Seaside Sweetheart

Summer is almost here, and that means we get to indulge in all the colourful, vivacious and quirky prints. Well, we got to enjoy them the rest of the year too, but there is just something extra special about summer themed prints.

This year we are going a bit nuts over nautical themes, and just looking at them makes us smell salty air and hear seagulls. 

If you're anything like us, you're sure to enjoy the sets we created!

We are absolutely in love with this dress. It is so flattering and so comfortable we just want to fill our closet with it. Lucky us, it comes in three colours- blue, pastel blue and black! 

Capris and a cute top are our summer staple, and we never seem to get tired of them. This set pairs the red, black and white, your staple nautical colours for a fresh summer look.

Oh this dress! We have been in love with it the entire last summer, and our love is still going strong. It is a guaranteed fit for any figure, and comes with pockets!

They used to say -never mix your prints, but some of the best outfits,  in our opinion, come from breaking the rules! It's summer! Be wild, be bold, be your wonderful self! Featuring Oceana skirt and Dolly top.

You Animal!

Can we ever get enough of novelty prints?

Well, no, not really! There is something about them that cheers us up immensely! They are full of life and creativity and just oh so fun! 

We rounded up our favourite prints from the animal world this month to suggest four vivacious outfit ideas!

Our first set, Flamingo Fracas, deserves that name! Bold colours and an even bolder print make this dress stand out. We paired it with a cute and cheeky accessories for that perfect summer style.

Poodles are an essential vintage print, and we've been in love with this dress ever since we first saw it. It is vintage without being costumey, and the cut is timeless and elegant. 

Poodle Pandemonium indeed!

Puffin Perturbation is just so darn sweet! I mean, is there anyone who doesn't like puffins? And this sweet turquoise dress is just perfect for spring and early summer!

We saved the Butterfly Bustle for last. We just can't get over how amazing the combo of a black base and classical cut goes with this gorgeous playful butterfly and floral pattern. Adding any other colour to your ensemble except the ones already on the dress would be a sin in our book!

Late Summer

It seems almost as if summer always saves best for last!  Mild, warm days, fresh nights, and a ton of excuses to go out and meet friends and family. We were inspired by the prospect of date nights and get-togethers to put together a few outfit ideas and sets that will make you shine, no matter what the occasion. Just don’t forget to pack a cardi with you in case it gets cold!

What better way to enjoy a picnic than with a light cotton dress and a pair of comfy shoes? There is no need for lots of jewellery, so we kept it to a pair of vintage style earrings, and instead opted to accent our look with a cherry- embroidered cardigan. 

A cocktail party is a lovely way to celebrate late summer.  The monochrome colours will give you an elegant and timeless look, and the floral purse will add a touch of femininity. You don’t need much else except for some pink lip gloss, and you’re ready to go!  Dress.

What better place for a date than the pier? It’s no longer too hot to enjoy cotton candy, and the ice cream no longer melts in your hand. We added a cheeky necklace to this very basic capri and boat neck top set to give it a more playful and polished look. 

Sunday is the perfect day to dress up and go have a lovely lunch somewhere outside. The restaurants still have their terraces open, and after a nice lunch, why not go for a stroll to find that perfect dessert?
