The Master Of Dressing For Summer, Classic Style
13 Jan

Summer style for classic dressers can be challenging. Particularly holiday dressing and even more so, beach holiday dressing.
Some classic dressers, myself included, are not typically attracted to floaty, flowy, soft, patterned fabrics and can therefore struggle when it’s time to pack our cases for a destination where it’s going to be hot.
Our wardrobes might be mostly made up of tailored, safe, traditional, structured pieces.
But obviously we can’t go on a sea or pool side holiday (or in summer in general) in our blazers, crisp shirts and trench coats. So our challenge is to find casual clothes that work for our style, in the heat.
The person who achieved this more than anyone, was Jackie Kennedy.
It was all about keeping what she wore very simple and then decorating with fabulous accessories.
For those fellow classic dressers out there, here are some photos to give you some inspiration.
*Remember these photos are just to give you ideas. It’s up to you to adapt the look for your age, size, height, budget, lifestyle, etc, etc.

The Summer Alternative To Your Everyday Handbag
15 Dec

Rather than lugging around your big leather everyday bag in summer, consider swapping occasionally to something more casual.

I tend to do it on the weekends. If I’m shopping or catching up with friends for lunch I’ll carry my French market basket or a small colorful straw clutch.
Bags, just like shoes, have the power to make your outfit more casual or alternatively, more dressy.
Give it a try.
Maybe you have a little dress you wear to work (perhaps a shirt style) with a classic pump and your everyday (More than likely black) handbag. Now try it with a pair of tan tan sandals or an espadrille and a straw basket or canvas tote. It feels and looks completely different. It means by changing your bag and shoes, you have a new outfit for a different occasion. You can wear the dress somewhere other than just work

Street Style At New York Fashion Week
17 Sep
It’s New York Fashion Week and if you’ve been following my Facebook page for a while you’ll know I love the Fashion Weeks for watching what the showgoers wear to the shows. I find that, equally if not more, as inspiring as watching what the designers are parading on the catwalks.
One of the women whose style I admire, Giorgia Tordini, has popped up a lot on sites and Instagram feeds wearing this head to toe navy outfit with black shoes (yes you can wear blue and black together) and lots of gold jewelry.
Wearing head to toe one color can look really chic or really bland depending on how you do it.
