A tropical print on the darker side. The bright colours of the leaves really pop against the pitch black, making this halter a true stunner – especially with that sexy cross-back!

Here’s the tropical print in a vibrant collision of colours. A simple short-sleeved romper, with cute little wooden buttons down the front.

Summer Essential: The Playsuit

June 20th, 2014

The perfect alternative to a dress or a skirt, playsuits are cool, comfy, and perfect for frolicking in!

Born in New York in the 1930s, playsuits (also known as rompers or onesies) soon became a beachwear essential in the 1940s. Women wore them to play sports or just to lounge around in. Marilyn Monroe glammed it up in the 1950s, and in the 1960s and 1970s, they became the in-thing to wear to the dance clubs!

Well, come 2014 and the timeless playsuit is still around! Looks like the trend is here to stay for decades to come!

Hit the town in this playful and sexy 1980s candy-striped strapless playsuit.
Size: XS/S

Ok, so this one is little more conservative than the one featured above, but it’s a still a fun piece, with its cute and colourful floral prints! Dress it up with heels and a clutch bag, or dress it down with sandals and a simple sling bag for casual and lazy days.
Size: Sm/M

MOD alert! Check out this fabulous 1960s skort shift dress in bold white, red and blue graphic prints! Cuteness!
