You may have seen the very chic minimalist button-down white linen dress wore by a few bloggers in their Instagram accounts.  This dress as well as the rest of Mango’s 45-pieces of their Committed collection is worth a buy for two good reasons.  First the collection is the store’s first complete environmentally sustainable line.  The entire ethical collection has been made with environmentally friendly organic and recycled cotton, recycled polyester and Tencel, which have been dyed with environmentally friendly inks.  Second, all outfits are full of 2017 trends for Spring and Summer; clean lines, big structured sleeves blouses and minimalist dresses which all come in earthy tones.  From the 45 pieces, 20 are for men.  Yes, sometimes we all win.

I don’t know about you but, I can’t decide what I love more about Summer: the easiness of its clothes or the absence of heavy ones, which in either case pretty much results in the same feeling of comfort.  As time passes I find myself more interested in wearing sneakers for my daily errands.  I can not for the love of God even think about picking up my son, Lucas at school in heels or wearing them to the Super Market for that matter.  Lucky for me and all the ladies who favor fashion sneakers had never been this hot or coveted.  There is this Athleisure style which is more than a trend and it’s here to stay.  Now, Athleisure is is not to be confused with the use of sweat pants with decorated letters on the derriere.  No, no this consists of wearing active wear that are more fashionable than the usual and sneakers are a bit more fancy with exotic skins and accessories.  Whatever the fashion world decides to call it, it all comes down to the fact that comfort always beats fancy.

Fashion could be quite predictable sometimes since old fashion trend keep popping up every now and then.  I remember having embellished jeans in the 90’s while going to High School.  Now I wish I had kept them.  As everything else in Fashion some of them overdo it while others keep it subtle, like Stella McCartney’s Pied-de-poule patterned jean pants top right or like in the beautiful jean skirt below.  For evening or day, there is a good selection to choose from.  Enjoy!

This trend of Shoulder-bearing tops and dresses is something to thank the Russians for, in my opinion.  I’m not referring to the kind of off-the-shoulders top the ballerinas use, the one that is tight and fitted.  I’m referring to the kind that is airy, subtle and the puffier the prettier.  The kind of top that reminds us of a romantic and classy girl.  Vika Gazinskaya, the Russian designer makes great use of these details in her designs.  Recently she did a collaboration with & The Other Stories, where according to her Instagram acct. her best seller, was a beautiful red shoulder-bearing dress.  Enjoy!
