Style Notes: Bettina’s hat is from the brand every fashion editor wants to get their hands on right now: Albus Lumen.

Style Notes: Lace-up swimsuits are where it’s at, and those by Mango’s Violeta range are carefully considered for all shapes. The one favoured by Charlotte Kuhrt also comes in black.
