Christian Dior, Couturier Du Rêve (Dream Couturier) is taking over Paris museum Les Arts decoratifs to celebrate Diors 70th anniversary. Expanded over 3000 square meters, the extensive exhibition features designs from the Christian Dior founder himself as well as the six designers who followed. Opening the exhibition is a midi red dress with a shirt style […]
As we know it, florals couldn’t be any less groundbreaking for spring/summer, but this season designers from Gucci to Ashish have been enhancing the flower and other simple motifs into lavishly extravagant pieces of embroidery to adorn their designs. Most designers seem to have opted for pastel colours, adhering to traditional spring/summer expectations. Jason Wu exuberantly used embroidery, […]
There’s something quite luxurious about wearing ruffles and frills during summer. The way the fabric gently falls, rhythmically yet in a somewhat calming manor perhaps is alike to those chilled summer vibes where the breeze lightly blows through the leaves in the trees and the sea serenely laps over the sand. I liked the dynamics […]
With September fast approaching, the all-exciting back-to-school/college/uni shopping haul is almost upon us. I’ve always loved the annual stationary spree, but adding homely bits and pieces to the mix for the uni room makes the occasion all the more fun. Stationary: Mini Pegs – Wilko, Cardboard Desk Tidy – Wilko, Plastic Note Books – Paperchase, Rose Gold Star Push Pins […]
Beautifully gathered along the neckline, the soft, light fabric of this bardot top falls gently, cascading downwards; it creates the kind of style that flutters delicately in the breeze and bounces elegantly in response to your movement. Bell sleeves fashion a dignified feel as they, too, ripple with motion. This flared style sleeve works so flatteringly as its greatness envelopes the […]
Just in case you haven’t yet noticed, shops everywhere, both online and on the highstreet, have some pretty major sales on. With August well under way, the summer may seem like it’s coming to an end, but the mid-season summer sales are the ideal time to bag some fabulous bargains for next year, not to […]
Okay. Yes. I’ll admit it; I’m obsessed with A-line skirts. Completely and utterly, totally, obsessed. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the way they cinch the waist and flare outwards creates such a flattering silhouette, their structured shape forming a complementary tone. The intricacy of this aztec printed skirt from New Look […]
A flowing shape, a simple structure, a soft silhouette; designers from Givenchy to Mother of Pearl were translating provocative nightgowns to classy daywear for the current SS16 season. Spaghetti straps support a dress constructed from merely a front and back block piece; just one seam on either side. The fabric therefore hangs loosely over the body, […]
Easy to style, comfortable and practical with no worries of any sudden gusts of wind which accompany those dress and skirt days, it has to be said that playsuits are my absolute summer essential. The current vertical stripe trend is one I’m particularly enjoying, completely working in my petite framed favour by illusions of lengthened […]
With the UK weather still not up to scratch and the summer holiday season in full swing, I admittedly got rather excited about the idea of not having to consider sleeves over every strap and tights under every skirt. Sun, sun and more sun – what could possibly be better? If you follow my insta and […]
