One of my favourite pieces to wear this season are maxi (dresses and skirts). Why?! Well…they are uber comfy and lightweight, they come in a plethora of different styles and patterns (I particularly love the designs shown above) and they are sooo comfy (did I say that already?!…well, you get my point!). Want your outfit on fleek? Pair your maxi with a denim jacket or if you prefer something less heavy, a chambray shirt. Roll of your sleeves or go sleeveless and accessorize your arms with a few bangles or stacked bracelets. Grab your clutch & sunnies, put on your favourite pair of sandals and you’re good to go! You really can’t go wrong with this look. Simple, casual but flaw-l-e-s-s. Check out a few of my inspirational boards featuring denim jackets & maxi dresses!

Will you be rocking denim & maxis this Spring?

Trending: Lace!

Posted in Fashion by Marysa

Who said lace is best worn as an undergarment?

Lace lingerie can be very sexy but there are other ways to wear lace that can/will exude sexiness when paired with the right pieces.

The perfect lace dress, skirt or shirt can make all the difference in creating a chic and polished look. Still hesitant!? See for yourself…

J.Lo in Balmain!

Posted in Fashion by Marysa

Jennifer Lopez wore a Balmain sheer panelled sheath dress in white for an appearance at the Jimmy Kimmel Live show this week and I must say that she looked absolutely stunning!!! With those legs, how could she not.

This dress is currently available at BARNEYS NEW YORK in black and white.
The catch: it retails at $1815! 👀
