When it comes to rock & roll in all layers, what really stands above the crowd has to be the free spirit. Having that ultimate vibe of non-stop adventure while losing yourself in the city, makes summer that more exciting. When it comes to style inspiration, it seems a lot of brands are gathering looks with retro influences and infusing them with a modern flavour. This seems to be a great way to bring back some old school favourites.
Who knew that mixing 90’s trends with pure classics could really get our eyes popping. Don’t get me wrong, some 90s styles should stay hidden and never see the light of day again. While others, can be allowed to come out into the spotlight for some fun adventures. People look for summer to escape and just enjoy the change of season. Continue your soul of wonder getting lost in the city, with people and the night sky. Don’t be afraid to mix these styles into your amazing wardrobe.
Classic Leather Jacket

You really can’t get any more classic then a nice leather jacket. This is every rocker’s staple and a truly versatile material. The best leather jackets can be found in many places. They are the ultimate jacket for looking super cool when you need to take your outfit up a notch. Not only does a key piece journey with you, looking good no matter what the trend climate may dictate, but the right one will get better with age.

Remember that the best leather jackets get softer-they retain their shape (although leather does stretch a little after the first few wears, so buy a snug size if you desire a close fit). Naturally, finding The One is hard-it’s a commitment. But it is well worth it when you can get your hands on a real gorgeous beauty. All Saints is the best brand when it comes to the most iconic leather jackets. Their new campaign for summer, has all the rocker vibes we crave for.
Today’s leather jackets are so much more than a line-up of black bikers (however, should a classic moto make your heart skip a beat, that’s entirely alright in my book). Whether you are the stud muffin who likes some edge, or a lover of an unusual colour, or sleek, there are many options to make you so happy.

What does summer mean to you? The beginning of booking that needed holiday in Venice, capturing some breath-taking photos of floral and colour madness, being one step closer to freshen up your delightful outfit choices. To me, it signifies weather changes and high time to revamp the gorgeous wardrobe. I casually, turn on music with some much-needed soul, and carefully go through what doesn’t impress me anymore. You know that item you just had to have at one point or another? Well, for the season comes new change. And it is important to ditch what is old and bring in what is new.
It is life or death, to make room for the first purchase of the summer: you guessed it, a bag! Whether it is a classic, that gets your heart racing, or a bold tone to showcase your impeccable style. A new bag can make all the difference in your summer outfit.
It can make you feel like you are cleansing your soul, and bringing out another part of your awesome personality. Because we are all just to amazing, right? We all know the typical brands that scream our names, every time we pop into social media for a taste. Chanel, always a classic. Gucci, seems to be on trend at the moment. And of course, Hermes, which most people couldn’t give a kidney away to possess.
But, what about those brands no one talks about that much? Don’t they deserve recognition and love to? Take a step, in the right direction and check out these top 5 most underrated designer handbags. This just might make your start to summer that more electrifying.
Hot Child in The City
In June 2000, Ghesquiere introduced the First bag, which was fallowed, eighteen months later, by the City, the much-admired, zippered, top-handled tough-chic no nonsense bag for which style-setters went wild over. It was a fresh design, that stood out in a good way.

Not only is it perfect for travel, but it resembles a bad girl biker jacket in the shape of a bag. How cool is that? Till this day, it is still a popular style and really one of my favourite underrated bags. The City, comes in a variety of different leathers, colours, and sizes. You can find just the right one to suit your style.
Oh, Oh Fendi
In 1965, Karl Lagerfeld’s collaboration with Fendi began. The genius designer, wanted to create a more fun and youthful approach to the label to bring in a more playful attitude for consumers. Lagerfeld had a few much-needed tricks up his sleeve. He grabbed a piece of paper and designed the iconic Zucca, or Double F.

