Off Duty

I am somebody who is not a great lover of colour, but now and again I tend to fall in love with fuchsia-tastic pieces like this Isabel Marant silk dress. This dress has a great urban ,off duty gypsy feel that will work on any shape and is perfect for spring. Work it with boots, flats and espadrilles during stylish summer afternoons. Not only is the colour the perfect electric pink, it has adorable felt detailing, paving the way for great summer accessories.

Seen here on the runway, with the infamous Isabel Marant fringed boots and belt the dress is a great season staple for Marant worshippers and colour fanatics alike. I love the early 70’s vibe I get off the dress, very Marianne Faithfull. Gotta have Faith.

Into The Wild

Feathers? Check. Sequins? Check. Metallic’s? Check. Festival season is almost upon us, so whether your heading to Glastonbury or Coachella this year, set your eyes boys and girls on this major new waistcoat brought to us by the one and only Matthew Williamson.

Matthew season after season always seems to give you that tight knotted fashion flip in your stomach when you set your eyes on his festival perfect, bohemian creations. When I look at the waistcoat it makes me want to reach for my ray bans and turn up the Fleetwood because you realise spring is almost here.
Throw the waistcoat over a plain tank, stack your arms with cuffs and bracelets, add fedora, slouchy knee boots and cute denim cut offs and your an instant festival goddess. However by all means feel free to wear over a LBD as a perfect summer update to a classic, as this little beauty should not be neglected through the seasons.

Just one last thing to add though I can’t help but wonder that there might still be something missing with the waistcoat, Mick Jagger?
