Best buys this week are:
- The fabulous and chic white Tee with a nautical navy stripe: it’s a little different from the average stripe Tee in that it has a subtle drape neckline and snazzy exposed zips on the shoulders. Sounds too tricky but it’s actually quite cool $49. Anyway how many times do I have to tell you that a stripe Tee is a must buy. It’s print when you don’t want to do prints. Looks fab under a blazer with denim whatever age you are.
- There is a fabulous black round neck, sleeveless tank top (not a scoop as far as I can see) with silky satin round discs sewn all over it. Is it Lanvin inspired? I think it looks way more expensive than $69. It’s almost a sequin tank when you don’t want the glitter. The satin discs are very chic. Wear this with all your favourite casual bottoms from harem pants to short sexy shorts. Love it with baggy parachute pants and heels.
- I have mentioned it many times ( and dragged many a personal shopping client in to buy it ) but you must try on the navy and white ticking seersucker stripe very Gucci shrunken cotton blazer. It cinches in to one button with short 3/4 sleeves but I think it has hot pink lining. You can ignore that. Don’t worry no- one will see it if you don’t take it off. Love this for summer as it is light weight and not black! But just as versatile. $129
- Everyone needs a black silky chiffon strapless maxi dress: this one has a ruched bodice which means it flattens the boobs and then floats out to a long dress with tiers and a ruffle along the hem. It’s a beach pool dress if ever I saw one $149.
- You want the fresh and simple cotton grandpa shirt in navy and white check: it has ¾ rollup sleeves and a loose shape $89. So easy to toss on with jeans for the weekend or with cute shorts. Love it. Especially if you have muffin arms and hate waving to people. Bless
Sussan:
New season is in store: a few casual pieces here (but I have already been to be the beach for my holidays).
My picks are:
- The very glamorous, over the top, sparkle party top : it has a round neck ( is that a scoop I see?!) in grey cotton jersey and scattered with a lot of silver and white sequins and beads across it going in stripes ( if you get what I mean). Hint: sequins and glitter are not going away and this trend will still be here for next season so just invest in one or two pieces. Remember to dress down and wear with harem pants or ripped faded jeans. $99
- Buy the lovely grey sheer sequin tank $129: it’s in a very pretty sheer fabric with cream and brown and caramel sequins all over it. This will work with black or choc brown. Plus the flesh colours, bronze and caramel tones are a huge trend for next summer so this is a fabulous buy. Tip: :Aways great to layer over a white tank to add a contrast and a lazy casual edge to the look.
- I see a fabulous, long cotton top in navy with white stripes; it has cute rolled up short sleeves and epaulettes : so sporty and French but is it a nightie? Who cares! It has a round neckline with a few buttons down the front. So cute and perfect for rocking around the house or pool $39 ( I think).
- You should also check out the fabulous sleepwear here : cute little cami tops in a fabulous bright paisley print with matching PJ pants: I am getting sleepy just thinking about it. So comfortable and so relaxing what more do you want to wear on an Australia Day long weekend? $39
