Renaissance Chic
Pretty sugary treats graced the catwalks and candle lit our wintery days. Think peaches’n’cream and romantic pastels adorning heavy layers and frills for a feminine chic look as shown by Chloe, Jean Paul Gaultier and Michael Kors. Try French Connection, Warehouse and Oasis for lace jackets, frilled blouses, feathered skirts, tiered or fringed dresses and silk playsuits for a deliciously demure look.
Go for elegant separates and maxi dresses from Warehouse and rose petal make up from Revlon but don’t be afraid to sneak in the siren with splits, sheer fabrics and beautiful underwear.
Be an edgy cupcake for this seasons new romantic look.
