Margaret Howell is one of my favorite designers/brands. I am crazy in love with this collection, probably my favorite for this season. The very strong sailor accents work wonders for summer clothes. No need for color, no need for print, no need for sky high platforms, with simple elements such as cropped trousers and t-strap flats this collection proves that less is more.
Ray-Ban sunglasses, old sweater, MIH jeans, Chanel flats and Louis Vuitton bag.
Every year I try to delay buying any swimwear as much as I can, but I end up missing the ones I really like. Something you wear ocassionaly for 3 months a year only does not seem like a priority and I always end up focusing on footwear or sunglasses. This year though I decided I would change that and hopefully get at least one good swimsuit. Unfortunately I usually don’t find what I like in stores so shopping online is a much better alternative. It is tricky though because I find swimwear is something you really need to try first! Since I already have a lovely one piece I went with a bikini this time to have some variety. I actually got the first bikini by 3.1 Phillip Lim. I actually love the simple design and it’s my favorite color so hopefully it’s a keeper.
Browsing online this is my selection of the best pieces available:
Bikinis: 1.navy by 3.1 Phillip Lim 2. high waisted by Rachel Comey 3. striped bikini Norma Kamali
One Piece: 1. striped by J Crew, 2. navy blue by Lanvin, 3.flower print by Bottega Venetta
My newest slippers! I actually got them a few months ago. Had been waiting for the perfect slippers since forever. I actually first fell in love with last year’s (Cruise 2012) blue/black leopard slippers, and regretted so much not getting them the instant I saw them, tried to search for them afterwards but they were completely impossible to find. One year later, I see these amazing beauties and I had no second thoughts this time, because I already know what happens with LV seasonal items, you either get them the moment they are released or you will be sorry later!
