FRIDAY FAVOURITES: Warehouse Fashion

My Polyvore

The calm after the storm, winter starts to drift back off into the horizon for another year; the work load lays off, the stress dissolves, hair is let down and the weather begins to shyly hint those excitable notes of warmth that has been so patiently waited for through a bitter Winter season.

♡Welcome to Spring.♡

Aside the mass boom of vivacious florals and the conspicuous smiles of the sun-deprived world, there's nothing I truly love more than the rebirthing of pastel lace; it's girly, it's flirty and it's the easiest yet most charming thing one could possibly wear.

The Warehouse has been doing lace on and off for a few years now, though pleased to say I find the SS14 lineup the most promising so far. It's incredibly adaptable to anyone's individual style, not to mention the lace and pastel combination hints at the angelic innocence of beauty.

Top Favourites:

1. 

Perfect for those days when it's still quite chilly. 

I find this jumper absolutely stunning in a sense that it 

emanates a modernist yet conservative warmth to it - 

the combination of smart/casual makes it perfect to wear either

around the house with a pair of Ugg boots, or out to a nice

dinner in white washed jeans and boots.

2. 

I love shift dresses. 

The colour of this dress reminds me of a seven a.m. start - crisp and fresh, ready to 

take on the day. 

I like how this dress pulls in at the waist to for more figure definition

as sometimes, with shift dresses, the general sharp cut of the garment completely obscures the natural figure - good in some ways, but bad in others. 

I can imagine myself wearing this with Marc Jacob's Spring perfumes, Honey or Dot, and maybe a pair of white heels

3.

BEAUTIFUL!
I love the colour, I love the shape of the dress. I love the lace.

I love how this dress is so feminine and girly, yet the lace and the low back gives it a bit more

of a sexiness for night time wear. 

I think this dress would be perfect on it's own with a pair of nude heels (as to not

distract the eye from the dress)

This dress also comes in a royal navy blue, though I prefer the red as it is more eycatching haha.

4.

It's no secret that I have an obsession for blazers - I find them perfectly chic and sophisticated.

The use of the lace aids to the femininity of the blazer and kind of tones down on the 

harshness of the sharp edges, like shoulders pads and the cut off sleeves, that would 

generally feature on the blazer. 

I love how it is white, meaning you could wear it with practically anything. I think this blazer and both

the above dresses would make a flawless combination, perfect to dance into

for Spring.

TUESDAY STYLE SPOTTED: Felipe Oliveira Baptista Spring 2014

Felipe Oliveira Baptista Spring 2014 Campaign

Minimalism 

Several of the aspects I identify as the most defining feature coinciding with classic pieces is the use of linear cut and block coloured garments without the need for adding a thousand textures to create one pool of eye and mind confusing chaos (*cough* Prada 2014)

I believe the perfect outfit consists of equilibrium between something that looks ground-breaking on the runway, but also something that one can wear on the streets without looking like a bouffant.

To follow through with this, the act of wearing a single designer from head-to-toe will submerge the look in to chaos and flashy vulgarity, however, Bapista's absence of trending texture and juxtaposing colour makes this rare look applicable.

While Felipe Oliveira Bapista's work doesn't quite date back to the iconic works of Chanel-Chanel or Schiaperelli, having only opened his self-titled house in 2003. I find a sense of this harmonious equilibrium carried through the his works, iconised by Chanel and Schiaperelli.

Exploring in to a more minimalist territory that differs against the vibrance of his last Spring line, and distinguishes him from the boisterous textures of other high-end lines, Bapista has taken a minimalistic approach to his Spring line, hinting military and sophisticated masculine undertones, while softening this with the use of lighter colour connotation.

Ma Look Préférée:
Whether it is the photography, the mise-en-scene or the garment choice, this image clearly stands out as significantly more elegant, delineating not only a look of sophistication, but emanating an unobtrusive storyline to complete the whole look.

This look consists of a powerful mix between street-style and High-End chic, though not too bold to make the whole look overwhelming - a rare combination in modern day fashion.

The crisp white swing coat allows for a rare versatility between dressing up or down, whether it be an eye catching purse, shoes, or statement jewellery to add a smidgen of colour to the otherwise, minimalist look.

Call it boring, but after all, less is more, wouldn't you agree?
