Spring Flings with Chiara Merullo
Spring and the promise of opportunity is finally here. The days are getting longer, the sky is getting brighter and there is the glimmer of hope on the horizon. Now we can start to plan and prep for the future, what is tempting you out of hibernation? We speak to our expert insider, Chiara Merullo, to see what her ultimate spring picks would be.
SILK COCOON EARRINGS
“I am lover of colour at the best of times but now more than ever, I want to embrace the bright and beautiful. Having forgone jewellery for so long, these light and fluttery earrings are just the ticket. The fuscia pink is a total standout - I hope it will provide some much-needed colour against my pasty skin.”
SANDRA WOVEN NAPKIN RINGS
“Al fresco dining is something I’m planning much more of, but that means I have to think logically as well as aesthetically. My Matilda Goade napkins won’t last long in the English breeze without these Sandra napkin rings to - quite literally - pull them together. Thankfully, these are just as pleasing to the eye as they are practical.”
NARINO WOVEN TOTE
“I don’t think I’m the only one to be won over by this tote-tally delightful basket bag. Of course, it will be first on my packing list for my long-awaited beach holiday but in the meantime its going to be the sneaky provider of many a Mary Poppins-style park-bench picnic.”
WAYUU POM POM TASSELS
“No matter the season, these always manage to tempt me. They’re quite simply the ultimate pick-me-up, adding a bit of flair to anything and everything. I’ve already got the red and orange hanging against a navy blue door but I think a lighter cream could be the perfect addition to my collection.”
