OUR LONGSTANDING LOVE affair with the little white dress always goes into overdrive at this time of year. When long summer days are so near, one can't help but dream about this magical season, our favourite. We're looking forward to countryside picnics and morning walks along the shore, early evening dinners on the terrace by fairy lights and the sound of chirping crickets, all of course, in a favourite little white dress...
OF ALL THE CURRENT spring trends, the silk scarf is one of our favourites. Pretty and versatile, you can wear it in your hair or adorn the handle of a handbag or wicker tote; wear it around the neck or the wrist, or channel Audrey Hepburn and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and wear as a head-covering with oversize shades. Whatever your preference, nothing is quite as chic as a silk scarf this season (or anytime, really).
It's time again for introducing the new arrivals (& current favourites) at The Shop, and this week, there are myriad wonderfully chic things.

HAVE BEEN SEARCHING for a skinny jeans (or denim in general) alternative for some time now, and just like that, a new spring trend has arrived just time.
The Most famous département stores in Paris are a stopping point on all touristic itineraries. Aristide Boucicaut is one of the pioneers of creating the département store, opening “Au Bon Marché” in 1852. Since then the phenomenon of this style of shopping has become an integral part of life in France.
VALENCIA - Nearly mid-March and there are already pink blossoms on the trees and days of endless sunshine. The park along the old river bed is filled with picnickers and afternoon loungers, and here, we're excited for new spring things, including chic wicker bags and glamorous dangling baroque pearl earrings; flowery perfumes and tortoiseshell sunglasses, lip balms and luxurious hand lotions and more...
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, there is a mini trend that comes along that is just too pretty to pass up, and the rhinestone/crystal belt with blue jeans is one of them.

There are no rules on how to perfect shopping. As a stylist, I see women everyday trying and buying things―things that are trendy, things that don’t fit well, or the right colour. For this week, I just want to share with you a few essentials that every woman needs in her wardrobe. Every one of these pieces will elevate your look, no matter what your work environment looks like. These are the key pieces to put on your shopping list.
IT'S TRENCH COAT season! And while my trusty Burberry is being freshened up at the dry cleaners, here is a little inspiration on how to style the eternally chic trench, somewhat a tradition around here at TIG in the springtime. Whether with white pants and a chignon or over a camel blazer or a silver sequined dress, it's fashion favourite staple and never goes out of style...
THINK THE FIRST time we fell in love with the gathered leather clutch was with Phoebe Philo and Old Céline's Spring 2018 RTW collection shown in Paris in June 2017. Now, a couple of years later, Bottega Veneta has their own version, and the rest of the world (especially on Instagram) seems to have fallen for this chic fashion accessory as well. We're especially enamoured with the ones featuring the Italian fashion house's signature Intrecciato weaving technique. Scroll through for more inspiration and shopping links...
The utility or boiler suit is one spring trend that I am willing to give a try this year. Whether you follow trends or not, this one is timeless and works with everything, on every occasion―depending, of course, on the style and fabric of the piece you have. You can choose one in denim or you can choose leather, cotton, linen, or lurex, etc.―all of these options being easy to style.
The first day of spring has only just passed and already we're dreaming of lusty summer days. Days filled with fluttery little white guipure lace dresses and wicker; peachy luminizer and coconut highlighter, bronzy skin against crashing waves and falling rays of golden sun...