Even now, this retro style from Fendi has been popping up everywhere and still giving off a fun vibe. Besides the Zucca print, the brand has so many other chic styles to pick from.
The Edge Master of Givenchy

Hubert de Givenchy was tall, elegant, and had the most beautiful hands. He could create the most delicate things. His kindness, to everyone and his generosity is what made this man a true legend of his craft.
His label is not only legendary, but it packed a punch with some edgy and elegant pieces. His bags are always belle, and know how to work their way into anything you wear.
The Monogram for Days
Louis Vuitton has been around for decades, and has a variety of styles to pick from. What makes this French brand so appealing, has to stem from its history. But another obvious attraction has to be the retro appearance. When used often, your LV bag changes and becomes vintage and oh so chic to the eye.
 |
| Photo: Street Style Getty Images |
It has that casual feel, without looking like a hot mess. The monogram is so noteworthy, you can see it from far away. This can either put you off, or make you wish to know more. If you are looking for a great hobo bag, or cross body, Mr Vuitton has you covered.
Classic Meets Futuristic with Dior
I know Dior tends to be considered a classic, much like Chanel. But it seems to be not as popular on the designer bag addiction scale. So, what made this name come up? It all started when Dior kept their classic bags and mixed it up with the Diorama bag. Not only is this bag really pretty, but it makes you feel elegant while still being really modern. The features give it this hard exterior while still looking ravishing. You can wear this bag while you’re out shopping, then turn around and rock it with a cocktail dress for a truly elegant dinner. If this style isn’t for you, Dior has so many other designs to get your handbag pallet satisfied.
These underrated bags are so perfect for just about anyone’s style.
How can you not resist these beauties?

From all across social media, clear bags have been popping up faster than freshly baked cookies in the oven. Are these bags chic? Or could they be simply novelties? The clear PVC reminds me of those clear makeup bags. Remember those? That being said, when it comes right down to it. Fashion has always been spontaneous. And to the average onlooker, it may appear to be a clown act some trends. Fashion at times, is not always meant to be practical. Experimenting with fashion, means you can have a lot of fun. Why take fashion, or life to seriously right? The clear bags are not a new it thing. In fact, the style itself goes back to some retro areas.
Take Elizabeth Taylor, for example. She was always a massive fan of the clear bags for style purposes. And now transparent bags are being adopted into the new style trends for 2018. Karl Lagerfeld, created clear bags, boots, and rain hats for Chanel’s 2018 Spring Collection. The more I looked at them, I found them to be quite charming in a fun way.

Sure, not everyone will be a fan of showing off what they carry in their bags on a daily basis. Who wishes to see your tangled-up headphones, or any other unusual accessories? Wearing a clear bag can bring out the artist in you, and have you get creative with your styling choices. Whether you’re picking out brightly coloured pouches to organise your plastic bag or finding a muted palette to go with your neutral shoes. If you enjoy putting a look together, you can really go to town and get super creative.

The most popular styling is people showcasing their designer purses, card cases, and wallets in their clear bags. It shows off your eyes for design without being too flashy in a bad way. As lovely as this style maybe, you don’t have to shell out a lot of money to achieve this look. A lot of unknown brands are selling these plastic purses for a lot less. So, you don’t have to sacrifice a lot to still look incredibly stylish.

For some, a clear bag isn’t necessarily the easiest accessory to pull off-it puts all of your stuff on display rather than stashing it away from prying eyes, for one. If you are going to a rugby, football, or hockey game (where some arenas have policies that require you to have a clear bag), well, that is kind of the point, but on a typical basis the style has circulated well beyond game season.
One thing to note if you intend to use this style of bag on a daily basis. You must realise, it gives potential robbers, the golden opportunity to see exactly what you have in your bag. Whether, it is your mobile, card cases, and of course money. That is why it is best to avoid the tote styles, and instead buy a PVC cross-body instead. This way your content is safe across your body and your hands are free to roam the city.

Several designers have rendered their signature handbag silhouettes in transparent materials recently, rendering most popularity among the street style set, both for the striking bags themselves and for what’s inside. Fashionistas tend to choose what they bring strategically- bold cosmetics with pretty packaging, chic sunglasses, and logo purses.
This trend maybe fun, or cause you to run with horror. But the question remains, would you rock this look? Check out some more styles below and how you can wear this trend to.

