Golden hour

Summer means stripes, crisp white pants and golden accessories. I picked my must-have Michael Kors watch for the Summer, the glamourous Brecken. It is just the perfect choice to go with all my Summer outfits and make them stand out. 

Cast in golden tone, the oversize case has a marked bezel, chronograph sub dials and also date function to give this watch a sporty but also stylish take. 

The Brecken is such a chic watch it will be definetely my watch of choice to pack for my Summer holiday.

 It looks great with fresh stripes and whites as you can see from this outfit but also with a colourful tunic for a day of sight-seeing, it is truly the accessory of the season!

Pair it with a  baby blue bag to give a bright touch to an all white look and on the beach or in the city all eyes will be on the Brecken. 

The pastel of this crossbody bag paired with gold-tone accessories makes for an über chic summer outfit!

Aviators are definetely another essential for Summer so be jet set ready and  be sure to have them on your summer must-have list!
