Taking Shape

What’s one thing you can never leave the house without? 🤔

Ours is a trusty Denim Jacket - the perfect partner for any of your dresses. 🩵

Although, does a dress like this really need to be hidden? 🤭

This is the Natural Collared Spot Dress - a show stopper on its own, and the perfect base for any layers you want.

We’re wearing this to our long weekend lunches, those impromptu wines after work or just for a catch-up with the girls - hey why not all three? Just don’t forget your Denim Jacket. 😉

What weekend events do you have coming up that you can debut a brand new dress to? 👗✨

For the traveller who enjoys the simple things… 🍋☀️

A trip to the local farmers market in the middle of Europe calls for an outfit that’s equally as gorgeous as it is comfortable.

It must be light, packable, and bright - so your travel partners can find you in the crowd. ”I was just stopping to look at the local wine selection, I wasn’t going to be long”. 😉🍷

The new Holiday Shop is full of gorgeous light and bright pieces like these - made with perfectly packable fabrics that you can grab-and-go from your suitcase. 🧳✈️

Who has travel tales from their journey to where the sun shines? We’d love to hear all about it!

Looking for a show-stopping outfit that you’ll practically want to live in?

You’ve come to the right place - Because just look at this entire outfit. 😉

The soft long-line cardigan, the pattern on the tunic, the cut of the pants. Our jaw is on the floor. 🤤

Here’s a trick to make building an outfit easier - try dressing by a certain colour palette. Choose two of your favourite colours, and build an outfit around them. We’re just loving navy and coffee. It’s chic, elegant and modern - which is a big tick in our book.

A few other colour palettes that work well are:
❤️Red & White
🩵Blue & Black
💚Green & Blue
💜Mauve & Maroon

TELL US what is your favourite colour combo you like to wear? We might just try it out ourselves.
