunt for a simple yet edgy bralette top in black (R699), and was thrilled to find the one above. It works perfectly with high waisted skirts, denim jeans or trousers.

It was love at first sight when I laid eyes on this gingham pencil skirt (R899), which I bought immediately (and wore to the opening night of SAFW last week). Dress it up for evening with a black top and heels, or dress it down for day with a cool pair of sneakers and white T-shirt.

Can you really have enough bags? I can’t, but ensure I always invest in the best quality. I prefer leather because it lasts for years and just gets better with wear. I love the simple elegance of this Molly Crossbody bag (1599).

I (try) to purchase one pair of shoes per season and always look for a style with an updated heel (these change year on year) or interesting shape. I LOVE the Millie Heel Sandal (R1299) in either black or neutral as the heel has a very edgy, on-trend vibe, while the style is so sophisticated.
