WHILE IT HAS been sunny lately and all the leaves are still wonderfully green with only a few touches of yellow here and there, and only a few that have fallen along pathways and around the foot of signs at coffee and ice cream shops, it was blustery today. The kind of blustery wind that has a coolness attached to it, the kind that is meant to shake leaves from trees and carry them away ...
Whether you live someplace where the transition to fall was drastically quick or you are still enjoying warm days and chilly summer-fall evenings, either way, fashion-wise, there is always one piece that has its moment of glory this time of year, and that is for me it is the blazer ...
We've already seen actual yellow leaves on the treetops and many more fallen ones on the ground. The air feels brisk and the clouds seem to hovering around more persistently these days, so there's no denying that autumn is well and truly on its way. Rather than be glum about it, we have decided to put together an inspiration board for you, of outfits (and the key pieces to buy) that will help you make the transition from these last fading summer days into the chilly mornings of autumn ...
For as long as I can remember, one of the most common compliments I've received is not, surprisingly, about my style, but about my hair. Over the years I have invested a lot of time and care into it and all I can say is that today my hair is healthy and I have managed to find a healthy routine for it ...
IN FEBRUARY IT of this year, there seemed to be a growing consensus that the skinny jean trend was officially over. The style that was ubiquitous for both men and women in the 2010s has had a good run and now it's time to move on and try something new ...
I READ SOMETHING recently that stated that the sales of colour cosmetics dropped 33% in 2020, and that sales of cosmetics overall dropped by 15%. While I did buy a few new eyeshadow palettes during that time despite not having anywhere to go (perhaps it was for the odd Instagram selfie), I did actually reduce spending on these items ...
“What are your challenges when it comes to shopping?” This was a question I asked online the other day to try and find out the problems you are confronted with when you go shopping. There were a few clients who were the inspiration for this line of thought through the conversations we had in the changing rooms that probably make more sense now, after all the time we've had over the past year to reflect on our style and choices ...
IF YOU ARE A REGULAR here at TIG, you will know how much we love our summer whites. This summer, however, the trend has shifted toward summer black, if that were ever a thing. From strapless sundresses to sexy cut-outs; linen two pieces and midi dresses, pleated playsuits and more, here are a few of our favourite pieces in shades of black, along with a little style inspiration on how to wear them ...
How hard do you struggle to fit into clothes that don’t represent you, or to fit into a style that you see on Social Media? In a world of hashtags and algorithms, finding a style that represents your true self has become more and more difficult.
THERE HAVE BEEN a few great trends for spring-summer 2021 so far—waistcoats, shrunken cardigans, Breton stripes and billowy summer dresses—just to name a few, but here are OUR VERY FAVOURITES: from the return of the silk satin midi skirt to the crisp and classic blue shirt (with or without stripes); preppy coordinated sweater sets and tiny tennis skirts; oversized trench coats and pretty silk scarves..
IN LATE APRIL, Kendall Jenner stepped out in a pair of wide-legged pleated pants, a white t-shirt paired with an oversized crisp white shirt. It was head-to-toe The Row, and it was easily the chicest spring outfit this year. The epitome of casual elegance, it was both dressy and comfortable ...
