ZARA Kimono | ZARA Trousers | LIPSY Bralet | H&M Bra | OFFICE Heels This Spring, I’m edging more towards pieces that not only have an effortless appeal, but have a fluidity about them. I love the easiness of this Kimono-Trouser combo from Zara. It’s jacquard print decorated so beautifully on the fabric reminds me of those traditional Kimonos from Japan, but with a softness of feel. I thought to complement it with a lace bralet and rose detailed clutch. The shoes, not photographed, were simple minimal heels.

Paris, duh! 😉 My friend Abi and I took a little trip across the channel to rediscover Paris and its beauty, and ofcourse to exercise our palettes and get a spot of shopping done.  Although I’m a heavy planner, I do love these spur of the moment trips from time to time, they remind me to make the most of my youth, flexibility and independence, and as Abi and I were saying, a time a will come were it… Read More »
