Unless you've been living under a not-so-fashionable rock, you probably already know and follow Studio B on Instagram. Started by fashion buyer Bethany Rowntree six years ago, Studio B was once an online treasure trove of a store that Bethany hand-curated, showcasing small and emerging fashion brands that she loved herself and knew her customer base would love, too. Fast forward to 2023 and Bethany rebranded the online shopping destination as a social-first platform, becoming a directory of fabulous pieces and brands that she shares daily with her 60,000 followers and ample Substack readers. With years of buying expertise under her belt and a loyal audience who can't wait to see what she finds next, who better to share their summer 2024 wish list? Bethany, the floor is yours

Wow, how are we at the end of March already? January really dragged and then boom! The year speeds up. Hopefully, this means we're due some warm weather soon I don't know about you, but I'm longing for some real spring sunshine now. And with that in mind, this month, I'm fantasising about my warm-weather wardrobe.

With a new season on the horizon, I'm thinking about the S/S 24 trends that have real staying power and how to shop them in a way that's authentic to my personal style. Which I guess means a mix of high-low, with some timeless, season-less pieces that I'll love forever and a sprinkling of swoon-worthy 'I have to have it' buys that scream sunshine. Obviously, there'll be plenty of colour, which is good as I can see colour-blocking being big this year. I used to be such a print queen, but more recently I've gone off them a little. However, I do have some rose-inspired pieces for you; as I mentioned in last month's column, roses and rosettes are looking to be the bows of the summer.

So, without further ado, scroll on to discover the three trends I've picked out for the season (and year) ahead, and then shop the pieces I'm loving. It is my birthday month too, so if any of my friends and family are reading this, take this list as a big hint!

1. Bright Sets

Style Notes: I've always loved a matching set, and not just for the warmer months (double denim is my winter version of a co-ord). I'm now ready to emerge from my denim cocoon and float around in something lighter and brighter, like a butterfly, if you will. Sets aren't exactly new, but I can see them being bigger this year, especially as we seem to be favouring separates over dresses at the moment (hasn't it been hard to find a great dress recently? Don't worry though, I've found you some of those too).

2. A Pop of Red

Style Notes: I think we already know red is going to be huge this seasonwe saw it coming through during winter (I've always said that red is for life, not just for Christmas!). Bright red is a perfect pop of colour for summer, but I also think a full colour-block look (or colour-drenching, if you're in the interiors world), in any shade is going to be the way to go this season.

3. Statement Florals

Style Notes: Roses, rosettes, 3D flowers, embellishments I know, I know'Florals for spring' and all that. But I'm not talking about a ditsy floral print, which I'm rather over. These flowers are bigger, better and here to make a statement.
