Madelaine Top - Kate
Made in Northern California
Organic Cotton Voile
This sweetly tiered top is so elegant and would look cute paired with either black or vintage denim shorts or skirts. Aside from helping the environment by using organic cotton, Kate also plants a tree for every garment sold (through Trees for the Future). The Madelaine top is available in cloud, lilac or summer night colours.
Purchase at The Greenloop for $162
Strapless Puffball Top - Round London
Made in UK
Reclaimed fabrics
You can order this 'summer music festival ready' puffball top above or have something similar made with your own fabrics. Just send a garment you already own and wish to alter to Round London and it could be transformed into a dainty summer top like the two featured in today's post.
Purchase at Round London £35
Amate Top - Zelaya
Handmade in San Salvador
Organic Cotton Knit
When you wear this gorgeous top out and about you better make the streets your catwalk because this top deserves 360 degree pirouettes, swivels and poses that involve facing your back to whoever you are with and peering coyly over the shoulder (not practical, I know but essential when wearing a top like this). The fabulous and intricate leafy detail has been made from the remnant fabric from the top. So special!
Purchase at Etsy (Zelaya) for $68
Centre Pleat Top - People Tree
Made in India (IFAT)

Purchase at People Tree for £20
Tory Top - Toggery by Kate D'Arcy
Made in the USA
Organic Supima Cotton
This top has Miami written all over it! The racer back design gives it a casual yet glam look and makes it very wearable for either day or evening.
Available in sun, hot, violet, storm, cocoa or white.

Second Hand Silk Floral Print Top - Diane Von Furstenburg
If you want to slip into a little designer number this summer, why not try this second hand floral DVF? It's a Size 6, is in 'very good condition', likes long walks on the beach and summer holidays in Capri!
Purchase at Oxfam for £49.99
Second Hand Black Frill Top - Zara
Please forgive this pantless pick! Hopefully you can overlook the shameless mannequin and focus on the prettiness (and price) of this lightweight black Zara top.
Zara undoubtedly have some luscious pieces but I'm not tempted to start purchasing from the high street again just yet. No, I intend to scour Oxfam's website instead to find some second hand Zara deposits! I had a peek in the Zara store in Brussels yesterday (I was accompanying my mum and wasn't in there for myself - honest) and was quite fashion inspired! I got a lot of new fashion ideas (colour combos, outfit ideas and trends) just by browsing and not buying!
Purchase at Oxfam for £6.99 (size M)
Strapless Bandeau Top - Round London
Made in UK
Reclaimed fabrics
Bandeau tops always look boho chic during summer and this Round London design is no exception. If you're not looking to buy a bandeau top at the moment though, why not try getting creative with some skirts you already own? Just pull them up to wear as a long top or dress and if it looks too baggy, wear a belt for a little waist definition.
Purchase at Round London £35
Caoba Top - Zelaya
Handmade in San Salvador
Organic Cotton Knit
Another sumptuous design from Zelaya that can be worn with leaves to the front or back.
Purchase at Etsy (Zelaya) for $69
