]]> Although it may feel like 2024 has only just started, shockingly we’re almost at festival season already. The world of fashion is already feeling the impact of this, with boho styles suddenly being spotted everywhere. Why not start prepping for summer now, by styling yourself in some of the chicest boho styles out there?

Fringe Detail

Fringing has always been an integral element to the boho look, and in 2024 it’s sure to make a big impact whether it’s featured on jackets, skirts or dresses. Pair a stunning fringe detail skirt with some big boots, to make a style statement without veering too much into the cowboy look.

Muted Tones

Unlike some of the recent fashion trends we’ve seen, boho style really emphasizes subtle, neutral tones. Opt for white or cream colored clothing, with beige, coffee or oat toned detailing. These colors are simply perfect for summer, but will also look great paired with more layers when we move into the fall.

Hats Off

Another item which distinguishes the boho style from other looks is its use of hats. Look for slightly stiff, more formal sun hats, or even a cowboy style hat if you want to commit to the boho look. Not only will a hat add some serious style points to your outfit, it has the added bonus of protecting your skin from the sun in the heat of summer.

]]> There are many ways to embrace summer style, whether it’s through the clothes we wear, hair styling or beauty choices. Nails are one of the simplest and quickest ways to tap into seasonal trends, so if you’re on the lookout for some summer 2024 inspiration, then you need to see these stunning, contemporary nail designs which will be big news throughout the summer months.

Neon Tips

Combining a subtle base with neon tips is a great way to make a dramatic style statement. These nails will also match a wide range of clothing choices and colors, and are slightly more versatile than full neon nails.

Think Pink

While summer 2023 was dominated by Barbiecore, that doesn’t mean that pink isn’t popular for this year. Opt for slightly muted tones of pink, as opposed to the hot pink shades which were big news last year. In terms of nail shapes, the coffin shape is certainly having a comeback, so why not try this design next time you’re at the salon?

Jewelled Nails

It’s not just about the color and shape of your nails—this year, you may also want to include some nail art such as motifs, jewels or mini-flowers. These pretty additions to your nails can really help to make them more eye-catching and will certainly ensure you stand out from the crowd.

]]> Have you ever wondered how much your fashion choices actually make a difference? If you have, the clothes you wear can influence not only your own confidence but also the way people perceive you and the world around them. Here’s how your wardrobe choices can have positive effects on people.

A Strong Message

When you put effort into your appearance and dress in a way that reflects your unique personality, it sends a powerful message to those around you. Your fashion choices can inspire others to embrace their individuality and express themselves authentically. By being true to yourself, you become a role model, encouraging others to do the same.

Bringing People Together

Moreover, your fashion sense can create connections and foster a sense of community. When someone admires your style, it opens up an opportunity for conversation and connection. Fashion acts as a universal language, allowing us to bridge gaps and share our experiences, cultures, and passions.

Being an Influence

Beyond personal interactions, fashion has the power to influence societal norms and challenge stereotypes. When you break free from conventional fashion standards and embrace diverse styles, you contribute to a more inclusive and accepting world. Your choices can challenge outdated notions and inspire others to embrace their uniqueness without fear of judgment.

]]> Summer is a super exciting time of the year and many people’s favorite season. Having more sunshine and warmth is strongly appreciated by many people, and the general mood and atmosphere seem to become more relaxed and chilled. Many people also look forward to bringing out their summer wardrobe, with cute, light outfits that can’t be worn in winter. When you are deciding on summer clothing this year, choosing items made from linen can be an excellent decision. Here are some reasons why. 

It’s Super Light

Summer clothing often translates to less material, for example, shorts or a tank top. While it’s lovely having skin bare in the heat, if the material is quite thick, such as denim or cotton, then you may well feel hot and uncomfortable still. Linen is super light and airy, meaning it’s perfect for intense, hot weather.

It Dries Quickly

Light materials are great in summer not only while wearing them, but also when it comes to washing them. Having clothes that dry super fast is perfect when you are sweating more and perhaps need to change outfits more frequently. 

Can Be Rolled Up Small

While light and airy, linen layers still provide some warmth and protection from the wind. This means they are perfect to roll up and pop in a bag when you’re heading out for the day. This means later in the evening you can pop on a cozy but light layer to keep warm.

