Blackout


Most of the time, the fashion scene is a source of confusion, with bomber jackets hitting stores during the mid-season take over and romantic blouses landing in shops for the start of fall. It is no wonder we forget the difference between a trend and an ever green style. Classic pieces are at a rare point, when we desire something so simple that can be worn quite often without clashing our individuality. This defiantly isn’t the case when it comes to some outlandish show pieces. I don’t know about you but the last thing on my mind is desiring something with literally a face on it. I don’t know what designers are thinking when it comes to the fall line-up. It is as if they lost all creativity or forgot what it means when it comes to simplicity.

Pre-collections provide customers with a see what is hot now-buy-right-away option, this can be disheartening to some consumers who are frankly just looking for something not futuristic. Edgy silhouettes can be fun to play around with but mixing patterns and colours can sometimes be overwhelming. Certain styles start to look the same after a while and become rather basic. How do you fix this fashion depressed feel? Try some fashion-inspo via Instagram of course! I love seeing different styles captured in such a fun and creative way. You can find an evening look in two seconds by also looking at Pinterest boards that have a luxe and dressy feel.

My style tends to be dressy in general, even when I wear something casual. It can be difficult to find that perfect look that makes you light up with ease and beauty. If you are heading to an event, it is important to rediscover some designers you never thought could make you a hit at that chic party in Soho. When I discovered Jessica Faulkner’s designs, I was blown away by the versatility each garment possessed. Jessica has an eye for detail that elevates her contemporary collection of tailored pieces that fit an ideal woman who is bold in her style selection, powerful in her heart and can go head to head with the boys in top notch style. Faulkner embodies pure elegance with being effortlessly comfortable in her own skin. She never strays away from easy to wear fashion that is versatile while still being her signature.

When I needed an evening look for a show stopping event, I knew these items selected would be a grand hit from the start. The Lara sheer crop top is the perfect blouse to add a bit of romance to your wardrobe without being over the top. This silk fabric is so soft and gorgeous to the touch. At first glance, I feel in love with this sultry silhouette. The flirty top can help you get in touch with your feminine side while being paired so perfectly with a pair of Ali lambskin leather sport shorts. These leather shorts are perfect for taking your evening look to a new level. These fashion shorts have such a chic, rock and roll vibe that I just love.

What goes with the hippest look? The ultimate no fuss accessory. The Courtney geometric clutch brings a much needed edge to any polished look. For me this was the perfect clutch since it fits my needed essential’s and has an easy magnetic snap closer. That is a deal breaker for me, no one wishes to stand forever trying to get your bag open. This clutch is a life saver when it comes to comfort and easy access. The asymmetrical soft envelope patchwork and soft lining makes this clutch so unique, it stands out of the fashionable crowd. The soft lambskin leather and luxe style makes this a must have in my book.

I wanted to create a look that poured over so effortless into my own style. The evening took a turn for the dramatic with a mix of casual leather shorts, a silky crop top, and swirling leather clutch staring in a major moody mysterious blackout.

These are the pieces in the back of your wardrobe that you know will make you feel beautiful, sexy, and effortless. This outfit projects confident, while being ready to rule the party scene. Let’s be honest hear, everyone needs a little leather to spice things up now and then.
