Statement Sleeves

Ruffles and exaggerated sleeves have been everywhere throughout spring and summer. I’m all for over-sized items, but it took some time for me to warm up to ruffles. Too much of them can easily look a little frumpy and it seemed like a trend that would be over in a second.

It turned out that I just hadn’t found the right item. This shirt has the perfect amount of puff and the stripy fabric makes it look like a more feminine version of a classic cotton shirt. It also seems that we’ll see more statement sleeves in the fall season, so they are not just a thing of the moment.

My 5 Favorite Makeup Products

It’s always nice to try new things, but most of us have favorite products that we come back to over and over again. In this post, I go through five makeup products that have become my holy grails.

Sports Luxe

Whether you’re on a holiday or working throughout the summer, you probably want to wear something easier and lighter. One way to do it, is to take inspiration from sportswear. Luxe trainers, velvet sweatpants and satin bombers combine the best of both worlds; feeling comfy and looking chic. You can also mix and match your sportswear with something formal to create the look.