There are certain style tricks I’ve discovered throughout my years as an editor that definitively help me tackle life’s pesky little obsolesces. An incredibly glamourous handbag can elevate your outfit tremendously, while diverting the attention from not being a morning person. A sleek pair of heels is your instant saviour when you feel down, for complete sex appeal.
And a pair of bold earrings will distract from a potentially bad hair day. This one I use on occasion, when you just don’t feel the need to style your hair. Who really has time? The best solution is a messy natural hair look. Like you just woke up looking fabulous. But mainly because I have fallen in love with bold statement earrings.

Since their rise to fame this year, striking earrings of every shape and variety have invaded our eyes. From dynamic danglers seen on the S/S 19 to the structural pieces fashionistas wear on the streets. And they’re no longer reserved for fancy cocktail parties, either. Larger-than-life earrings are perfect for a daytime affair to dress up a pair of classic skinny jeans, tees, and lovely dresses. They even make my V-neck black jumper look chic and striking.
Interesting Origin
Among people in the turn of the century, there was a considerable rise in popular belief in the therapeutic properties of stones: pearls were believed to remove stress and heart disease, while red coral was used to alleviate pain or heartache and to bring back cheerfulness; topaz cured mental illness and helped in love. In the rooms of high society, earrings became ever more lavish, and by 1700 took on the intricate form of lace or flakes, the so-called “girandole” earring.

Diamonds appeared on the scene, adding sparkle to evening events as they were illuminated by candlelight.
In addition, Strass crystals were invented precisely in 1700… and thus, while in the salons of high society the earring was emptied of meaning to become a symbol of mere vanity, among the lower realms of society they still maintained great symbolic and propitiatory value.
Costume jewellery has become a favourite among retro enthusiasts. Since the style was very popular in the early 80’s and 90’s. The classic statement, what is old is new again. Seems to be the popular theme for accessories for 2018. Even if a style seems trendy, bolder costume earrings are becoming an everyday must before heading into town.
A gorgeous pair of logo earrings has the same effect as a lovely pair of shoes. You feel lovely, dressed-up, and ready to face the day (even if you are still wishing it was the weekend). But really, it all depends on your personal preference. Just look at these gorgeous earrings!

In this annual sweet issue, let’s celebrate the power of sweets, inspiring bold pastel colours of the season. Whether you are a fan of sweet treats, or not. The most fashionable way to indulge is to get inspired from a delicious piece of cake while having a warm cup of tea. Peggy Porschen made a name for herself in the wedding-cake business, because of her great artistry, particularly her eye for detail and gorgeous sugar decorations. Anyone from around the globe can get a chance to taste Peggy’s cakes in her beautiful café.
The parlours candy-floss-coloured exterior, large Georgian windows and the warm glow makes it stand out, even by comparison to other cafes in the city. The interior of the café is bold sugar hues, pale furniture and porcelain tableware made to Peggy’s specifications. It is well coordinated and oh so cosy with a relaxing atmosphere.
The cakes are retro inspired, with nostalgic names such as banoffee, cream caramel. What I tried ranged from the most delectable sweets you will ever encounter. It was like a mega sugar rush and defiantly well worth the sweet treat. The sticky toffee cupcake was so delicious it melts in your mouth, with a burst of addictive flavour! The icing has a nice earthy contrast and the tarte cream cheese was out of this world. The moist texture of these desserts would drive you to order more for an important event.
It isn’t just wedding’s that Peggy is famous for. This charming café has some delectable treats for anyone to indulge in. The chocolate truffle cake is the best in town and her gourmet cookies are another story. If you are shopping for a special occasion, this café has wonderful personal gifts that will make anyone in your life smile.
Peggy’s tea blends, are inspired by her cakes, and are special in their own right; the fruit jellies taste like a sweet liquid cookie, warming you up on a cool refreshing day. The pretty dressed up staff are a delight and so knowledgeable. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you haven’t been here before, you really need to check this place out and pick up something sweet for later.
When looking at these unique cakes and desserts, the pastel colours are so inspiring in a fashionable way for May. Can a dessert truly make you desire bold colours in your outfit for the season? I think so, and make you stand out above the crowd.
Purple is the colour of loyalty, constancy to purpose, it is also the tone of dignity and self-respect and signifies bipartisanship. Not only that, but it was one of the three colours adopted by the suffragettes. Check out these designer accessories for less.
You can introduce different shades of purple into your wardrobe to bring out a pop of colour. Try out violet, lavender, and blue violet purple. They are universally flattering and the perfect tone for summer. If a purple dress is to scary, try coordinated pieces this way you get a taste without feeling overwhelmed.
According to social norms, the colour pink is unapologetic feminine, and represents compassion and love. This tone is so soft with an ease, that it becomes a more neutral colour.
You can match pastel pink with just about anything you own. Try mixing pink and purple together, to get that picture-perfect outfit.
Or be daring and try an all pink look. It can come off classy and really stand out in a lovely way.

