What's Your Flavour? Matching Summer's Sweetest Treats to Your Wardrobe
There is nothing quite like that first proper sun-drenched afternoon of the year. The air is warm, the mood is light, and suddenly, we are all craving two very specific things: a cool scoop of gourmet ice cream and a fresh wardrobe update.
At Melanie Bond Boutique in Dromore, we believe fashion should feel like a treat. This season, our S/S collection is absolutely bursting with delicious hues, airy fabrics, and handmade jewellery to top it all off.
To help you find your perfect summer look, we paired our favorite boutique arrivals with the ultimate ice cream flavours of the season, all sourced from our favourite local scoop shop, Graham’s.
What are you ordering?
1. Vanilla vibes
If you’re a classic vanilla, you will know that this flavour is anything but bland. Relaxed, cool and luxurious, nothing beats the original.
- The Look: A breezy, relaxed-fit bubble-hem top paired with light-weight trousers. It feels practically weightless on warm afternoons.
- Mel’s Styling Tip: Keep the earthy vibe going. Pair this crisp cream with a layered Wearable Truth necklaces to add a warm, sun-kissed glow to the outfit.
2. Keep it fresh with mint-choc-chip
Perfect for those 'after-eight' moments, mint-choc chip is cool, classy and chic. Lean in to greens and blues to refresh and revive.
- The Look: Turn heads in our top-selling dark wash Toxik jeans.
- Mel’s Styling Tip: Long necklaces look great layered over light flowing tops.
3. Beach ready with bubblegum
Not for the faint-hearted, bubblegum’s vibrant blue and arresting flavour always make a statement.
- The Look: Our Paisley Print Stretch Empire Line Dress provides just the right amount of lightweight warmth while keeping your look beautifully soft and feminine.
- Mel’s Styling Tip: This dreamy blue pairs beautifully with silver tones. Finish the look with a delicate, bespoke silver wire "Love" pendant from our Wearable Truth collection to keep the sentiment sweet.
