Beach hair balayage

After my island holiday I am missing the sun and sea in my hair!  Yup, my hair is fine so I love the volume that I get from the ocean.  I think a trip to the hairdresser and Sephora is in order.  A few highlights and some salt spray should help me re-capture some of that boho island spirit that I am not yet ready to give up.

Great drape!

With Hollywood glamour on my mind, I have been spotting dresses that have beautiful drape.  I am a little obsessed with this one by young designers Cushnie Et Ochs.  I like the white, but would LOVE it in a rich jewel tone. 

It's so lady like and yet unfussy; so simple, so chic!  Ahhhhh, perfection!!!

Designer Cues

For several years now, designer Alexander Wang has been a favourite of mine. Modern femininity, clean lines and a fabulous balance and play of textures.  

I know what you're thinking: "Ha! Not everyone can wear this!"; "The model looks amazing - just look at how long those legs are!!!!!"  Well, that's true.  Nevertheless it's fabulous inspiration!  

The classic tailored pleat shorts are brilliantly juxtaposed with the street-style hooded parka... of course those boots finish the look to perfection.  Mixing texture is key to great style.

And the centre fringe on the dress and top is genius!  It's a great way to draw the eye to a line, elongating the body.  The garments fabric works well here too, because it doesn't cling.  Just remember to stick to shapes that suit your body best.

Wang, you've done it again!
