With the weekend approaching, there is no better way to unwind then with a night on the town with your girlfriends! For occasions such as this, I love pairing girlie clothing, with sleeker pieces to create more of an urban feel for the night.

I’m a fan of mixing high and low price point pieces together to create fun looks that will mix and mingle with other pieces in your wardrobe.

Couldn’t resist the coral coloured dress – perfect for summer!

This outfit would be perfect for someone that has an hourglass figure or an A figure (i.e. pear shape) as it focuses on the waist. This is crucial for hourglass and A shapes – always define your waist! The fabric of the dress is beautifully draped, so it will fall nicely along the curves of the body perfectly. Delicious!

Haute Tropic Dress (Modcloth) $53.99
Aldo Shoes $90.00
Big Buddha Bag $90.00
Shifting Gears Jacket $94.99

Our recent trip to Italy had us visiting one of Italy’s most fashionable stores called Luisaviaroma. Established by the current owners’ grandmother (Louisa), the Florentine store has stayed on top of fashion trends for the last century and has evolved into a fashion powerhouse with the introduction of ecommerce 10 years ago. A huge bonus is the free shipping worldwide offered by the fashion website.

We liked these artful shoes, as we call them, because they remind us of modern art. These are two completely different looks for different occasions.

The first one, a colorful patchwork bootie from Y-3 would be perfect with a pair of skinny jeans and a sporty jacket, throw on your Lovequotes scarf and aviator glasses for cool urban daytime look. The second ,high heel stilettos from Nicholas Kirkwood, are definitely for day to nighttime affair. Wear in the fall with the new sock and peep toe look for maximum exposure. Going to an art gallery opening? Watch out cause your shoes just might steal the show!

These astonishingly detailed dresses or tunics on ancient Greek and Roman statues might be at least two thousand years old, but as they say ‘everything old is new again.’  in the fashion world. The fashion designers of the day probably had no idea that their fashions would inspire two millennia worth of interpretation and imitation of this draped “Greek Goddess” fashion trend. If in fact imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then these ancient fashion designers have received much praise over the years to say the least. Draped and wrap dresses are a part of nearly ever fashion collection season after season. These dresses truly are a timeless look, just check out our modern day look a likes. Complete the look with a pair of gladiator sandals and you are ready for the time machine indeed. Here are some stylish summer dresses based on fashion trends started by the Greek/Roman tunic.

While there have been rumours for some time, Lorenzo Martone confirmed on Twitter that he and Marc Jacobs have been split up for some time now.
