Happy Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day Dress List
In celebration of Saint Valentine’s Day tomorrow and the beautiful New York Fashion Week collections being shown right now, here are some of my favourite looks which would be just perfect for this romantic occasion.
With a couple of days remaining during New York Fashion Week, it appears red will play an important role for the upcoming Fall season.
From Diane von Furstenberg to Victoria Beckham, Monique Lhuillier, Thakoon, DKNY and more, many have caught a little scarlet fever.
Paint The Town Red… not a colour for the faint of heart, red can give that unmistakable va-va-voom.
The colour of love, passion and seduction – red is the prefect choice for a romantic date this Valentine’s Day.
Some red hot inspiration…
Happy Valentine’s Day for tomorrow xx

Show Your Spots
This Week’s Editorial Love…
You don’t have to wear an “Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini” to the beach to embrace a love of spots this Summer. In this gorgeous editorial, model Barbara Fialho channels mermaid chic with a love for vintage glamour and the timeless polka dot. With tousled waves in her hair and smokey eye makeup, Fialho’s effortless beauty radiates from the images.
Effortlessly stylish & delightfully playful, the classic polka dot is romantic, feminine & ever-so chic. Exuding a vintage aesthetic, the spot is a print icon.

Bright Pants
Vivid coloured blossoms, bold prints and artistic patterns are truly enchanting – especially on trousers. This season both on and off the catwalks, printed trousers have become the go-to for effortlessly chic dressing.
Making an appearance during the Autumn / Winter 2011 shows (from Jean Paul Gaultier to Dries Van Noten); printed pants went on to hit a catwalk high note for Spring. From Isabel Marant to DVF, Paul & Joe and more; printed trousers struck a pose with panache.
Banish your thoughts of ghastly prints in oversized unflattering shapes – this trend is all about modern polished elegance. With a focus on clean lines and refined cuts, printed trousers in sharp silhouettes look nonchalantly cool yet surprising elegant. Tailored cigarette pants or capris (finishing just above or on the ankle) should be well-fitted for ‘glamorous,jet-setting style’ (a la Isabel Marant). While wide palazzo pants (as seen at Paul & Joe) or silk wide-leg harem styles (from Diane von Furstenberg) are equally alluring.
Wear with a crisp white shirt for fresh sophistication or highlight a tone from the print with a simple, relaxed tee. A loose silk blouse in a neutral shade will also look beautiful.
From effeminate watercolour splashes to intense tribal prints – luxe shapes in exquisite colour is a Spring focal point.
Will you go bold in printed trousers? xx