]]> While we’ll always love a capsule wardrobe full of high-quality basics that we can rotate year round, we can’t deny that it can also be fun to experiment with new trends from season to season. With fall just around the corner, we’ve been taking inventory of our closets to figure out where we have room to add some new pieces and are looking forward to filling in the gaps with some of this season’s top styles. Here are a few we’re especially excited about.

Boots

Nothing says “fall” quite like a good pair of boots, and this fall is set to bring some really fun styles. So far, we’ve been seeing a lot of knee-highs as well as grungy motorcycle boots—think zippers, laces, and thick soles to boot. If you prefer simpler, more minimalist styles, you can’t go wrong with a classic pair of leather riding boots paired with a cozy sweater dress.

Neutrals, Neutrals, Neutrals

After a summer of Barbie-inspired hot pink everything and more mermaidcore than we knew what to do with, we have to admit that we’re somewhat relieved to see the return of a more muted color palette. Not only are colors like ivory, camel, and rich chocolate browns easier to pair with existing pieces in our wardrobes, they’re also timeless in a way that we can justify spending a bit more on higher-quality pieces made to last.

The 2010s

For better or worse, the defining styles of the 21st century’s second decade are in the process of making a comeback. While we’re not entirely sure how to feel about this glaring reminder of the passage of time, we are happy for the chance to pull certain pieces out of storage. After all, there was something to be said for the convenience and versatility of leather jackets, oversized bags, and skinny jeans. That said, if we ever see another wedge sneaker again, it’ll be too soon.

]]> If you’re looking to save money and adopt a more sustainable lifestyle, one of the best ways to do both is by taking proper care of your clothes. Taking care of your clothes not only helps maintain their appearance but also extends their lifespan, saving you money and reducing waste over time. While there are certain things to be aware of, taking care of your clothes doesn’t have to be complicated. Read on for some tips on how to care for your clothes effectively and keep them looking their best.

Follow Proper Washing Techniques

Washing your clothes properly is essential for preserving their fabric and color, so be sure to check the care labels on your garments and follow the appropriate washing instructions. Separate your laundry by color and fabric type to prevent color bleeding or damage, and use the gentle cycle with mild detergent, as harsh chemicals can degrade fibers over time. Opt for cooler water temperatures to reduce shrinkage and save energy, turn your clothes inside out to minimize friction, and hang dry them out of the sun to prevent fading and heat damage.

Handle With Care

The way you handle your clothes during storage and while wearing them plays a significant role in how long they last. Avoid overstuffing your closet, as tightly packed garments can become wrinkled or misshapen, and use padded hangers or fold delicate items to maintain their shape. Be mindful of zippers, buttons, and jewelry that can snag or tear fabric and make a point to regularly check and repair loose threads or small holes before they become larger issues.

Invest in Proper Storage

Proper storage can make all the difference in preventing damage and preserving the quality of your clothes. Clean garments before storing them, as stains left untreated can quickly become permanent, and use breathable garment bags or cotton dust covers to protect your clothes from dust and insects. Avoid hanging knitwear, as it can stretch out of shape over time; instead, fold them neatly and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

]]> With fashion trends coming and going each season, it can be difficult to stay in style while dressing for your body type. At the end of the day, each one of us deserves to accentuate our best features. If you’re finding it tricky to do that, here are some tips to make sure you absolutely slay like the queen you are!

Skim the Surface

Maxi skirts have been on trend for quite a while, but wide-leg pants are definitely having a moment in the spotlight. The items share a similar structure, so this rule applies to both. Regardless of which you choose to wear, ensure that they are long enough to just skim the floor. Having them even an inch higher can make you seem shorter.

Don’t Go Low

Yes, we know, the ‘90s are back in style. The decade featured an abundance of low-rise jeans, pants, and skirts, but the look isn’t always the most flattering. Low-rise anything can totally throw off your body proportions. Rather wear pants and skirts at your natural waist.

Free the Knee

Wearing dresses and skirts that stop at the knee can also set your body proportions out of whack. Avoid looking frumpy by choosing midi styles or maxi styles.

