  • Aloha! | The Comeback Of The Hawaiian Shirt

    Hawaiian-shirts-trend-header
    No longer reserved for middle aged men on Caribbean cruises, the printed Hawaiian shirt is making a comeback into the mainstream in a big way. As with any dubious trend it’s all about how you style it, so below I’ve got four ways you can rock this tropical trend.

    The first look is floaty and feminine. With the shirt tucked into a basic maxi skirt and all matching wooden, earthy accessories, this look would be great at fancy Summer get-togethers or day out in the City. The next look is one for those Summer music festivals. Pair the shirt with high-waisted shorts and comfy Keds, along with aviators and a straw trilby for instant indie cool. Roll the sleeves up for when the sun comes out though!

    The third takes on a retro feels, inspired by those pretty pin-ups from the 40’s and 50’s. Tuck the shirt into a figure hugging pencil skirt, and dress up with killer heels and slick red lips. On the opposite end of the spectrum, for something more street. Urban-ize the Hawaiian print with a bomber jacket, sneakers and skinnies. The knuckle ring will come in handy if anyone questions your taste!
    So what do you think? Will you be helping resurrect the Hawaiian print from style Siberia?

  • Everybody’s doin’ a brand new dance now | Swinging Style at Olympia Le-Tan S/S13

    Admittedly up to this point in my little journey about learning and loving fashion, the name Olympia Le-Tan only meant one thing…adorably awesome handbag books. Normally the favourite kooky accessory of the like of Clemence Posey or Natalie Portman, this little bags took a backseat to one of the best shows from Paris Fashion Week.
    Taking cues from the Swinging Sixties and soulful divas of yester-year the collection was a feast for a vintage lover’s eyes, with tea dresses, high waisted short shorts and pop socks galore. Better known for their bag range, this emerging clothing designer did well capturing the spirit of the era, with ice-cream colours and lady-like prints sure to be a hit with the celeb crowd.
    The best part of the show by far was the presentation of the clothes themselves. Models paraded onto a stage and danced along to The Locomotion before Ronnie Spector wrapped up the show – have a gander at the video below if you don’t believe me! 

    I love shows that trill both in terms of fashion and design, as well as presentation and just general fun. So this one ticked all of the boxes.


    Keep on wishing…
