 The canvas is white.

Let’s start the journey.

Write the story of the life you always wanted to have.

As summer freezes our melancholy, we become as empowered as ever to discover our true meaning and to get away from the rigid shapes.

In which the world tries to fit us in.

Escape.

It’s no mystery by now that white clothing is particularly worn and portrayed during summer months. Conveying that endless-holiday vibe and a sense of freedom and escape, we have found to be drawn to these several powerful pieces. They’re so easy to style and incorporate in your wardrobe, that they will soon become your best friends…

Trapeze pants are making a statement come-back. Bigger and better than in the 70s, the glamorous silhouette is transcending to the street reality.

 

Pencil-skirt obsessed?

The shirt-dress gets a make-over, but not in the DVF type of way.

Shirts are still shirts, but longer, slicker and tucked into goddess pencil skirts.

Catch the Goose…

 

The sneaker dominance pushes the imagination of so many brands. For Converse to Chanel, the battle to create the new must-have sneaker is ON. God Bless Isabel Marant for the platform wedge and for giving a free-pass to dusty non-fashion sport brands such as Nike to get back in the cool-brands game.

Gone are the days when you could have worn just any type of swimwear. While sharing massive collections of selfies, you would need the perfect ensembles in order to guaranty you get the best shots while brunching, lying on the beach or emerging yourself into water!

Here are our favorite swimwear styles for summer.

Black and White Swimsuits

It does not get any more elegant and minimalist than this! Black and white swimsuits have always been associated with the riviera life and with the glamorous pool-parties. Plus, they can be your most reliable friends when if comes to highlighting your silhouette.

Printed Swimsuits

Printed swimwear should be the fun element in our summer luggage. The nature-inspired, psychedelic, Aztec or language phrases prints are there to speak up loud!

Cut-Out Swimwear Designs

Taking beach sexy to another level, these cut-out swimsuits are an excellent style for pool fun and after-hours parties.

Pastel and Neon Swimwear

Pastels and neons are popping up on this season’s swimwear and we are really loving this style! Go for bold colors or watercolor pastels for an artsy look or classic feel.

Retro Inspired Swimwear

Polka dot patterns, gingham prints, ruffles bustiers and high-waisted bikinis are definitely not a novelty in the beach wear area. Wear them to highlight your waist and show off your curves.

Spring Lookbook – Simple outfit remixes

Spring outfits can sometimes get hard to pull off as many of them rely on layering and sometimes we don’t exactly have time to figure it out. Opt-out of complicated combos and instead just focus on remixing your most reliable items into an effortless spring lookbook.

White jeans, sneakers, pointy pumps or midi skirts are our trustworthy friends for the season. And some even play well together. 🙂

Although you may still need a cosy coat, that’s no reason why you shouldn’t show some skin. Get those ankles out by sporting your ankle boots or classy pointy pumps with cropped jeans or pants. Look into fresh spring shades like pale blue or dusty pink, but you can of course keep relying on the classic nudes and black.

Magazine Cravings – Spring 2014

The beautiful image we keep carving in monthly displays of beauty collectibles is probably an addiction to each of us. Flipping through the ink-scented glossy pages is on top of everything aspirational and then inspirational. With less than 30% of the magazine features being truly actionable and seeking a result other than shopping, good stories and persona features are the insights that we do get to keep after this high-end browsing.

But the experience is also worth it, it’s the escape we crave for, an inexpensive yet inflicted dream.
