Stevie May Eclipse Spring Collection

It has been one of those days and weeks for me. One filled with irrational thoughts of leaving swiftly. Escaping the pressure, as well as my constant fear of failure and lack of accomplishment. Then I realised that I just needed a moment to myself to gather my thoughts. So on my lunch break today, I did the next best thing. I decided to take some time out and find some solace. I finally caught up on my emails and spent my break browsing through new season look-books from some of my favourite labels. Compiling a list of items for my imaginary dream closet, purchased with my imaginary dream budget!

The beautiful collection above from Stevie May caught my eye, with its easy elegance worn with free-spirited femininity. Staying true to the labels refined yet whimsical aesthetic, the Eclipse Spring collection consists of relaxed and romantic silhouettes. Including dresses, long skirts, over-sized tops and rompers. Injected with a neutral colour palette of dusty pinks, blues, white and black. And set alongside vintage inspired florals, ruffles, lace, sequin and denim.

I already have one beautiful piece from this collection; The Solo Dance Maxi Skirt in Black. As well as a very long wish list; Including the Orian Mini Dress in Denim . Orian Top in Denim . Blow Your Mind Mini Dress in a Black and White Print . Before Twelve Long Sleeve MIni Dress in Black . The Jade Midi Dress and The Solo Dance Midi Dress in Black. One half of the collection is available to purchase online now, with additional pieces available in August. To shop the Stevie May Eclipse Collection click here.

The Fifth Label Off The Grid

It’s becoming obvious (to me, anyway) that I seem to be wearing the same kind of things over and over again this winter. That includes just three staples in particular; Slouchy sweaters, cozy cover-ups and skinny jeans. Each in a varying shade of black. There are two very simple reasons for this. First, all of the styles mentioned are fail-safe items that have sufficiently gotten me through the recent chilly mornings and rainy days. Second, I can’t seem to get out of bed in the morning. As a result on a typical day, I have about twenty minutes to get ready and dressed before racing out the door…

Luckily the new collection from The Fifth Label, Off The Grid covers all my current needs and more. With it’s effortless and perfectly curated range of jersey basics, over-sized knitwear and relaxed pant styles in grey, navy and black. It also includes asymmetric shapes, stepped hems and denim details. All of which will easy elevate my current winter wardrobe routine. My favourite pieces from the range; The Burning Colour Shirt in Blue Denim . The Landing Jumper in Grey . City Haze Tee in Grey . Infinity Long Sleeved Top and the Infinity Tank in White.

Stomping Grounds Dress and Stomping Grounds Shirt and Shorts. To shop the current Zulu And Zephyr Ranger collection, and look out for additional pieces which will be arriving shortly click here.

Keepsake The Label Foundations

Keepsake The Label Foundations Keepsake-June-13

Life has been so overrun with work and other things lately that I haven’t had a chance to focus on my blog in weeks. However the chaos is finally clearing and I promise to make more time to properly keep you in the loop. First, with the enchanting new collection from Keepsake The Label. A range consisting of fluid trench coats, flared pants, mini length dresses and off the shoulder styles. I have to admit, some pieces aren’t ideal for the cooler weather. However there really is no better time than the present to begin planning your new spring wardrobe. Especially one which features pretty pastel tones, softly flushed neutrals, navy and black. All imbued with a sense of romance, delicate lace, flowing silks and a deconstructed beauty.

My favourite piece from the collection is the perfect little black dress for the season ahead; The Much More Mini Dress in Black. Featured in the very first and very last image above. I love that this dress is also perfectly teamed with the Be Still Flared Pants for a fresh take on this current trend. You can find the dress and buy it for yourself at the Fashion Bunker by clicking here. Other pieces from this collection that I absolutely love include; The Shake It Up Dress in Navy . Tomorrow Mini Dress in Black . Not To Be Mini Dress in Black . Much More Maxi Dress in Black and the Chain Reaction Trench Coat in Black.