How Sweet Desserts Inspire Colours Of The Season
In this annual sweet issue, let’s celebrate the power of sweets, inspiring bold pastel colours of the season. Whether you are a fan of sweet treats, or not. The most fashionable way to indulge is to get inspired from a delicious piece of cake while having a warm cup of tea. Peggy Porschen made a name for herself in the wedding-cake business, because of her great artistry, particularly her eye for detail and gorgeous sugar decorations. Anyone from around the globe can get a chance to taste Peggy’s cakes in her beautiful café.
The parlours candy-floss-coloured exterior, large Georgian windows and the warm glow makes it stand out, even by comparison to other cafes in the city. The interior of the café is bold sugar hues, pale furniture and porcelain tableware made to Peggy’s specifications. It is well coordinated and oh so cosy with a relaxing atmosphere.
The cakes are retro inspired, with nostalgic names such as banoffee, cream caramel. What I tried ranged from the most delectable sweets you will ever encounter. It was like a mega sugar rush and defiantly well worth the sweet treat. The sticky toffee cupcake was so delicious it melts in your mouth, with a burst of addictive flavour! The icing has a nice earthy contrast and the tarte cream cheese was out of this world. The moist texture of these desserts would drive you to order more for an important event.
It isn’t just wedding’s that Peggy is famous for. This charming café has some delectable treats for anyone to indulge in. The chocolate truffle cake is the best in town and her gourmet cookies are another story. If you are shopping for a special occasion, this café has wonderful personal gifts that will make anyone in your life smile.
Peggy’s tea blends, are inspired by her cakes, and are special in their own right; the fruit jellies taste like a sweet liquid cookie, warming you up on a cool refreshing day. The pretty dressed up staff are a delight and so knowledgeable. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you haven’t been here before, you really need to check this place out and pick up something sweet for later.
When looking at these unique cakes and desserts, the pastel colours are so inspiring in a fashionable way for May. Can a dessert truly make you desire bold colours in your outfit for the season? I think so, and make you stand out above the crowd.
Purple is the colour of loyalty, constancy to purpose, it is also the tone of dignity and self-respect and signifies bipartisanship. Not only that, but it was one of the three colours adopted by the suffragettes. Check out these designer accessories for less.
You can introduce different shades of purple into your wardrobe to bring out a pop of colour. Try out violet, lavender, and blue violet purple. They are universally flattering and the perfect tone for summer. If a purple dress is to scary, try coordinated pieces this way you get a taste without feeling overwhelmed.
According to social norms, the colour pink is unapologetic feminine, and represents compassion and love. This tone is so soft with an ease, that it becomes a more neutral colour.
You can match pastel pink with just about anything you own. Try mixing pink and purple together, to get that picture-perfect outfit.
Or be daring and try an all pink look. It can come off classy and really stand out in a lovely way.

