By Malene Birger SS 2013

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you've all recovered from the festivities and are rearing to go for 2013.  We've been keeping our eyes on all the loveliness coming our way this Spring, here's a sample of what's to come from By Malene Birger - we are loving the bright-bordering on neons!

Personal fave this one! White lace over bright yellow = summer perfection!

What do you think?

Happy New Year

Well, this old year is almost ended

there's been a lot of highs & some lows  - that we will not be gazing nostalgically back at on this blog

as we have our eyes firmly set on the brand, spanking, shiny, New Year ahead!

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy & stylish 2013!

Party outfits

Thank goodness we've made it to Friday! Any party plans for the weekend? Whether you like glitz & glamour, or prefer pared back chic - these offering are sure to tempt you!

Dazzle in this sequin shift from Set - looks amazing on curves!

Dare to step out in Malene Birger's jumpsuit - the gold harness is optional but we think it's a must-have!

Give your look a shot of festive glamour with this Tux jacket from Ms Birger-(another one for our must-have list) - whether you wear it with black pants, over a dress or throw it on with jeans, it's a stunning addition to your wardrobe.

American Retro pairs glamour & laid back cool so effortlessly.  The jacket lends an air of old Hollywood glamour when worn over dresses, and makes jeans look edgy.

 Sweet & simple, Ganni's textured dress in burgundy is flirty, fun and a classic style.  Looks great with opaque tights and heels/boots, add some stacked bangles and a simple necklace and you are good to go!

Party Hair

It's the run up to Xmas - so many parties/drinks do's to go to! We have all your outfit needs covered (just pop in to see us!) but in case you need help planning your party hair, here's some inspiration from a few of our favourite looks:

The braid is one of our all time favourites! This messy fishbone one is stunning!

Quiffs & Bouffants are also great (and a little easier to do than the braids if you're short on time!), we think this side part, backcombed, low pony is  elegant & fun:

Without the backcombing, it's effortless chic:

How cool is the Quiff? Simple to do too - just blow dry your hair upside down with a little root spray to give extra lift.  Then back-comb at the top before smoothing the quiff into place, and smoothing the sides down.

  

Accessories can add a touch of polish and really finish off your look:

Last but not least - the classic bun. Timeless elegance!

Enjoy your Thursday people. Tomorrow is Friday and hopefully you all have lots of lovely things planned for the weekend - get out there and try a new look!
