My 5 Must-Have Looks!

Fashion is fast & always evolving. Before you know it, that piece of dress or skirt which you bought a few weeks ago might be out of season/trend. And it's impossible to keep up with the latest trends without bursting your piggy bank or budget. So, how do you look good and fresh all the time without spending too much on your wardrobe? Mixing and matching is the key towards a more unique & fresh look.  I've compiled my 5 favourite looks for the season...

1. Skort

What is a skort exactly? It is a pair of shorts with a fabric panel resembling a skirt covering the front. It was designed to provide more freedom to do activities like sports, gardening, cycling etc. Due to it's popularity, skorts are now a fashion statement worldwide. It's easy to match and comes in a variety of colours. Pulling of many different looks from casual to dressy. Hence it is a piece worth investing in.

What is so special about these prints are the unique designs, colours and feeling/emotion it creates for the wearer. Well renowned designers like Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto & Clover Canyon are making headlines in the fashion world with their exquisite & one of a kind pieces.
