New beginnings / fashion trends
The end of the year is fast approaching and it has been a rather strange year.
But what has changed in fashion is the issue of sustainability! The word has become the buzz word in fashion. From recyclable fashions, restyled or vintage style.
I for one keep to a certain style or print mostly. Sometimes adding color in the mix. A bit of red , blue or hot pink are my favorites.
Recently read an interesting article on the trends for 2024. Some I am happy to say I already have in my wardrobe and other not. But basically I won ..read more

Dressing up ??
This holiday season I am thinking to just have a more relaxed look.
No one seems to dress up as much - even though for myself I like to make it more special. My thoughts are ; You cam wear the casual look year round , but Christmas is only once a year. .
We celebrate on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. So I thought one day relaxed , the other a little more fun dressy .
For the relaxed day decided to wear the grey knit tunic with some accessories to p er k it up. Silver necklaces add a bit of interest, just which one ( maybe both),  ..read more

Chanel in the UK
The latest Chanel fashion show was presented in Manchester on an actual street . Something definitely different. But it does remind me of Karl Lagerfeld past show settings in wintery chalets scenery.
As always the celebrities were there Kristen Stewart, Hugh grant plus others .
COLORS
It was like a colorful rainbow of pinks, orange , green and blue. A very summery look.
Here you can see some photos from the show

Keeping Warm

So I found one nice grey tunic that is comfortable and wear can wear over slacks, paired with a nice heel or boots .  ..read more

The art of Sashiko
A traditional way used in Japan to repair clothing. Today this craft is growing in popularity, as way to upcycle or repair garments . For anyone who likes to sew or try something different this is worth trying.
Think it’s an ideal way to patch jeans or add some detail to a piece. You don’t necessarily have to do it on clothing , even just as pillow or smaller items.

Big Foot on the Runway
Seems that some of big designers have started a new look in footwear.
I can only say , who’s idea was that?
It is comical and reminds me of the circus. You can imagine it extra big shoes. But to each his own.
One certainly can’t miss them.
The pink ones I don’t mind.
Are you a fan of chunky shoes ..read more

It’s a perfect dress to wear for just about anything. A simple wrap style with a tie on side. The hem is rounded , a nice detail. A v-neck front and back but not too low cut .
Personally it is one of my favorite dresses now.  ..read more
