Designers Versace, Jil Sander and Etro showcased an array of square bags in pop colours, blacks and whites to replace the slouchy hobo. No matter which trend you adopt this summer, top it off with a structured bag for all occasions.

Casual: Add a little fun to your look with an eclectic box bag like this camera leather bag by Proenza Schouler. Alternatively, the raffia Lady Dior is a good companion for brunches, best with an oversized shirt and skinny jeans.

Work: Add a polished look to your corporate wear with a no-nonsense bag. Carry this leather Prada bag to your next board meeting to show who is boss. If you prefer something feminine, the Victoria bag in cheery yellow by Victoria Beckham should do the trick when paired with a shift dress and killer heels.

Cocktails: Ditch your usual oversized envelope clutch for a mini square one. Opt for pieces in strong colours, graphics and metallics to add that extra edge to your look. We love the Perspex and feather clutch by Charlotte Olympia for an intimate dinner. However, it’s not all boring and classy pieces, eclectic girls can opt for the To Kill A Mockingbird embroidered clutch by Olympia Le Tan

What's better way to celebrate summer than by dressing for the sun? Always around but now rising in popularity thanks the the comeback of ’70s fashion, those floppy sun hats you’ve seen are hotter than ever.Not only do these hats look super chic, but they will protect your beautiful face from harmful sun rays and keep you cool!



Tips and Tricks for Rocking a Sun Hat

1.You can pick up these hats almost anywhere now — even at Forever 21 or Wet Seal! However, if it’s anaccessory you will wear over and over again, it might be worth investing in a more expensive.

2.These hats have a major retro vibe to them — they will go great with bell bottoms, high waisted shorts or skirts, clogs, anything, and of course huge pairs of sunnies!

 3.Try wearing one with a peasant top, maxi skirt, or pair of fringed boots.


 4.Try wearing a floppy sun hat with a summery dress. It’ll work with anything from a maxi dress,    Sunday sundress, or a floaty beach cover-up.


5.Speaking of poolside cover-ups, these are ideal when sunbathing. Even the strongest sunscreen can leave your face under-protected. Combat harmful UV rays by rocking a floppy hat to shield your most delicate skin from the sun.

April women look 


We do love a style shifter addition to our wardrobes and that’s why we’re digging this mirror image hyper floral Givenchy shirt!
The perfect transitional wardrobe staple, we’ve styled theGivenchy floral shirt in two ways to stretch your inspiration from the office right through to next date night.
With an optically enticing red flower print on a sand coloured backdrop, the Givenchy floral shirt is a new season must-have and the ideal way to insert this slightly overpowering trend into your wardrobe. Paired with fizzy neon jeans for office after-hours style, or a sophisticated pencil skirt and clutch for a more boardroom appropriate take on things, the Givenchy floral shirt flits with ease between the two.

City Boy Style

One of the major trends which one should look out for is the ‘city boy’ look – men in lightweight knits and jackets, button down shirts and mid-length shorts, giving off a bit of a formal yet relaxed look this summer that can be ideally finished off with chinos and deck shoes.

Wing-tip eyes have become a hot favourite on the ramp as well as off it. It's a look almost anyone can pull off. If you're wondering how to do it correctly, make up expert Kapil Bhalla gives you an easy tutorial on how to get the look right with the help of model Michelle Kynta.

Things to remember:
  • A pencil liner will not give you a sharp, defined cat eye. It also has wax emollients that will melt and smudge in a few hours. Certainly not apt if you have oily skin and want your liner to last for a few hours.
  • Liquid liner is ideal, while gel liners work best. The result depends on the brush that you use.
  • A fine brush helps in getting sleek lines and also gives you the ability to get more creative with the tip.
  • A thick brush will give you chubbier lines and a fatter cat eye.
  • Since the cat eye or wing-tip eye is quite a dramatic look, stick to neutral coloured eyeshadows. The adage "less is more" should be your mantra.
  • The cat eye liner is a very versatile look. While you can keep the rest of your face bare, it also gives you scope to go dressy with blush and lipcolour.
  • For the day, pair your cat eye liner with a lighter lip colour.
  • For the night, you have a plethora of choices. You can go vintage with a glossy or a matte red lip or pair it with the flavour of the season: coral or fuchsia lips.
