DANCING POLKA WITH RUFFLES
“Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside”. Coco Chanel
From romantic blouses, tulip skirts to statement accessories and retro swimwear, the print is taking over in every form this season. Micro, maxi, coloured polka dots or mixed with other patterns, there is everything the heart could possibly desire.
“The best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you”. Coco Chanel
There was a time when bright colours where considered appropriate only for young women and middle aged women were expected to keep it subdued by wearing pastels. But all that has changed in the past few years. With colour blocking and neon colours being in vogue, bold colours are now in everybody’s wardrobe.
“I don’t think there is ever a wrong time for a polka dot”. Marc Jacobs.
With the ever-growing trends that consume the catwalk and high street, it can be quite overwhelming to stay up to date and even more to keep replenishing my wardrobe. Every season there is a new trend that experiences its huge comeback, so the next big thing isn’t always easy to predict.
From Marilyn Monroe’s signature spotty swimwear to Kate Moss’s polka dot party wear, cute dots are strongly coming back in fashion, much to Cruella De Vil’s delight!

Lace, is undeniably one of the biggest trends this season. It has always had a romantic and feminine allure and its peek-a-boo effect can take you from looking innocent to provocative within seconds. There really isn’t any other fabric that can suggest so many different visual assumptions.

Since our anniversary is approaching fast I thought it would be nice to revisit our big day and share some of the precious memories and tips from our wedding. I find it hard to believe but it has been two years since I became a wife, time most definitely flies when you are having fun!

I’m so delighted that the pressure of looking younger is slowly being replaced with the desire to look rested and glowing. I’m a firm believer in updating my skincare, makeup and perfume with the season. It’s hard not to when our skin also changes with the weather. A more radiant, dewy skin has an undeniable youthful look.

The long-awaited summer has finally arrived! As much as I enjoy the temperature when I’m sat in the garden sipping a cocktail, enduring a sweaty commute to and from work can become a challenging mission that’s not for the faint-hearted.
“A girl should be two things: who and what she wants”. Coco Chanel
A jumpsuit is, without a doubt, a head to toe statement trend that creates an effortless striking iconic silhouette beyond a simple dress. However, badly chosen it can make you go from a fashion hero to a fashion zero.
