Romantic without the Frills

Romance - an ever-present reminder of the softer side of life. A mood that can be represented in textures, colors and patterns that do not need to be overpowering to be sweet. Layers and different lengths in this outfit create movement while being comforting for winter and inviting change during the day (wear without the skirt for an edgier evening look). The printed leggings and structured leather jacket create balance and make this look a staple for the coming seasons.

Lipsy Dippy Hem Skirt; Old Navy Cowlneck pullover; Warehouse Quilted detail jacket; Miss Selfridge Floral Feather Legging; Fiorelli Angelo Flapover shoulder bag; Very Volatile Twain ankle boot.

Little Non-Black Dreses to Welcome the New Decade

Another year has gone by...and there's no reason why to play safe with the beloved and comfy LBD ¹. This time around, non-black is the new black. Daring, textured and dazzling describe the party dress destined to close a hard to forget 2009 and welcome the uncertain '10s. A hint of 80s vintage mixed with 21st century decadence will make dancing to Prince's 1999 acquire a new meaning.

Moreover, the perfect one should scream HERE & NOW: an attitude we must learn to live by and express - one day at a time.
