Summer Smart!
Wednesday, June 15, 2005
It's a friends 30th in a couple of weeks and the dress code is 'summer smart' Among friends there has been a great deal of confusion as to what 'summer smart' really means. Well to clear things up; no jeans and no black tie! But a little bit of the in between.
Therefore, keep your Maria Grachvogel evening dress tucked away for a charity gala and put those James jeans back in the wardrobe, even if you have dressed them up with a gorgeous Marni jacket and a pair of Manolo Blahnik heels!!
A great place to start is Tashia on Walton Street. Set up by Sara Chiaramonte. Sara stocks both her own designs 'Tashia' as well as Gharani Stock and Matthew Williamson.
Coco Ribbon on Sloane Street also has a wide selection of designs including Willow and Collette Dinnigan.
However, if you are looking for something a little less expensive, Top shop has a duck egg blue hand embroidered detail dress, very similar to one of Matthew Williamson's spring/summer collection and of course Antik Batik has a stunning choice of tops, worn with white trousers and you have hit 'summer smart' beautifully on the head.
