Movement

These silk trousers from Ganni were made for dancing. Some styles just come alive in motion. Don't you just love the weight, feel and movement of luxury fabrics? We're soaking up some sunshine and celebrating the fact that IT'S ALMOST FRIDAY.

Belting 101

We've noticed lately that lots of ladies are having issues with proper belting.  Proportions of clothing may seem subtle and insignificant, but something as simple as a misplaced belt can throw off an entire silhouette, rendering an otherwise attractive look distracting and unflattering.  Belting on top of the ribcage shortens your torso and looks like some sort of awkward bust sling.  A belt should sit at your natural waist, just under your rib cage to highlight the smallest part of the body and create the illusion of an hourglass figure.  As a general rule, one should cut the body into thirds at the waist and the knees - even if the cut is only implied by tailoring or by adding heels.

Have a beautiful day, fashion lovers!

Look We Love: Graphic Black and White

While it's a classic style, graphic black and white is a hot trend this season, making a splash on the runways of all the major designers.

 

 

Linear color blocking creates a long, lean silhouette.

Glitzy animal printed sequins can add a dose of personality and quirk to a cocktail look, while body conscious color blocking creates an hourglass silhouette.



More than your basic tee, striped linen takes on a cool Euro-nautical vibe.



Be a work of art in a painterly printed dress.



Go ultra mod in clean color blocking.



Funky black and white prints feel pitch perfect when they mimic the shape of the dress.



Polka dots can range from quirky to Parisian depending on the scale and placement of the print.



 

Part "Starry Night," part Meditteranean cruise, Tibi's starfish print adds a magical flair to an otherwise simple silhouette.

 

 

Mixing textures can add interest to a clean, modern silhouette, while a feminine touch like peplum can soften an otherwise bold print and shape.
