Once again, the dress-silhouette of the season, is the slip dress and with this spring’s weather being more humid than usual, it’s absolutely perfect. To update the trending dress for 2016, I’ve paired it with simple mules and a dainty choker, that I removed for some pictures as it was getting caught in my hair (that I’m beyond obsessed with btw).

Slip dresses are so easy to wear, and because they are so on trend, you can find them in literally every length and fabric. Some of my favourite slips that I’ve styled are; this simple denim maxi dress, this sexy slip for an evening out, and the one I wear the most, the classic striped one.

What are your favourite ways to style the slip dress?

A fall affair

Fall has the most beautiful natural colour palette, filled with rich reds, deep yellows, burnt oranges, and of course all shades of brown and green. Though for me, the warm oranges and reds suit my skin tone the best. This fall, when dressing formal, I’ve gone for a very structured look that is a show stopper. This dress, part of H&M Conscious Collection, is made of recycled plastics and fibres and is probably one of the coolest pieces I’ve owned, with the 3D rose applica on the thighs, shoulders and collar and around the waist, not usually the most flattering, but this piece is cut so well that it’s perfect as a statement dress.

The 1990’s have hit 2013 hard. It’s a little overwhelming to jump back into this somewhat frightening decade filled with neon windbreakers, velvet jumpsuits, and some crazy power suits. Fashion Magazine has asked the style panel to help guide us through this trend, here’s what I said. The key is to try less.

There will be more talks of the 90s in up coming posts, but let me know if there is any big trend that you need help with! I’ll do my best to solve it! xx. b
