I brought some incredible Chanel pieces with me to Ibiza and have been so excited to shoot them, especially now that the sun is finally shining here. We moved hotels at the weekend and have a wonderfully cinematic view from our room which felt like the perfect setting for an impromptu shoot.
I always love to layer when styling Chanel and their swimsuits are no different. These two are from the SS21 Coco Beach collection and though they are completely different, they are both so chic (in true Chanel style!).

For the first look, I decided to keep things minimal and monochrome in keeping with the sleek design of this one-shouldered black swimsuit. Here, I added my Chanel statement logo earrings, bucket hat and oversized sunnies. This sunglass style is named the ‘butterfly’ and actually have tiny sequins on the frames which sparkle when the sunlight catches them.
I also loved how my little experiment turned out with my belt bag for this outfit. These are actually two separate Chanel pieces: my tweed belt bag which I unclipped from its original leather belt and added to my crystal diamante skinny logo belt. I think it worked out so well as the black swimsuit is quite feminine given the bow detail, so the original block-coloured belt bag could have been too heavy for the look on it’s own. What do you guys think?

The second swimsuit look I styled was this summer cut-out printed number in a navy and white colourway. For casual day trips out, I would pair this with white distressed denim shorts and layer with an oversized white shirt. I love how the print incorporates not only the interlocking ‘CC’ logo but also the iconic Chanel camellia flower, so there is always a part of the print that catches your eye.
