Hello Lovely People !

The weekend is coming to an end but boy it’s been a busy one yet again.

Today’s post features a beautiful, strong, blue and white floral print top with a loose fit peplum, paired with my all-favourite black Ponte leggings and Betts wedges.

I had a lot of fun shooting this look with the new i-phone filters.

A hot and sexy structured silhouette.

A flat double layered Peplum.

High Neck and Cap sleeves.

Fully lined upper with a very Victorian-style printed lining.

Centre front panel fully corseted.

Unzip the corsetry all off and wear it as a vest.

You can even have it one side zipped up,one side halfway and turn over the neck for a trench-like look

or have it up as is in the picture for a sleek look that will turn heads.

This beautiful, and very exclusive jacket is actually part of My Ratavosi Label’s Nostalgic Nuances Collection.

Monochrome is in !

IMG_0810

Monochrome is in !

Cardigans, colour blocked dresses, patterns and prints, basic little black garments – This Trend is absolutely rocking it – It’s everywhere.

So where do you go from here ?

First of all you bring back the beautiful plain pieces in your wardrobe – yes like that basic tee and every legging you always wear..

and second of all you read this and be a little inspired for your next outfit.

Lucky for you I’ve included a variety of pieces and even linked them in this post.

So if you like.. you buy = ]

Let’s start off with a few dresses.

image

Piper Lane Colour blocked Dress

Colour Blocked Black and White dresses are so hot Right now !

There are a number of body con styles and two-in-one styles too.

Contrast darker side panels and/or a darker bottom to slim down the figure.

image

If you want to go for something with a print you can just keep in mind body proportions and print scale.

If you are more fuller on the top go for something with a small scale print.

If you don’t have much of a top you can pull off larger scaled prints.

or you could even take out the little black dress again – it always saves the day… or should I say night ?

image

If you are more of a 2 piece person the beauty of this minimalist trend is that you can wear the most “plainest” garments and you will still be perfectly on trend.

image

Wear a plain top like this one from Zara for a sleek day to night time look or add this crisp white waistcoat to sophisticate your everyday casual look.

image

Black and white printed pants are really popular this season too so it makes it that much easier to find.

image

Harem pants are always comfy – I’m sure everyone has a pair or even a pair of plain leggings.

image

High-waist shorts are a great addition to any look as you can wear them with plain black or patterned stockings or if the weather isn’t too cold –just by itself.

image

There are also a number of skirts in different cuts and prints.

image

Nookie – Slim fit mini skirt with a black and white sequin animal print.

image

Stripes are also very on-trend. This pencil skirt is from Portman’s. It has a very bold striped print and black contrast side front panels.

The plain black tee

image

To add some excitement to your basic black tee go for something a little edgy or different.

The above style has turned up cuffs and an asymmetrical hem – perfect when paired with some contrast wet-look or printed leggings.

image

something a bit more extreme… ?

image

If you follow more the grunge, urban style of fashion perhaps some white leather ?

One Teaspoon’s Bowie Leather Jacket is a great essential for the wardrobe.

image

Classic Biker style with a asymmetrical zip detailing and zip pockets.

V-shaped croc leather detail on the back – makes you Fall in love ❤

Label Three of Something have also nailed it with these two lovely pieces.

Both very wearable for a casual day or night time look.

image

Battalion Bomber Jacket from label Three Of Something ( above)

Samurai kimono also by Three Of Something(below)

image

and lastly as I always say… There is a Trench for every trend and this is it…

image

Traditional trench style with a striped lining twist.

The great thing about this jacket is that it is not only completely relevant to the season and the trend but you can definitely mix it up with your primary blues and greens for later on.

Such a beautiful wearable piece – A Must-Have !

 

For Jewellery Coco Liberace always have it spot on with their Chunky Gold and silver necklaces and wrist wear.

DALLASNECKPIECESMALL

awesome !

ELVIE GOLD CUFF

NAIL - SILVER

STRIKE - BLACK SNAKE

Or if you are after something a bit more timeless then there is only one place to go for that…Tiffany and Co.

Photo-shoot Prep | Rainy day outside but a rather sunny one at T.L.O.R Headquarters !

Woke up this morning and let’s be honest – who didn’t want to go back to bed with the weather being so S#!t ????? As you could of imagined what was supposed to be a bright summer awakening started to feel like a rather sluggish wintery morning! BUT that didn’t necessarily mean a fun days of work wasn’t about to begin.

Here at T.L.O.R head quarters I have been busy expanding the RATAVOSI men’s and women’s collection with additional women’s looks for our Amore Amore Photo-shoot.

I’ve been crazily sourcing props and accessories from all over the place as well as locations to give the right touch to all our looks.

In fact, Perfect Timing for Valentine’s Day !!!!

Mid last week, I ordered a cute red wide brimmed hat and some cat eye sunnies to go with the “midnight rendezvous dress” (oh and a pair of white ear muffs JUST FOR FUN hahaha)– what felt like a knock and run today, brightened mine and my best friends day.

2 brown parcels from ASOS… oh yes oh yess !! Happily tearing apart the boxes, there they were ! It always feels so exciting and rewarding when you get a parcel at the door, I love the feeling, it almost feels like it’s your birthday ha !

And well knowing the two of us ( the usual ) decided to do a silly little luvo session with the new pieces.

Just a regular day at the office. Check it out  haha

Wearing My very own RATAVOSI “Sinuous Senorita Jacket” being all snobby and that with my best friend in one of my wardrobe favourites, my biker vest with a fur collar and of course our accessories from ASOS, Red hat, cat eye sunnies and our fluffy white ear muffs.

I’m so classy that sometimes I do This and she just smiles. REDHOTEVIL VS PRETTYSNOWANGEL.
IMG_884402

Oh and I also forgot to mention that while I’m classy I also B.O.L – BLAARRRRRR OUT LOUD and she pouts innocently ofcourse.
