Cheap Trick: ASOS 'Contrast Highbrow' Sunglasses

Jump into a Jumpsuit Noir

Imagine.... Studio 54, ABBA on the radio, Farrah is the pin up du jour....what are you wearing? A Jumpsuit of course what else? Whizz forward forty years and not much has changed, although it is Gwen instead of Farrah who is the poster girl for jumpsuit chic. Think draped materials, elongated legs and nipped in waists teamed with juxtapositional jewels and sky high heels.

be a divine evening alternate to a dress

Summer Denim Revamp: The Long and the Short of it

As a long standing denim skeptic, the thought of denim branching out into clothing genres other than simply a trouser material, filled me with dread and childish disgust. Denim is casual, and casual chic is a very difficult concept to get achieve, hence my skepticism. However it seems that the denim diversification movement has changed everything. The denim question, is now not a question of only: wash shading and cut but of colour, length, stretch and even texture. Who would have thought that a denim hot pant would become a summer staple, destined to be worn with YSL or Valentino blazers? Then there is the 7/8 length denim perfect for those occasions when shorts are not appropriate, of course it helps that they elongate your legs like a dream. Finally the full length denim jean rejuvenation goes back to the seventies with wide leg high-waisted numbers worn in white or deep navy. Obviously colour pop full length skinnies aren't to be over looked. Are you a little tempted to diversify your denim... I certainly am?
