Filippa K summer dresses

If your style is very understated, then Filippa K’s dresses are for you.

I am just showing them in peach, but are available in black too.  One because there is no image for the black, two because anyway, peach is after all rather a flattering colour for any kind of skin. I am also showing you just two of several dresses on the site. All the others are either too short (I don’t like short much) or long sleeves, which I understand they are great for northern countries, but definitely too hot for them over here!!

So, there you are, today is all you are getting I am afraid…

Zara dresses

Today, I think I am going to start one of a few posts about summer dresses. It’s hot, very hot. What can one wear when is this hot? Only a dress will do. And anyway, when one is hot and bothered, one would at least like to have something comfy on… I love the feel of a long dress, air (if available) “freely circulating” inside it, no need to keep lady-like positions all the time, no need of having perfectly “cultivated” legs, no need for heels, and the list could go on and on!

I want to start with Zara. Trendy, fun, inexpensive dresses, for women with little to invest or who want more than one dress. My only doubt about them is the fabric composition. For most of them it is not shown, that makes me think about synthetic… I don’t like synthetic…(which, by the way, would keep you warm!)

Let’s start with the floral print, which I find really quite interesting this year…

next two gorgeous oriental looking dresses (I love the black one especially)

I also think these feminine ones are lovely

Of course simple ones are always very useful and easy to wear, although with the next one you do need to have rather a good-looking body…

and of course one has to have at least one black dress ( love the left one’s neckline)

last, some long sleeves, which I suppose are for colder climates only, or evening perhaps? I had to show them as they are really quite cute…

Les Néréides

My sister called me a few days ago to tell me about Les Néréides. While I don’t like everything, some is far too “little Disney girl”,  some of their jewellery I find really cute! It’s a little kitsch, but in a nice kind of way…

I haven’t spent much time looking for the European site (seems to be sold by multi brand companies), but here is the U.S. site:

and here are a few things I would be really happy to have:
