Whether you dream in classic Chanel, can't live without a biker jacket, crave neon or are weak for closed-collar shirts, you most probably have an affair with a necklace. The first to make the plunge into an infinity of trends, necklaces can be as daring or as timeless as you want them to be. They even have the power to make or break an outfit, create delightful contradictions or transform a plain white t-shirt into fashion heaven.

Fashion might be nothing without tops and bottoms but would you ever give up the rush that sneaking in a new necklace into your outfit gives you?

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.

Happy 2012! Another year has started, this means new goals in life and of course a new outlook that hopefully will make us happier than last year. Add a punch of color to the start of your new year with unexpected yet harmonious color combinations: navy and raspberry red, a touch of neutrals and of course, the ever-neutral denim. Add interest with great accessories such as a zipper necklace, a touch of leopard or a vintage-button recycled pouch. It is after all, time to be true to who you are and have fun being you.

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.

Some trends seem artificial, irrelevant or a comeback that feels forced. Real design trends originate from a shared sentiment, outlook, lifestyle or response to an existing situation. In order to become a natural trend instead of only a commercial strategy, these feelings need to be a reality for many. 

The selection below represents a common expression. Whether its style is shared by ethnic, artsy, folksy or geometric trends, the strong palette, character and repetition in these pieces create statements that are hard to pass by. Supported by symmetry or the deliberate lack of it, these outfit tellers represent an attitude. The reason for its boldness and patterns?
To compensate for uncertainty in an ever-changing world.

From left to right: Campbell Oxfords in Liberty Floral by JCrew; Flower printed Oxford, H by Hudson; Floral Wingtip Shoes by Forever 21; Black Floral print Brogues by Dorothy Perkins; 77100 Oxford by Rizzo.

Oxfords have made it to the top in the last couple of years: the implied elegance, the vintage air evoked and the old-fashioned masculinity in the design have created a luscious shoe. Now, after adding a pinch of sugar to the mix, the coveted oxford has become decadent, sweet and full of color. It's just like making jeans for women's curves, these feel like oxfords made for us. Embrace the trend and bring it into summer with comfy dresses and tapered pastel pants.

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.

As ethereal as fashion might sometimes seem, we must never forget that its backbone is centered in consumerism and disposable trends. This is, after all, what makes it addictive, new and challenging at the same time. As passionate consumers of fashion, we need to understand the huge impact that it has on the environment, where and in which conditions it is produced, and how it will affect our own society in the future. We might not know the details of each garment's production but it's important that we realize that our actions can worsen or improve the current world situation.

Unfortunately, the existing "being green" trend is also being abused of by the market, making real sustainability hard to identify. This makes it even more complicated to make conscious shopping decisions but we can start by:
  • supporting brands and products that sustain fair trade;
  • avoiding sweat shop brands;
  • choosing materials which can be recycled/reused easily or are composed by re-purposed waste;
  • purchasing directly from artisans;
  • choosing organic or 100% natural materials where possible;
  • distinguishing between the "eco-chic" trend and the real and long-term deal
  • ...and above all: when craving fashion, shop your own closet first!

What is your own take on eco-fashion?

Start right by choosing these stylish and sustainable products:




a. Recycled Fabric Necklace by Minna; b. Serpentin Bag by Pinellapi; c. Comete Tunic by Komodo; d. Eve Vegan Fair Trade Ankle Boots by Bourgeois Boheme; e. Bullet Screw Lock Bracelet by Alkemie; f. Butterfly Shirt Dress by Sika; g. Necklace Scarf by The North Circular; h. Parachute Hoody by Christopher Raeburn; i. Topaz Shoes by Element; j. The Sun Handbag by Ecoist; k. Maxine Studded Wedge by Where; l. Skinny Jeans by Monkee Genes.

Tired of the cold weather, gray days or the lack of winter sun? Yearning for spring and an immediate revamping of your wardrobe? A season Mix & Match can do wonders for your style (not to mention the winter blues). Instead of neglecting those cheerful breezy dresses or spring-colored cardigans, match them to the less energetic, monochromatic winter bunch for an instant renewal of style and spirit. Pair thick textures to lightweight fabrics for comfort, added warmth and interesting layering that will never make an outfit look the same twice.

Be bold - go closet shopping for those perfect items from past seasons that nobody else has right now. Be different - instead of looking like this or that celebrity, avoid fashion clichés and make old become new with your own time-warping choices.

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.

The cold and tough winter months need warmth: colors that calm the soul and help us keep going forward. Pantone®'s palette is full of contrasts and features four especially warm colors: American Beauty being the most notorious of them all, is meant to be a "feel-good" color and is used to complement edgy or quirky fashion. Honey Yellow brings the sunshine in while staying subdued and fit for winter, its fashion style is classic and feminine with a vintage feel. An interesting combination is created when matched with Burnt Sienna, a fall classic with a rusty twist in a base of orangey rose featured in frilly pieces with a retro touch.
Last but not least, comes the king of neutrals: Crème Brûlée. Frostier than our regular nudes, it becomes one of the most elegant hues in current styles. When paired with color, the result is impeccably chic, as it conveys joy amidst a challenging environment.

Layering is one of the most interesting ways to transform looks and keep current - and a most needed resource during the colder months. Waistcoats, sleeveless tops, gilets and vests are key and become the cherry on top of a well-layered fashion ensemble. Mixing different textures, lengths, thicknesses and styles is the way to go and will create striking end results every time.
Eclectic is this season's motto.

Skirts: the epitome of chic and femininity are as strong as coats this fall. Focusing on the short side (knees abound) and full of detailing, a whole outfit can be produced around today's skirt. Accompany minis with the myriad of tights available or the all mighty thigh-high boots and you will be ready to enjoy the leafy season as if it were warm and sunny all day.

A short jacket or coat continues the frisky attitude while a longer or oversized one creates an unexpected balance: layers will provide the perfect temperature while adding character to the outfit. It's all about experimenting and finding a nouveau allure for the season, so don't be shy.
