Kimono Jacket DIY

Posted on May 29, 2015 by stylepointofview

I actually did a post a while ago about kimono jackets… but, yesterday I saw this:

H&M Linen Kimono

Ok, it’s perfectly affordable by anyone, but, if you already have one in the house… For example, I have a son, who is soon to be taller than me AND who happens to do judo. Now, in my case, this is going to be no use just yet, unfortunately this trend has come around a couple of years too soon for me, but if yours were to be the right height…

The next step of course is dyeing it, whichever colour you fancy.

You could even add some kind of trimming if you want to make it a little different ( might remind you too much of your teenage son otherwise. We all know it is a time to forget!!).

Well, good luck! With the jacket I mean…

White + beige + blue

Nice, in’t it? Looks fresh and chic.

I am always on the look out for new colour combinations. I really like this shade of blue, not too dark, nor too light…

Here are the colours:

Hobbs’ “British” style

Posted on May 26, 2015 by stylepointofview

I was actually looking for maxi dresses, when I came across some extremely classic, “British old style” dresses at Hobbs. I think they could look great. It is vital to style them the right way though or they will look frumpy. They are a little “kitsch” in a way… but I like them!

Have a look at the pages if you like, there are many more, although I have chosen the ones I liked only, obviously! You must look at the dress itself and don’t let your eyes wander to the hideous shoes they show it with.

I know it’s difficult, but imagine that dress with a pair of really trendy heels… have you? Then you know it’s a cute dress!
