ala Flamenco: Prada, Wide Ruffles and the Fishtail Skirt.

One of my favorite looks this season is flamenco inspired wide ruffle skirts and dresses. This ultra feminine look is either full skirts with wide ruffles or slim pencil fishtail skirts and I adore how Prada has used so much color, making these pieces lively and fun to wear.

The colorful materials and exciting patterns of these pieces are not only gorgeous and flattering but also fun to wear. Any of these looks can be perfectly paired with this seasons wedges and wrapped sandals for a phenomenal ultra-feminine flamenco-inspired look!
Have a lovely day everyone!

Plaid, Tweed and Falling Leaves

It seems like every year around this time I keep my eye open for great plaid and tweed pieces. It isn't an easy task- as plaid can be so masculine or cheaply made, but I keep an eye open for fitted plaid pieces and feminine ways to wear them. Here are my favorite so far..