]]> In a world of fast fashion and ever-changing trends, building a capsule wardrobe is a refreshing approach to curating your personal style. A capsule wardrobe consists of timeless, versatile pieces that transcend seasons and can be worn for years to come. If you’re ready to streamline your closet and create a wardrobe that stands the test of time, follow these simple steps.

Step 1: Assess Your Style and Lifestyle

Start by evaluating your personal style and lifestyle. Consider your preferred color palette, the silhouettes that flatter you, and the activities you engage in regularly. This self-reflection will help you determine the foundation of your wardrobe and identify the essential pieces you’ll need.

Step 2: Invest in Quality Basics

Build your capsule wardrobe around high-quality basics that can be mixed and matched effortlessly. Opt for classic items like a tailored blazer, a white button-down shirt, well-fitted jeans, a little black dress, and versatile tops and bottoms. These timeless pieces will serve as the building blocks of your wardrobe.

Step 3: Choose Versatile Pieces

Select versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down and easily paired with other items in your wardrobe. Look for items like a tailored coat, a neutral-colored cardigan, a versatile skirt, and comfortable yet stylish shoes. These items will provide endless outfit possibilities.

Step 4: Embrace Timeless Accessories

Complete your capsule wardrobe with timeless accessories. Invest in a quality leather handbag, a classic watch, a versatile belt, and a pair of elegant shoes that can be worn for various occasions. These accessories will elevate your outfits and add a touch of sophistication to your overall look.

Step 5: Maintain and Refresh

Once you’ve built your capsule wardrobe, it’s important to maintain it. Regularly assess your clothing, donate or sell items that no longer align with your style or lifestyle, and make thoughtful additions to keep your wardrobe fresh.

]]> Summer will be here before we know it, and it’s got us getting ready to revamp our wardrobes. Every season comes with a variety of new trends and styles, and summer brings plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy the warm weather we’ve been missing since last summer ended. We’re especially looking forward to breaking out our shorts and sundresses, but whatever summer style means for you, know that the right pair of shoes has the power to transform an outfit. To prepare, we did a bit of digging to figure out which shoe styles are taking over for Summer 2023.

Wedges & Weaves

The early 2000s are back and better than ever this year—platforms low and high are everywhere from high fashion runways to online boutiques. Also on trend are woven styles made from materials like leather, wicker, and raffia. We love the way this pair by Dolce Vita combines multiple textures!

Mary Janes

School may be almost out, but these school-inspired shoes aren’t going anywhere. Strapped pumps, flats, and heels are shaping up to be one of this season’s hottest shoe trends. We just hope this one continues into fall—imagine rocking these with your favorite cozy sweater.

Pops of Color

Say “goodbye” to the grays of winter and “hello” to neon pinks, eye-catching yellows, and vibrant greens. There’s no limit to how much color is acceptable, and nothing screams “vacation” more than wearing sandals the same shade as your favorite fruity cocktail.

]]> If you’re looking to save money and adopt a more sustainable lifestyle, one of the best ways to do both is by taking proper care of your clothes. Taking care of your clothes not only helps maintain their appearance but also extends their lifespan, saving you money and reducing waste over time. While there are certain things to be aware of, taking care of your clothes doesn’t have to be complicated. Read on for some tips on how to care for your clothes effectively and keep them looking their best.

Follow Proper Washing Techniques

Washing your clothes properly is essential for preserving their fabric and color, so be sure to check the care labels on your garments and follow the appropriate washing instructions. Separate your laundry by color and fabric type to prevent color bleeding or damage, and use the gentle cycle with mild detergent, as harsh chemicals can degrade fibers over time. Opt for cooler water temperatures to reduce shrinkage and save energy, turn your clothes inside out to minimize friction, and hang dry them out of the sun to prevent fading and heat damage.

Handle With Care

The way you handle your clothes during storage and while wearing them plays a significant role in how long they last. Avoid overstuffing your closet, as tightly packed garments can become wrinkled or misshapen, and use padded hangers or fold delicate items to maintain their shape. Be mindful of zippers, buttons, and jewelry that can snag or tear fabric and make a point to regularly check and repair loose threads or small holes before they become larger issues.

