The weather is picking up and we're slowly but surely ditching the tights.

We're bringing back out the linen pants, light cardigans and summer shoes as we get ready for longer evenings and warmer days (fingers crossed - all is looking hopeful so far!) And so, we're stocking up on some shoes that give our feet a well-needed break from boots and these espadrilles are the perfect transition. Ideal for teaming with culottes, trousers or jeans, we love the choice of colour and wrap tie of these shoes, elongating your leg. For €16 a pair, these shoes come in red, black and cream - making them the perfect price and variation of shades to pop one pair on for work and one into your suitcase. We adore them! And speaking of holidays, Penneys SS19 collection has us raring to hop on the plane and fly away. We have fallen head over heels for this yellow-and-white striped playsuit, a piece that we know we will be packing for our summer vacation. Seriously, how cute would this be walking towards the beach? Or for a day of exploring whatever city you're going to be visiting? The retailer showcased the playsuit on Instagram on Saturday, captioning the snap:

"Taking inspiration from '50s stripes and silhouettes."

We are loving the accessories they have paired it with for Instagram, too: the gold slide-on sandals and that gorgeous over-the-shoulder bag. Or you could trade the slide-ons for a pair of trainers or wedges, depending what kind of vacation you're going for. Either way, definitely a vacation must-have.
