White can be tricky to pull off head to toe so why not team it with this season’s nude. Keep the silhouette simple, adding touches of nude. I love Donna Karan’s draped dresses with a white tailored jacket or Bottega Veneta’s white vest and corset details! Take a look at ‘Breeanne’ below, it has touches of nude embroidery, wear with nude leggings, on or off the shoulder!!
How to wear it:
*mix textures, a stiff cotton jacket will set off a softly draped dress
*wear white over your slimmer parts; nude will flatter the rest
*for accessories think arm cuffs, strong necklaces and perspex bangles
Finish with polished, soft curls, use hot rollers for full on glamour. Shoes are best in muted colours, but go as high as you dare!!

Designers looked to art for their Spring/Summer colour palette. Paul Smith’s pinks and vermilion (orange to you and me), Proenza Schouler’s colbalts and greens, Viktor & Rolf and Andrew Gnu rocked yellow and Diane von Furstenberg rocked them all together!
Check out our brights such as ‘Yessie’ in orange and brown check. (Yessie can also be worn as a skirt with a white vest, hey presto two looks in one, and less luggage!!!) Checks are big too this season.
How to wear Brights:
*mix it up – Don’t be afraid to pair brights with busy brocades and rich textures.
*don’t go matchy-matchy – try coral shoes with an emerald dress, a la Lanvin.
*smile!!! these eye-popping hues are mood elevators!! (we could all do with a bit of that!)
Team with peacockish jewellery with clusters of coloured stones. Check out our ‘Eelskin’ clutch in bright colours

Mimi was founded in 2001 by London based designer Mimi Berry. The original Mimi store is situated on Cheshire Street (just off Brick Lane) and is home to Berry’s studio where the entire Mimi collection is designed and housed.
A graduate of Central Saint Martins, and regular exhibitor at London Fashion Week, Berry has acquired an international reputation for her commitment to classic craftsmanship and stylish understated design. The Mimi store with its wooden floors, gilded mirrors, traditional English haberdashery cabinets and industrial light fittings, is an eclectic feast for the eye and a treat for any handbag collector.
Each season Mimi launches a new collection for both men and women, which includes everything from sleek weekend bags, sturdy satchels and gorgeous clutch bags, to a diverse selection of ladies leather purses. The range uses beautiful colors throughout, including scarlet reds, yellows, rich browns and bright metallics. All Mimi pieces are made from exquisite Italian leather and are manufactured in the United Kingdom to ensure the highest production quality and ethical standards.
Mimi sells in select boutiques in London, the UK and Europe, as well as internationally in the US, Japan and Australia.
In 2007 Berry was commissioned by Tate Britain to design a unique collection of leather bags, purses and cardholders to be sold exclusively at Tate shops. The Mimi For Tate collaboration was so successful that the range remains ongoing with new styles launched seasonally.

This season, waves have bounced back onto the beauty scene with a twist. The perfect hairstyle for summer and a firm favourite on the sunny, celebrity packed west coast of America. The A-list are currently showcasing three great ways to wear the trend.
For a true beach wave, look to surfer girl Cameron Diaz and queen of laid back boho style Sienna Miller, who wear their hair loosely waved.
Use big barrel tongs to get the look or plait your hair on holiday, let it dry and then comb out with your fingers.
If you want to rock this look in the city, emulate New Yorker Chloe Sevigny who adds edge to the look by mixing waves with straight sections and texture. Use a texturiser to get this disheveled look.
If you’re more groomed than grunge, take your cue from so-chic Kate Bosworth. She gets the look right for night with perfectly prepped and polished waves pulled back into a loose ponytail. Use a shine spray to add extra polish.
What do you think? Straight or Wavy? Let us know we would love to hear from you x

It’s a myth that all models have flawless skin; they just work extra hard at keeping it in picture-perfect condition – for now and in the future.
Here’s how. . .
1 They shun the sun:
On beach beauty shoots, the models
wear broad-spectrum SPF30 sunscreen
and duck under an umbrella between
shots.
2 They never sleep in make-up:
With weeks of back-to-back shows,
even supermodels get spots. That’s
why they carry hypoallergenic
make-up remover in their handbags.
3 They’re mad for facial massage:
Make-up artists at fashion shows
routinely use a face rub to wake
up the skin and drain toxins, but
top models are demanding the
process more and more!.
4 They indulge in antioxidants:
Backstage, it’s the fruit and carrot
sticks that disappear first because
models know vitamins C and E are
great skin food.

The maxi dress is a perennial summer staple. But it need not be all about a boho vibe if you don’t want it to be. As these stars prove, the maxi dress can work for you no matter what your signature style.
From Nicole’s pretty hippy style, Lauren Conrad rocks a completely different, more polished look.
If your style is sexy and groomed, follow her lead and look for seventies inspired retro shapes like this that exude sexy style.
Take a look at our maxi dresses, online now at www.citrine-online.co.uk
