Albanian-born Ilirida Krasniqi is a dentist by day, and a style influencer when work is over. Based in Copenhagen, she has already caught the eye of Vogue Paris one to follow for her ability to capture the energy of the moment. We love her decidedly lady-like style: high-waisted trousers with crisp white shirts, belted trenches and tweed blazers, mules and kitten heels and strappy sandals...
EVERY YEAR around this time, we round up the essence of summer in a moodboard we like to call The Last of the Summer Whites.

A READER WHO IS MOVING her daughter to Düsseldorf from California has asked for suggestions on what to wear to the airport. We've rounded up an inspiration board of chic, yet comfortable outfits from a few of the most fashionable people, from Victoria Beckham to Carolyn Baessette Kennedy to Pinterest and Instagram finds.

Perhaps a light jacket such as trench, a pair of blue jeans, a pair of black trousers, a lightweight v-neck jumper, a dress for dinner to start...
DANIELA IS GOING TO Provence on holiday in August, a time when it is typically hot in the south of France. She's excited for the trip, but does not do well in the heat and does not wear dresses, and asked for advice on what to wear?

Loose-fitting linen pants with white cotton or linen blouses (this scallop collar linen shirt is perfect) and singlets look chic while still keeping things cool. Here is some style inspiration that includes pleated trousers and ruffly blouses, city shorts and more...
You can call me overly obsessed with the trouser suit style and I will agree with you. I think there is no other style that makes a women look more powerful and confident, attractive and stylish than while wearing a full suit. When I spend my days at work in a suit, I never feel more comfortable or confident. In fact, I often get asked by my clients if they can try the look as well and this inspired me to write a few words about this great style option.
