5 ways for girls to rock a tie this spring

For what seemed like the longest time, ties have been strictly associated with the menswear department, defining dandy looks and helping shape a gentleman’s ever so polished appearance. But as society has undergone evolution, the masculine-feminine boundaries have slowly blurred. Steering away from the corporate and leaving the over-the-top preppy days behind, the tie became a versatile statement accessory. Explored in subtle ways, veiled in…

Renabla: how dirty is your mind?

When Lisa Schuil (a stylist whose work we’ve featured many times) puts pen to paper, the outcome is rather quirky and very different. Branching out into design, she’s created a t-shirt range under the brand name Renabla: the designs are simple sketches, but they certainly beg your eye to look twice.

Get your punk on: the tough accessories to snap up right now

Picture an evening gown with plunging neckline and floor-sweeping hem. Now add some tough accessories: an upper-ear cuff, a spiked tiara, a studded clutch, a sharp talon ring… any of these things can change the mood of the look instantly and completely.
