Summer Dresses - Day to Evening

{ streetstyle photos via pinterest 1 2 3 }

{ dresses on sale from Net-a-porter }

I was in Amsterdam last three days, luckily weather was a beautiful 27C to 33C

in the usual tourist crowd I saw at least 10 brides to be in the city

a firm reminder that the wedding season is very much with us

I dont know about you but I for one have so many dresses for attending weddings which I find hard to wear again post the event

think I found the solution, go for a less dressy but more elegant dress with a simpler, less tailored cut

then dress up with heels and accessories 

this way you can easily dress down with casual shoes, a jacket or even a hoodie! 

just like these streetstyle girls

Net-a-porter is also having a sale (U.S. site only, U.K. site coming soon)

some bargains to be picked there!

happy shopping

(sorry just noticed the 2nd dress, nude one is Halson Heritage, blue one is DVF, label was mixed around!)

The Chilly Springtime

{images via Style Du Monde}

I don't know about you, but I am particularly sensitive to the cold air, early Spring days are the period where I can dress dramatically differently one day to the next (all depends on if the sun is out or not!)

I also feel guilty hiding behind the thick winter coats since the flowers are clearly signalling spring is well underway. I have tried to pull together 3 different looks, should cover you in the most "chilles" of Spring days to when the sun is shining so warm and brightly you want to go bare legs...

Look 1- for days you think winter is back 

wear your warm long coat but put away the skinny jeans tucked into long boots, instead try wide leg trousers and vintage white trainers

Look 2 - for days where its semi-cloudy but warm

dig out that perfect spring light coat or wool jacket, wear a thin sweater underneath

pair with slighted cropped trousers & smart slippers

Look 3 - for days where the sun is beaming above

this is the first chance in the year to go bare legs, but wear ankle boots not sandals,

wear your long sweater dress, leather wrap skirt optional for that pop of colour,

don't forget to take a warm wrap as when the sun sets it will get colder

I am obsessed with this girl

her style is clean, simple and oozes of modern chic that looks so effortless

Winter can be a hard season to dress for, 

not to mention the added difficulty of what to pack for a holiday

but Olivia makes it look so easy on her recent trip to the Scottish Highlands,

who knew oversized coats teamed up with a pair of Nike trainers can look so elegant?

I will be supporting this look in the coming cold months for sure

The Classic Combo: Denim & Shirt

I can not get over how chic the above photo is, and so simple to put together

just take your favorite dark denim jeans and throw on a smart shirt

tie back your hair in a ponytail

clutch required, jewellery not necessary

If you are more the light denim fan, 

pair it with a white or cream coloured top for that smart yet relaxed look

The Classic Box Bag by CELINE

{Various Sources, found via PurseForum}

Under creative director Phoebe Philo, Celine has brought out some lovely bags over the past few years, no doubt helping it to become one of the hottest designer brands currently

The Classic Bag in luxurious box leather is the creme of the crop

the updated modern shape, the simple buckle & the slight curvey edges

together creates the perfect look of modern femininity

The White on White

{ By The Sartorialist }

I am currently obssessed with the whole White on White look

simple, relaxed, with the perfect casual chic feel

Happy Friday ~

The Long Summer Dress

{via the theLocals.dk}

This look is perfect for the inner rock chick that lives in all of us

choose a short sleeve long dress in a deep colour (stay clear of pastel colours)

throw on a pair of ankle boots

borrow your boyfriend or dad's watch

add a small cross body bag

and there you have it, looking gorgeous is that simple

Apologies for the un-inspirational title, 

you must think I am so illiterate I can only spell colours,

while that is not too far from the truth, 

I was trying to create a more vivid image through the title,

clearly failed, let's just focus on the image

I am noting this look down in my "key looks for the season" folder

Start with a 3/4 or 7/8 sleeve white top or jumper

pair with a mid-length blue skirt, ideally made from a textured fabric

finally throw on a pair of black shoes with white soles

I have my eyes on these EYTYS alternatives which I think are so versatile not too mention comfy hitting the casual trainer look spot on
