Brocade with love

This week is all about love and as I said before, I am in love with brocade! I love brocade’s incredible ornate detailing, the audacious color combinations, and unique fabrics. Brocade is like elaborately decorated armor that helps you dazzle your way through the day and when it comes to brocade the bolder the better, which makes me love it even more! I love mixing prints and highly recommend this with brocade, but if you are feeling a little timid pair brocade with a neutral color and of course, always mix textures!

Sandwiched between fashion weeks worldwide, awards season is the most fashionable and fabulous time of year! Celebs pull out all the stops and bring their fashion A game to the red carpet (obviously with the help of a seasoned team of stylists). This year was particularly glamorous with strong silhouettes, bold colors (and a lot of white), and flawless accessories!
