The Contemporary Silk Blouse - the Tank

Every once in a while, a piece arrives so ahead of the rest and yet simple and wearable that it becomes an instant must-have. Topshop's Boutique Silk Tank is one of those mouth-opening garments that can be translated into a variety of outfits and moments in a seamless way. Composed of various pieces of shiny and opaque fabric in a sand palette, this is a silk tank brought into the 21st century. Dress it up with a black pencil skirt or make it going-out material with a pair of skinny pants.

Summer into Fall: The new plaid


The Script Plaid Silk Dress from Marc by Marc Jacobs is a design statement in itself. Plaid has been reinvented in the most graphic way while maintaining a modern mini dress silhouette. This dress is an example of a perfect transeasonal piece and will be made complete both by a pair of flat sandals or opaque tights and booties. Make it your own by adding your favorite jacket or coat on and you're ready to go.

Mitchmaze, a lovely New Found Lust reader, would like to know where to find the must-have trim blazer online, featured June 26th:

Well, luckily, the trim blazer has been done by various brands and designers...

The particular blazer that was featured on New Found Lust is by Primark, a brand from the UK currently with stores in the UK, Ireland and Spain. However, you can find alternatives online such as this one by Helene Berman; this one by L.A.M.B.; or this one by Semantics. The trim blazer was also used in Lacoste and Polo Ralph Lauren spring collections and are currently harder to find but you might be lucky and find those on Ebay.

Thanks to Soapdeli who has shared with us her find from American Eagle!


Now get yours while they last! You can be sure that it will be perfect for so many occasions and will be look great during the fall too.

Guess Who: The fall 'it' shoe
The must-have high-heel of the season, this is as edgy and sophiticatedly punk-rocker as it gets. Contrast it with feminine outfits for a cross-trendy look or add your favorite leather jacket for a total queen of the night style.

Know the label of these famous shoes? You are right, they are the Rodita Zip Platforms by the ultimate shoe designer, Christian Louboutin.

The Ret

A welcome return to our everyday lives...

The Bilbao Loafers by Tod's are timeless plus comfortable, versatile and stylish. What more can be asked of our daily shoes? The loafer and its variations are back in style and rightly so. Succeeding the massively popular ballerina shoe is not an easy task but it has now become the clear winner in the world of flat shoes. Overcoming the femininity of ballerina shoes, the loafer can be incorporated to a wide range of settings, from offices to a casual day in the park. Create contrast and interest by throwing in contradictory florals or pastels for stellar style.
