THE BEST BROWN PIECES TO SHOP NOW

Brown has been seen left right and center on the catwalks, magazines and also in the streets. Social media has such power to make sure trends travel fast and even to audience you would least expect and that just helps trends to peak much faster than few years ago. Brown has been having a huge moment but it is not over yet.

This gorgeous to me neutral shade is coming with us and moving its power to 2025. Yes we are in the middle of winter but I am an optimist and always looking forward to sun and warmer days. Brown just works with lot of neutral tones and despite some saying that it does not go with black I disagree. If you are not huge on this shade but perhaps would like to test out if this trend may grow on you I always recommend buying something from accessories. I love experimenting with colours with headwear like caps or beanies or belts.

I wanted to bring you some cool pieces for winter and upcoming spring that may work for your wardrobe and bring this trend to your closets.

TREND 2024 – THE WHITE DRESS

SHOP THIS LOOK:

Whilst London weather is still playing with us and we are obviously still wearing winter looks I am very much looking at the best of this big 2024 trends. White dresses have appeared on runways of many designers.

The big players like Valentino, Stella McCartney, Michael Kors, Prada, Chloe, Dior and so many others had some form of white dress in their collection. The creativity was beyond and we saw ruffles, lace but also simple dresses. Sometimes it can be so easy to incorporate big trends to our daily style. Think shirt dresses, cute summer dresses, girly A line dresses for spring party and so much more.

I will definitely be wearing again this year my favourite DIISH dress you see in the picture as it is so timeless and also incredibly beautiful and chic. There is something about white as for me it symbolises purity and also from some reason sunshine. Yes, not too practical with two children but life is too short to stop wearing what we want just because it may get dirty. This just reminded me Charlotte’s Scene from SATC when she ended up with print of two little hands on her vintage Valentino skirt.

Good news is that white dress is so easy to wear and easy to combine with the rest of your closet. You can simply throw on any other colour or metallics and it will work with white. Investing in a lovely white dress is also wise as it is quite timeless and we can wear it for so many occasions.

WHERE TO SHOP

I love brands like Demellier, Strathberry or Tory Burch. They make lovely quality models and really play with colours to create chic and timeless designs. Strathberry is stocked in some of London’s department stores but they also have a boutique on Kings Road if you would like to check the quality in person.

I am also so in love with the Sezane Milo bag. I can really vouch for this bag and have been wearing it a lot myself. The size is perfect and you can adjust the length of the strap. I have the snake print one but also love the colours especially burgundy. It is timeless and chic and I always get so many compliments.

CELEBS SPOTTED WEARING THESE BRANDS

Princess of Wales as well as the Duchess of Sussex have been both spotted wearing bags by both Demellier and Strathberry. I am not surprised at all as they are so easy to wear and whether you are more into elegant styling, casual or edgy they will compliment your outfits so well. These brands are also popular amongst top influencers.

Gold items you won’t regret buying? Gold Zara bomber or a gold bag?

Outfit: Waistcoat: Zara, Clutch: Demellier London, Earrings: Amazon (great Bottega dupe), skirt: Residus, Boots: (sold out) similar

SHOP THE GOLD ITEMS THIS AUTUMN

Good as gold, gold fever, all that glitters is not gold and so many other sayings you can think of. For years humans have loved gold and we still do. It is timeless, it evokes emotion and lust and that is more-likely why it keeps coming in all forms within fashion industry. The shiny metal that has caused people fight or fall in love over centuries is not going away.

This season it is going strong again. The Zara gold bomber is already sold out online and if you want to grab one head over to the Zara on Oxford street as I tried it on only yesterday. We can still wear some amazing gold jewellery and shoes but I am now personally so much in to gold bags.

I never realised how much I would wear one until I got my hands on this Demellier Cannes clutch. It is so much more versatile than you think and now I feel I need a silver one too but that would be for another article about metallics LOL.

You can actually wear it with any colour, with any outfit as it simply dresses up blazer and jeans but makes a good company for a cocktail party or black tie event. You really can make the most out of it.

I still have the old season gold Zara trousers and also the gold leather skirt I rocked at Milan Fashion Week few years ago. So I am very happy that metallic is having another moment Autumn 2023.
