They are big, they are oversized and they are quirky. Can’t tell you how much I love these tops with exaggerated sleeves. They definitely give a stylish edge to the simple tops. Here are some of my favourites :-

Once I have done checking out herco at wwbw.com, I hopped over to my favourite store for some retail therapy. I am so in love with the current pinstripe shirt trend. Can you believe it that I have not bought anything in that design at all? So after seeing all these gorgeous tops from Zara, I cannot wait to check them out at their store. Here are what I want :-
Poplin Striped Tunic. I love the buttons on the sleeve
Off-the-shoulder poplin top. I love boatneck lapel and the huge cuff.
Denim is a versatile material that does not go out of fashion and is something you can wear throughout the year. Who doesn’t like Denim eh? The apparel can be casual and also transformed into statement pieces with just some added accessories. Dark denim jeans is a wardrobe staple. Style it with a white button-on shirt for office and add on a statement necklace and you are good to go for dinner. Just spotted some lovely denim pieces at Madewell.

There are certain fashions that many, including me, would avoid as they are not very flattering to the body. The latest trend seems to be the baggy tunics or oversize blouses. They are so popular right now that I want to get one for myself.
However, there are ways that these pieces can work for practically everyone. The baggy tunics should be paired with slim trousers or leggings. Wearing a skirt with the tunic is a big no-no because that would add volume to the body. If you feel that the baggy top is making you feel shapeless, you can throw on a belt or a big statement necklace. The belt can define a waist and the necklace will affect the way the top falls over the bust. So how do you like to wear your baggy tunics?
I just love the off-shoulder trend that has taken the fashion world by storm. It is the favorite trend this summer. Do you know that this style has been around since the 50’s? Just google it and you will find images of women wearing off-shoulder tops and dresses (see Brigitte Bardot or Grace Kelly). There are so many different styles on how to wear off-shoulders this season. Here are some of my favorites :-

I was reading this article from Who What Wear about how soon would you dress your child in designer clothes. I have been seeing photos online of children dressing up like the adults and with coiffed hair. There are also a number of instagram stars with thousands of followers. Unless you are born with a silver spoon, I don’t think one can afford designer clothing all the time especially children who grow out of their clothes very quickly. As for me, I like to buy brands like Zara, H&M and Mango for my kid. I love their style and they are easy on the pockets too. What about you? Do you dress your kids in designer clothes?

I used to find wearing denim with denim pretty boring and would not wear anything in denim from head to toe. A denim dress or jumpsuit is different though. What I mean is wearing a denim top with a denim pants or skirt or shorts. I think pairing a lighter denim top with a darker denim pants is not too bad. Denim on denim trend is back this season. What do you think of the double denim trend? Can you pull it off?
Recently the Duchess of Cambridge paid a visit to India with the Duke of Cambridge Prince William. The fashion world went into a frenzy after photos of the duchess emerged. I must say that she has such a great fashion style. Besides clothes by Anna Sui, Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham, the Duchess wore clothes by famous Indian designer as well. I love her effortlessly chic style. I was so impressed with her when she demonstrated her ukulele skill during a hospice visit last year that I went to check out the guitar center ukelele tuner. She is inspirational.
Dress from Topshop (I bet the dress flew off the shelves in Topshops all over the world)
One of the latest trends this year that I simply adore. The puffed up designs on the sleeves add a sophisticated but fun edge to things. We will be seeing lots of ruffles, puffy sleeves and high-collar necklines this season. Here are some of my favourite looks. Have you got them in your wardrobe?
Have you been seeing women walking around in their pjs lately? If you are like me and were wondering what’s going on, well wonder no more. The PJs look is in right now. Not only would you look chic in the bedroom, you can even do so when you are out. I still cannot embrace this style yet. What about you?
Both PJs blouse are available at Asos.
