Getting involved

2 words, JIL SANDER

By now you must have seen the amazingly simple yet beautiful Jil Sander maxi skirt (as below). I will be attempting to recreate this skirt but with a few tweaks and much less complicated, so I'll post my attempts in pictures when i do. But for now lets just talk about the amazingness of Jil Sanders maxi skirt from her RTW spring collection.

A simple t-shirt teamed with a maxi  skirt ( or if you haven't had time to go shopping, last seasons maxi dress) is a key trend this spring and also a very practical one that is a simple way to take you from winter to summer.

Not-so-basic basics at Rag and Bone

According to Nicole Phelps of style.com "the appeal of this brand has been how strongly tethered to reality it remains, how much it reflects what the cool girls want to look like on their best day" With their latest collection being full of Tailored pantsuits, cool blazers and calf length sheer dresses, although this collection had a lot more colour than usual they still managed to keep the cool, unbothered, statemented girl that rag and bone project.

Flats are back this spring. It may be a surprise for some to see models gliding down the runways of Lanvin, Balenciaga and Anna Sui without having to balance on 3 inch heels, however surprised or not,  this is a trend that I'm sure will be embraced by many fashion-conscious women who will now be saved from wearing those treacherous heels.

Model of the Moment

Fashion has never been just about the clothes but about the people too. Freja Beha Erichsen is one of these people. She has only come into the fashion world recently but we are seeing her face EVERYWHERE. The Danish model has acquired a reputation for her original yet easy style, which mostly involves dark simple colours including her 16 tattoos have become part of this style instead of just body art.

The Edge of Preppy

Although I'm not a big fan of colours this seasons bright colours and bold prints means that it is the perfect time to play preppy with oversized jackets, shirts, brogues and satchels.