When
it comes to tradition, May signifies wedding season. It is when people are
searching for something old, something new, and I think something blue if I am
not mistaken? As exciting as the preparations might be on your ‘special day,’ it
is the right dress that seems to send brides to be into whack jobs. If you
admire tradition then go ahead and be boring because for 2018! It is all about
ditching that white dress so out-while a white suit is so in.
Apparently,
if someone wears a leather jacket over a dress at their wedding it causes shock
waves. I don’t get why people act so silly oh my god did you see that? Are you literally
living under a rock people? I think overacting seems to be a trend so let’s cut
to the chase. You don’t have to be getting married to rock a white suit you can
just show up looking fabulous.
Origin of the Colour
White
represents purity, innocence, wholeness, and completion. The colour at its most
complete and pure is the colour of perfection. The psychological meaning of
white is new beginnings, of wiping the slate clean, so to speak. It is the
blank canvas waiting to be written upon with your words of wisdom. While white
may not be stimulating to the senses, it opens the way for the creation of
anything the mind can conceive.
White
contains an equal balance of all the colours of the spectrum, representing both
the positive and negative aspects of all colours. Its basic feature is
equality, implying fairness and impartially, neutrality and independence. The
colour itself gives off a feeling of brand new and brilliance which can
implicate a positive emotion.
Women’s suits
In the
first half of the 20th century, the skirted suit became the common daytime
city costume for women, in the workplace and out; dressmaker suits featured softer
fabrics and feminine details, and cocktail suits were worn for semi-formal occasion
in mid-century.
Under
the influence for Dress for Success, working women’s uniform of a skirted suit,
tailored skirt, and floppy tie evolved in the 1970s and 1980s. Pantsuits were
introduced by designer Andre’ Courreges in 1964 but were gradually accepted as
formal business attire.
In
the modern century, the suit for women has become a dressy version of the power
suit. And has the ultimate versatile styling all rolled into the right style to
showcase at your next meeting, or dinner party. 30 percent off accessories, to go with that gorgeous white suit.
Power Suit
To
really elevate your work wardrobe, add a white power suit to the mix. It defiantly
doesn’t have to be basic when it comes to a fresh tone. By sticking with a
tailored look, it can come off truly polished and well put together. Adding a
few colourful accessories can contrast perfectly with the white crisp suit. You
will look like the hot boss lady you were always meant to be.
After Work Hours
When
the hours are done and evening hits your face like a beautifully lit lamp post
on a gorgeous city street. All you desire is to get crazy with your girls and
have that much-needed drink and gossip about Cindy from accounting who couldn’t
stop eating those pastries earlier. Did you see her when she talked? I felt
like I got crumbs sprayed all over my face when she spoke. Slip out of those sensible
shoes from the office and into the clicking heels and sparkly clutch for the
best night on the town ever!
Contrasting Print
If
you are that cool girl that strays from tradition and really enjoys mixing
things up a bit, then you will gravitate to this look. Instead of a plain white
suit, try contrasting prints. It gives off a I just woke up like this relaxed
feel while still being crowd pleasing. Less is more, so don’t overdue the accessories.
Let the beautiful print speak for itself.
Stop Traffic
While
it is warming up a bit in some areas of the country. You can still show off
your impeccable style. Try a cigarette ankle trouser paired with a white retro
styled blazer and a midriff crop white blouse for some daytime sex appeal. By
pairing this look with nude heels, you can rock Fashion Week, or just look dam
good shopping. You only live, once right? Why not go out looking stunning and
stop traffic.
Not The Typical Bride
If
you are not the typical bride, then this style of suit is made for you. Instead
of searching for that perfect gown to showcase at your wedding try a cream
suit. It is not completely white but still a show stopping shade to say the
least especially, for this amazing time of year. Go for some detailed finishes like
a Victorian look meets Parisian delight. You can be that celebrity on the red
carpet at your own wedding for sure.
Considering
this for your next weeding? Whether you are the bride to be or just going to
support another bride, this style can be super chic if you work it right.
Replace tradition with a fashion forward white suit.
