Look of the Week

My look of the week this week is featuring the super stylish Gwyneth Paltrow, she shows that air travel does not have to = dull boring fashion. Her look although casual incorporates a few trendy fashion items, I especially love her beautifully styled black linen blazer. Blazers are a must this season and I personally prefer the more tailored, structured version. She pairs her blazer with slightly flared jeans, camel boots and a gorgeous gray scarf – we will call this look “travel-chic”.

Erdem Resort 2013

I really love the vintage styling of this photo shoot, of the Erdem Resort 2013 prêt-à-porter collection. The classic lines and the use of glorious rich tones and fabrics give the collection an almost ethereal feel. Erdem Moralioglu successfully combines full skirts, Chanel-styled shift dresses, high-necked blouses, floral prints and a blue and pink palette to create a beautifully feminine collection.

Look of the Week

 

My look of the week this week is all about the animal print, a popular trend both locally and internationally! This particular outfit is “home-grown” and is part of the current Jo Borket Winter 2012 Collection. The jump suit is playful and quirky yet ultra-sexy at the same time – I love it! The rest of the collection is amazing, featuring beautifully styled jackets, skirts and trousers with the focus on combining elements like texture and patterns, a trend that is very big this season.

I am loving stripes at the moment – whether they are classic blue and white nautical stripes or big, bold and colourful, they are bang on trend. Stripes can really bring an otherwise plain outfit to life, worn under a jacket or as a statement piece, as a skirt or dress, stripes can be fun and sassy.

The key to wearing stripes is to be sure they flatter your body shape and do not dominate or over power your outfit completely. In my opinion it is better to team a striped garment with other plain items, like denim jeans or a another solid colour like black or white. Stripes are rather versatile and can even be worn with other patterns such as pretty florals.
