Rain Rain Go Away







Even though the sun is out and the flowers are blooming, summer can be a season that's full of humidity and rain. In order to not ruin our fashionable summer streak, we might as well welcome the rain with something colorful and sweet. Start it off by purchasing a trench coat that is either a basic color or a bright one and match the rest of your outfit accordingly.

Umbrella - Totes Bubble
Trench Coat - Jill Sander
Top - Maje
Skirt - A.P.C
Rain Boots - Hunter

Taking the 3.1







This 3.1 Phillip Lim dress is the definition of body art! Taking 4 to 5 days to assemble and around five dressmakers to create, this dress fits the body like a glove - a collaged glove to be exact and it will put you in an artistic mood. With the gray, black and navy colors combined with the tiered sculptured mini skirt - it makes the perfect cocktail dress for any party. Just pair it with simple black stilettos and minimal jewelery and you will be the one who looks like she was inspired by Picasso this morning!

This amazing embellished Miu Miu bag is the perfect transition from day to night - literally! Carry it during the day with a white t and jeans and for the night, snatch off the strap and carry it like a clutch, wearing the strap as a necklace! This is probably one of the smartest fashion ideas I ever heard of!




This Beavaldes Tristan Necklace is definitely considered to be a statement piece. This hand made piece combines all elements such as gold, silver and Swarovski diamonds that will make any girl smile!

Marni + Current/Elliot





Last month, Marni and Current/Elliot announced that they will be collaborating in designing denim. Marni - known for the the use of unusual materials in their pieces such as plastic, decided to go back to basic adding denim to their line. Current/Elliot on the other hand is known for their baggy boyfriend vintage look - this way both designers are going in a different direction with their collaboration. Don't expect the classical five pocket denim however, this collaboration will for sure surprise the fashion world with what they will end up creating!

Garden of Pillows






Liberty of London introduced it's new line for Target and I am loving their new fabric collection. If you are one of those people who think of their home as their sanctuary, then you must switch around the cushions on your couches to give the room a little atmosphere. The latest floral prints are just what we need for the summer, incorporate them into cushions, couches, table cloths and even bed covers and add a little flower power to your sunny day!

Michael Kors


Calvin Klein


We are all fans of the Little Black Dress, let's face it - it saves us from any dressing disaster we might face. But this spring, designers are introducing something called the Little White Dress, a dress that will play the same role as the black - but a bit more modernized. Looking at designers such as the ones I mentioned prove to us that white is back and it is here to stay. The best part of this is that you could accessorize it with gold, silver or multi-colored accessories, all of which will pull together the perfect outfit for a perfect summer day!
