My personal style—in apparel—is heavily rooted in classic, elegant, timeless pieces. Then, to add a modern edginess that balances out the style that is my own I look to my obsessories—shoes, bags, jewelry etc. As a result, when I find pieces that can simultaneously speak to the past as well as the present I am instantly smitten—hence my allure to the above.
Oversized watches and stacks of chunky bracelets have restrained my wrists—quite fashionably—for several seasons now. So I was instantly intrigued and delighted when I came across Links of London's new collection of Sweetie watches which showcase their talent of creating watches as jewelry. Inspired by their beloved Sweetie bracelet, the Sweetie watch is of timeless quality making it an instant classic—a piece that’s, well, timeless.
Summer's coming up quickly and I know many of you are looking forward to the benefit of of those consistently sunny days: a head to toe summer glow. But, while I'm all for sun-kissed skin, it should be obtained healthily, i.e. sans sun rays.
There are heels and then there are shut up, look and listen because I'm-making-a-statement-heels. I don't know about you, but I prefer the latter. Apparently so do the creatives at Salvatore Ferragamo who decided to treat supple calfskin to a special laser cutting technique before adding a little satin and a few studs (under the little laser-cut flaps that look like fish scales) to grace us with this unique metallic gold peep toe bootie with lace detail. S-C-F!
Nothing says easy breezy summer girl like the maxi dress. Long, flowing and effortlessly stylish in crisp white linens, cottons and lace--perfectly fun and flirty summer fabrics. It's my favorite and most comfortable summer staple to don during warm, leisurely days by pairing with flat sandals (try See by Chloé's Jelly Gladiator) and a lightweight tote (try Marcy by Marc Jacobs' Standard Supply Tote).
Equally important as the obsessories you add to your ensemble is the colour you coat your nails. If you’re not feeling the bold, brilliant brights or metallic colour trends and you want to step away from the classic black, red and nude shades…Think in pink.
style is so personal . . . it is a visual extension of thoughts, feelings and moods, which is why it can change ever so subtly or in the most grandeur fashion and, when it is genuine, can never truly be wrong.