Invest in Proper Storage

Proper storage can make all the difference in preventing damage and preserving the quality of your clothes. Clean garments before storing them, as stains left untreated can quickly become permanent, and use breathable garment bags or cotton dust covers to protect your clothes from dust and insects. Avoid hanging knitwear, as it can stretch out of shape over time; instead, fold them neatly and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

]]> With fashion trends coming and going each season, it can be difficult to stay in style while dressing for your body type. At the end of the day, each one of us deserves to accentuate our best features. If you’re finding it tricky to do that, here are some tips to make sure you absolutely slay like the queen you are!

Skim the Surface

Maxi skirts have been on trend for quite a while, but wide-leg pants are definitely having a moment in the spotlight. The items share a similar structure, so this rule applies to both. Regardless of which you choose to wear, ensure that they are long enough to just skim the floor. Having them even an inch higher can make you seem shorter.

Don’t Go Low

Yes, we know, the ‘90s are back in style. The decade featured an abundance of low-rise jeans, pants, and skirts, but the look isn’t always the most flattering. Low-rise anything can totally throw off your body proportions. Rather wear pants and skirts at your natural waist.

Free the Knee

Wearing dresses and skirts that stop at the knee can also set your body proportions out of whack. Avoid looking frumpy by choosing midi styles or maxi styles.

]]> In a world of fast fashion and ever-changing trends, building a capsule wardrobe is a refreshing approach to curating your personal style. A capsule wardrobe consists of timeless, versatile pieces that transcend seasons and can be worn for years to come. If you’re ready to streamline your closet and create a wardrobe that stands the test of time, follow these simple steps.

Step 1: Assess Your Style and Lifestyle

Start by evaluating your personal style and lifestyle. Consider your preferred color palette, the silhouettes that flatter you, and the activities you engage in regularly. This self-reflection will help you determine the foundation of your wardrobe and identify the essential pieces you’ll need.

Step 2: Invest in Quality Basics

Build your capsule wardrobe around high-quality basics that can be mixed and matched effortlessly. Opt for classic items like a tailored blazer, a white button-down shirt, well-fitted jeans, a little black dress, and versatile tops and bottoms. These timeless pieces will serve as the building blocks of your wardrobe.

Step 3: Choose Versatile Pieces

Select versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down and easily paired with other items in your wardrobe. Look for items like a tailored coat, a neutral-colored cardigan, a versatile skirt, and comfortable yet stylish shoes. These items will provide endless outfit possibilities.

Step 4: Embrace Timeless Accessories

Complete your capsule wardrobe with timeless accessories. Invest in a quality leather handbag, a classic watch, a versatile belt, and a pair of elegant shoes that can be worn for various occasions. These accessories will elevate your outfits and add a touch of sophistication to your overall look.

Step 5: Maintain and Refresh

Once you’ve built your capsule wardrobe, it’s important to maintain it. Regularly assess your clothing, donate or sell items that no longer align with your style or lifestyle, and make thoughtful additions to keep your wardrobe fresh.

]]> Summer will be here before we know it, and it’s got us getting ready to revamp our wardrobes. Every season comes with a variety of new trends and styles, and summer brings plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy the warm weather we’ve been missing since last summer ended. We’re especially looking forward to breaking out our shorts and sundresses, but whatever summer style means for you, know that the right pair of shoes has the power to transform an outfit. To prepare, we did a bit of digging to figure out which shoe styles are taking over for Summer 2023.

Wedges & Weaves

The early 2000s are back and better than ever this year—platforms low and high are everywhere from high fashion runways to online boutiques. Also on trend are woven styles made from materials like leather, wicker, and raffia. We love the way this pair by Dolce Vita combines multiple textures!

Mary Janes

School may be almost out, but these school-inspired shoes aren’t going anywhere. Strapped pumps, flats, and heels are shaping up to be one of this season’s hottest shoe trends. We just hope this one continues into fall—imagine rocking these with your favorite cozy sweater.

Pops of Color

Say “goodbye” to the grays of winter and “hello” to neon pinks, eye-catching yellows, and vibrant greens. There’s no limit to how much color is acceptable, and nothing screams “vacation” more than wearing sandals the same shade as your favorite fruity cocktail.
