As you know, I dined at London's Swedish restaurant Aquavit the other day. I styled one of my current favourites, this tiger jumpsuit, with walkable silver heels, my classic Chanel 2.55, and Felice Dahl gold. I love this look because, it's a flattering silhouette, the midnight blue and silver colours are ever-chic, and it's easy to just throw on and go!
While I love great basics, I also love to have fun with fashion. Queue my fluffy slides! Fashion is for self expression, so why not play with it? The more different looks you try, the more you'll find out what your personal taste is - what makes you feel good when you wear it.
Along with playing with fashion, I do believe a great set of jewellery can empower you. Of course I am a jewellery designer, which is all the more proof of how much jewellery means to me. Depending on how much I layer, I really feel as though I can portray different aspects of myself, along with feeling strong and sure of myself. What will these designs reflect from you?
The gold vermeil jewellery I wear day-in day-out has started to reveal the sterling silver underneath its surface, and I love it. To many, jewellery is incredibly personal - it could remind you of someone close to your heart, or of a beautiful moment, or state who you are to the world on a daily basis. It travels with you, and often across generations.
Quality jewellery ages, and as it does, its character strengthens. You know by looking at it, it's loved, it's brought strength, comfort. And just as you see with the Ljus collection, it's absolutely ok to wear multiple metals at the same time.
Before you send off your pieces to be re-plated, give it a good polish with a soft cloth, and embrace its character!
Most often associated with Frenchie style, the gingham top and basket bag are eternally summer-chic. I like the size of this gingham pattern, I think it's the most elegant for this look - otherwise sometimes it can start to feel like a tablecloth! And, any basket bag will do, but try to pick one that doesn't scrape against your clothes!
