VINTAGE HOLIDAY LOOK & INSTAGRAMMABLE SPOTS IN LONDON

This is our official last week of August, and I can’t contain my excitement for Autumn. This red and white off-shoulder dress beauty, it’s probably the most complimented dress I own!  It’s such a standout piece! An ultra-feminine dress complete with a striped print, a belt for a more flattering fit and a matching necktie to accessorise the look. This dress is guaranteed to give you a glamorous 50’s vintage holiday look and enhance your holiday glow.

BOLD LOOKS TO KNOW THIS A/W20

“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!

SUMMER THROUGH A LACE LENS

“Fashion is made to become unfashionable”. Coco Chanel

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.

SUMMER BEAUTY UPDATE & PRODUCTS YOU NEED NOW

“There is no real beauty without some slight imperfection”. James Salter

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.

“A woman can be over dressed but never over elegant”. – Coco Chanel

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.
