Pyjama Party

Chrismas Holidays bring families closer, brighten up our lives, bring hope and joy to all and bring out the little kid inside us all, who is just waiting for a present for him/ her.

Holiday time also brings out the pyjama wearing pigtailed girl from our past and as the winters get colder and the fireplace warms up, there is no shame in snuggling up in a little flannel set!

Yes, as many times as people might make fun of the pyjama sets or remind us how wearing a cute little squirrel or a dog on a tee is so high school if not younger, we might not care less about their views after we have slept, draped in those cozy flannel pieces.

So, here's to us and to these cute little night suits that have been as much a part of growing up and holidays as egg nog and ginger bread cookies. And for those of you who want to sex it up a little try the comfy pyjama shorts with a tank instead. Or get cozy in a cute little romper or capris!!!

With all the hype and hoopla!!! the Met Gala brings every year, this was no different. A quick look at the celebrity styles and the... (let's call it the) prada-parade shows a glimpse of the latest trends, how they were incorporated into celebrity styling and what basic things to look out for when out shopping. What I found was a lot of runway trends (read pret looks) for daily wear could easily be picked up by just looking at the long trail of dresses.

Watch out for colors like cobalt blue, purple, amber, orange, Pink (quite big after the event), look out for hand embroidery- if not your taste- then go for ikat/ ombre/ tie-dye. As I keep mentioning, have a tote or an evening bag in a solid or neutral color always to compensate for the wild side of your outfit.

White/ pastel and milky hues- BIG for dresses
Color blocking- still going STRONG
Collars- in contrast color/ peter pan and similar are all IN
Faux fur- if it is getting sunnier by the day then incorporate it in accessories
Single shoulder dresses and Deep V necklines are all the RAGE
Pleats- weren't even that big when we were in school wearing them all day- GET THEM

Other random things to look out for:
Since Prada is running strong, if you are like me, you might not be able to get everything in trend from them (way outta my budget folks) but get the basics right and you could achieve the same look in any brand. Grab a deal when you get for skirts/ maxi-skirts/ pleated or floral. Go to Gap, H&M or Zara, maybe even FCUK/ AX for the same. If you can fit into FCUK- Good for you girl (sadly I can't since they stop their sizes before 30' that sucks and I hate them for it but....)
Footwear- go to Aldo- they have some awesome color blocked heels, visit local stores if not labels (you never know when you will find that perfect cinderella shoe in an alley shop)
If you are a wild child (like me) go to ironfist- I am currently ado-h-rinnnng their floral oxfords

Please, you have to own a bodycon or a onesie, if not fit for your figure accessorize- pair it with a tulle skirt or denim shorts for fun, add scarves and summer stoles, wear a sheer dress on top or a net/ lace number to make it even more in trend for this season (remember athletic chic from Alexander Wang).
And if it still doesn't appeal to you, buy yourself a romper and flaunt those lovely legs you've been running with to get them to shape.

So much more we can chat about when it comes to shopping. In the end (like I always say) wear what you buy confidently and buy what you fall in love with at a glance. It is how you wear it, that makes it a show stopper! Be blessed and wild always. xx
