August 8, 2017

In 1992 Caroline of Monaco went to Provence to spend the Summer away from the press, but the press always finds away to track down sort after celebrities and her images quickly hit the tabloids worldwide. During this summer she dressed in a simple provenzale way, and pictures of her wearing a floral dress went viral. Since fashion was not that fast as it is today, it wasn’t until the following summer this became “the look” of the season. I am sure you all remember those iconic dresses from the 90’s.

July 27, 2017

Today I am featuring an outfit in which the leather accessories are the main highlight because I want to address this leather topic. Media coverage on the growing use of non-leather products has been embraced by many celebrities and fashion bloggers. I completely understand that many people do not want to use animals products for ethical reasons, neither I want any living being to suffer, but the problem starts when you want the leather look and replace leather with plastic faux-leather.

LWD stand for a Little White Dress, and even though it is not as well known as its black version, I think every woman should have one in her wardrobe. The LWD is a summer classic with a lot of versatility, it can be worn to the beach, when socializing with friends or a summer night out. The contrast against your skin helps to highlights your sun tan! This is one of my favourite summer garments, I actually have three different versions of it in my wardrobe!

One of the biggest issues in our current society is the amount of plastic that we produce and waste every year.
