Prints that talk

Have you ever come across a fantastic fashion piece that speaks for itself? That the instant you see it you know you have to get it and create outfits around it? The same happened when we stumbled upon this Picasso-inspired printed dress by Oscar de la Renta. Its shape, its loud and unique print and the easy to match color palette make it a winner to be imported into your wardrobe regardless of its final use. Such an item is original enough to create edgy and modern outfits around it yet its classic shape allows for more polished pieces to complement it in a chic way.

Which other pieces have you found that are instant wardrobe must-haves?

Back to basics: The knotted trend reinvented

Jewelry full of memories. Or is it? The knotted trend brings back the fun and ease of past decades' childhood jewelry, yet making it all current. The novelty? Supple cotton or even silk thread is combined with metal accents or leather structures in a seamless way that makes it irresistible. Nautical-inspired knots and braiding are added to the mix making it a trend that goes beyond friendship bracelets. Look for textures, geometric patterns and golden hues for a stronger statement that is versatile and chic.

Welcome the year in blue

Welcome the year in blue

New year, new soul, new traditions.  LBD has long standed for Little Black Dress. However, during 2010, midnight blue has made it to the top and is now the must-have dress shade, the new B. Elegant and modern at once, short dresses with a simple silhouette but luscious fabric and detailing are best accented by golden tone jewelry and accessories that give it an almost royal style. A must-have for new year's eve and many more parties to come. Edge it up with sheer black tights and a leather jacket and a pair of platform booties.
