Soles make a shoe lover’s heart beat faster!

The shift dress doesn’t have any waist definition and therefore are worn best by lean columns, rectangles, apples and neat hourglass body shapes.

]]> Floral prints are back, but this time with a big bang. They are big, bold, in bright colours and eye popping prints. There is nothing discreet about them, so you need to wear them with a bit of an attitude. Some prefer to wear them from head to print, others pair them with clashing colours- such as coloured denim- or print- I prefer  to tune them down with some neutral colours. Otherwise I feel they are wearing me and not visa versa- but this is down to personal preference and style personality. One of my favourite prints are from a newly discovered brand: “ Stolen Girlfriends Club”. Their printed blouse is simply divine and such a great wardrobe edit for us pear shaped women, but as well for lean columns, neat hourglass and rectangle. While printed tee luxe and printed shift dresses  are best left to lean columns, rectangles and neat hourglasses.

Here is some background information for those who have not heard of “Stolen Girlfriends Club”. They are the result of the coming together of a “motley crew of surfers done good”, otherwise known as friends Dan, Marc and Luke. Working from their Auckland base, these creatives didn’t establish themselves with the intention of becoming a cult fashion brand, but fell into the trade through a series of creative flirtations resulting in a fabulous t-shirt line that sealed the deal.

Don’t you just love this story- must get my hands on that printed make me feel good blouse!
