Take a cue from mother nature this spring with earthy browns, olives
and oatmeal colours. Bring a bit of that laid back campsite vibe to the
weekend barbeque with vintage screenprints and tonal tie dye effects.
Subtle stripes and heather fabrics add a bit of style while keeping things
laid back and easygoing.
Grounded
not sure how to show off a sweet
belt without ruining that sloppy-chic
style you've perfected? enter the
half-Tuck. Tuck your favourite tee
shirt into the front of your waistband
leaving it untucked at the sides and
back. make sure it's tucked more
on one side than the other and
you're done. you may now return
to pretending that looking this
awesome happens by accident.

When
accessorizing,
wear solid items that
match one of the stripe colours.
if you want to be adventurous,
choose a different print, such as a
floral, in the same colours as the
stripe. Be cautious: more than
one stripe pattern in an outfit
could be considered
criminal.
horizontal
stripes aren't
for every body shape. if
you aren't comfortable with
horizontal stripes, mix it up with
colour blocking or try stripes
on different angles. avoid
vertical stripes completely
this season.

staying safe
BehinD Bars. The two tone uniform stripe is big this summer and
we're here to help you lock down this trend while
avoiding some major fashion crimes. Play by the rules
and you'll have a killer look that will steal the scene.
Pair
uniform
stripes with a dark,
straight leg jean to
keep the look modern
and avoid looking
sloppy.
choose
clean jewellery
that complements
the stripes with posts
or long beads but avoid
striped jewellery.
a
longer length
top hitting your hips
will help stop stripes from
looking wide on the body.
keep your hem at this length,
longer striped tops can be
very overpowering.

We all have those few pieces in our
closet we adore, clothes for whom
we have an inexplicable love and feel
we’d be lost without. i would like to
pay homage to a wardrobe warrior
who is overworked and under-
credited. Summer just wouldn’t be the same without
them. We live in them, we sleep in them and we work
out in them. our closet wouldn’t be complete without
a sufficient supply of tank tops. Though i wouldn’t
champion wearing these treasures to a formal affair,
they can go pretty much anywhere else. They keep us
covered under sheer tops and conceal our bra straps
effortlessly. They can hold their own and play well with
others. They’ve dined with gladiators and shopped with
hobos, napped on the beach and curled up in our carry-
on. from military geek to boho chic, they are always
up to the task. and let’s not forget low maintenance.
These guys are out of the wash and back on the field
in no time. There’s no bench warming for these work
horses either, they’re the underdog of winter layering,
ever shying away from the limelight. This summer, wear
your tanks with pride, and marvel at how truly fabulous
they can be. Just don’t forget the perfect accessory for
bare arms; sunblock. Beloved tanks, we salute you. �

keep your cool in crocheted
tops, cardigans and hats.
though we're not all ready for the
crocheted mini skirts and boots
which were all over the runway
this season, adding a cute
crocheted hat on a cool day or
picking up a pretty top with some
crocheted details is a fabulous
way of incorporating this trend
into your unique style. create a
style that is pretty and sweet, and
all your own.
the secret is out! Stay cool and block the sun in layers of crochet.

Summer is all about effortless style. we adore long, charm necklaces for their throw on and go appeal. worn alone, or in groups, they add a touch of easygoing style to any outfit. pair these gems with crew necks or for a retro feel, a turtle neck. feel free to wear them with chunkier silver rings but keep other jewellery very simple and clean.
keep your length
in check, any longer than a
librarian's pen and your necklace will be hitting your belt
every time you walk anywhere. Just below
your bra line to an inch above your belly button is a
safe range.
