OFFICIALLY SUMMERTIME and from ruffled mules in summer's favourite colour to natural rattan cane serving trays for drinks en plein air; linen wrap mini dresses and drop earrings made of the most romantic South Sea pearls; broderie anglaise and layers of tulle in a pleated day skirt, here are a few things on our shopping list lately...
THIS FRIDAY WILL BE THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER here in the northern hemisphere and WE COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED. Summertime is our favourite time and we're daydreaming of tan lines and a glass of wine on a breezy terrace, espadrilles and frills on little white dresses; palm trees and wicker and the flicker of candlelight on an August night...
Little have I thought about styling and fashion these past few weeks, as my mind is wandering to sunny places, near the sea always, in the mood for watching sunsets, looking at the works of Picasso, Matisse, Duchamp and Miró.
IT'S THE SPRING BANK HOLIDAY here in Britain this coming weekend and the Memorial Day holiday in the US, and so we rounded up a few favourite things to shop for in anticipation of summertime: face oil and lip balm and the perfect little white dress and wicker bag; a gold sculpting bar that everyone seems to swear by at the moment, hoop earrings, a lace bralette, raffia mules and more...
WE HAVE BEEN highlighting the latest spring trends, from silk scarves to trouser suits, to the eternally chic trench coat, but one of the most unexpected ones for us, is the white city short. Far from common, these pleated and belted styles have an elegance not often associated with shorts and when paired with a white top, are the epitome of chic...
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...
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.
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 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...
It's time again for introducing the new arrivals (& current favourites) at The Shop, and this week, there are myriad wonderfully chic things. At Belgrave Crescent, there is the Bordeaux Jetsetter Tote in White Camellia, a perfectly lovely sized tote for everyday, simple yet sophisticated, lightweight yet durable.
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...
Net-a-Porter is currently having its spring 15% off sale and here are a few of the things on our list: a beautiful beige blazers, belt bags and pleated skirts in shades of lilac; mules and espadrilles and coconut highlighter...
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.
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 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...
