The blog will continue!

Dear readers, 
The blog moved since last year to it's current and permanent location, the website! www.xtravagans.com and also we are very active on our Facebook page.
I've realized that it's great to read comments straight from the editorials, so from time to time I will bring here special editorials to discuss further. 
All the best,

Simple Minimalism

Simple lines, tailoring, easy to wear and restraint are words that describe the minimalism trend. Less is more is the key phrase for this look!

Bright shiny colors don’t represent this look; if you want to achieve the best minimalist look then it is best to opt for clean colors like black, white, navy, grey, beige, nude, camel. As long as you don’t accessorize this look with more than it needs, you will be fine.

Key pieces for this look this season are simple suits, shift dresses, long skirts, and jumpsuits. The approach to accessorize these looks would be just with earrings, or a simple bracelet. Handbags should be the simplest cut and if they have a vintage flair even better…

3 simple looks…

Military look

Whether it is the color or the military look this is a key trend this season, perfect for October & November as the leaves turn color.

Personally I don’t like on me the literal “very military” look but I do enjoy very much the olive green color to combine with browns, beiges, and camels. I believe that if there is a certain look that is too literal and you feel is not for you, but you appreciate other things from that look that is what matters!

So for me, the best advice I can give you is to work with the illusion of what could be, and work with the color to get the military look. Of course if you enjoy all the military items, do go for it, just remember to edit accordingly and also remember that less is more in this particular case.

Here are some green military illusion looks to give ideas…

1 ALICE + OLIVIA  combine this wool sweater with a leather jacket, or an aviator shearling coat.
2 JOSEPH  this wonderful cape gives the sense of the military, just alone is more than enough for the military “illusion” look.
3 ROKSANDA ILINCIC  this vintage style forrest green dress, ideal for the evening, dress it down with a leather jacket. The shape of the dress is great for all figures it, enhances and it hides.
4 J. CREW   perfect look for work. Keep it simple and try not to add more, unless we accessorize with a long chain necklace.
5 SPORTMAX  Also great look for work, pair it with brown or black blazer and if you wish to dress it down with a leather jacket.

Have a wonderful week.
