I am Ruffled this Summer

Submitted by kaffydee on Sun, 2008-07-27 12:10. (from Viva La Stylish Living)

Since my love isn't currently manifested in a physical being, I 'll keep it investing in Fashion & Styling. I'm having a wonderful Summer so far (except for the odd chilly or rainy day here and there); the shops are brimming with wonderful cute dresses, skirts, and shirts; holidays are being planned; weddings are there to attend and celebrate, what more could I possibly ask for (duh, a man). Yet, my new job keeps hitting me harder and harder, each day with more projects, hence I barely have time to hit the shops or blog here. On top of it all, I have house guests who need attending to and entertained. This is all in a working day for the fashionista, it ain't easy I tell thee (said in a regional British accent adopted from my friend)However, I am here to spread the word on fabulous looks that would help keep your summer rolling smoothly along and maybe trigger off the required level of romance you should be looking for or you are entitled to (yeah, what do I know about romance, look at my relationship status pleaseeeee, lol).Anyway, a lot of designs this season have focused on certain themes such as the 'Grecian' theme with one-arm tops and dresses, 'Star' themes with star-spotted prints in all sorts of fabrics, and one which I haven't highlighted yet 'Ruffles'. An amazing amount of beautiful clothing are being sold all highlighting the 'Ruffle' theme and believe me, you can go wrong with any of the favourites I have picked (the deciding factor would be your 'Budget').Join me as I tuck in:This Ruffle-front Blouse by Duck and Cover (http://www.duckandcover.co.uk/) is casually beautiful, and when combined with shorts or skinny jeans would be absolutely magic.Jaeger's Purple Ruffle silk blouse is such a beautiful garment calling out in a loving whisper. The ruffled collar and puff short sleeve just do the job (you get the general idea).Roberto Cavalli's (http://www.robertocavalli.com/) Olive Green oversized Ruffle Top falls in line with the theme and would do well with a white pair of trousers to give a fresh look at any evening event.This one-arm Ruffled Dress by Lanvin (http://ww.lanvin.com/) is sleek and pretty in a chocolate brown colour giving a subdued sexiness.This simple cream blouse by Miss Selfridge (http://www.missselfridge.com/) works for a daytime look to the office or getting around with you daily routines. Simple and nice.Jumpsuits are back again but in softer fabrics and accented by feminine features to make them appeal to all. This crepe Ruffle jumpsuit by SEA NY (http://www.sea-ny.com) with its ruffled front tugs at my heart and alas, I have to share it with you.If all the piece above are beyond you, the high street meets your needs quite well. New Look (http://ww.newlook.co.uk) has these two ruffled tops I absolutely think are a must-have and a best-buy. The snake print top works well for the evening look and the white ruffled shirt looks good beneath a suit jacket for the formal look or even beneath a tuxedo jacket.I am famished and need replenishment so I shall catch up with your fashionable selves very soon. Ciao
