Catching the last rays! Boutique by Jaeger Layla daisy silk print playsuit

Posted on September 22, 2014September 23, 2014 by absolutelyaggie

I can’t believe how fabulous weather we have been having here in London in September. As I have not put my summer wardrobe away just yet, here is my most likely, last glimpse into a proper summer outfit you would wear on a sunny day out with friends or to an evening party.

If you are planning to do a floral print, make sure it is ditsy and make sure it is daisy – this gorgeous and girly Boutique by Jaeger Layla daisy silk print playsuit ticks all the boxes, clean and contemporary lines combined with the playful print will get you stand out from the crowd.

Boutique by JAEGER is the edgy and cool sister of the British heritage brand Jaeger. I love JAEGER’s timeless cuts and smart tailoring for the office but if you are after an offbeat yet classic look with an eclectic edge Boutique by JAEGER is the brand to go to.

I styled the playsuit with this cute waist-accentuating L.K. Bennett Selina taupe belt and pin-perfecting Zara combined suede ankle sandals with golden metallic stiletto heel. I must say, the gold heel tone plates bring about a certain je ne sais quoi!

They are both eternally cool and stylish. This season, I am very much in love with the ankle strap heels, from my favourite Alexander Wang to Stuart Weitzman to Guiseppe Zanotti and to ZARA, there is something liberating and ultra chic about them. Create a tousled hair look and off you go!

I accessorised my ensemble with the MALLARINO Mercedes gold-plated filigree earrings. These intricate drop earrings by the Paris based label are hand made using the ancient technique of filigree where each piece is hand sawn from gold plated metal into a multitude of embellished shapes!

Only these funky Fendi Havana tortoiseshell oversized shades to put on and I am ready to catch the rays!

Vionnet draped leather and jersey-crepe dress

Posted on September 7, 2014 by absolutelyaggie

As we are well into New York Fashion Week and fast approaching our own in London, I went couture with this most stunning Vionnet draped leather and jersey-crepe dress in storm blue, still available on THE OUTNET.

Vionnet is a Paris based haute couture label set up in 1912 known for its gorgeous fluid draping, colour block dresses and oversized bows.

Answering to the effortless Parisian elegance, the dress features beautiful draped hook-fastening lamb leather panel gathered in the front and a concealed zip on a side. I love the weight of the the crepe stretchy fabric and the way it flows when on.

I picked my fauvorite Alexander Wang Lovisa embossed black leather pumps to complement the look, still available at matchesfashion.

They are the most stylish and comfortable heels I own, that’s probably why I am a proud owner of these beauties in three different colours including blood orange and peroxide white! These Lovisa pumps are made from embossed back stingray leather and feature a sleek ankle strap, both practical and chic, it will seamlessly take you from season to season.

I simply adore the stiletto high pointed toe with t-strap and a side buckle fastening that transforms this classic style into something utterly modern. You can walk miles in them without blisters!

Talking accessories, I went with the Rupert Sanderson Niella patent cow leather clutch in black and navy.
This matches the dress perfectly and creates a fantastic colour harmony. The bag features a lovely navy leather trim, snap fastening front flap and weighted bar detail. Inside, the internal zipped and patch pockets make the most of the available space. I love the mushroom suede lining as well!
To finish my demure look, I put on these super cool Balenciaga round frame gunmetal tone sunglasses with dark grey lenses.
I love the grey matte finish and slightly curved dropped designer-stamped arms that give off the maverick look.

Muubaa Troy burgundy lamb leather dress

Posted on August 9, 2014August 23, 2014 by absolutelyaggie

I don’t seem to get enough of the leather outfits this year so here it is yet another leather beauty. This semi-fitted Muubaa Troy burgundy lamb leather dress is both contemporary and timeless. Still available on The Outnet.

With the demure high neckline and slim fit structure cinched in waist, it creates a bold silhouette. I love the two-way heavy exposed zip fastening through back and fabulous rich burgundy colour.The label uses innovative fabric treatments to create pieces that emulate modern edge. I teamed up the dress with my favourite Alexander Wang’s featured in my previous post and RayBan sunglasses that epitomise style, nonchalance and sophistication.
