Espadrille All Summer Long!



This week surprisingly sunny, I’ve started to feel rather summery. With that in mind, and with sunlight pouring in through my window, I’ve been inspired to start looking at summer footwear trends and get an idea of the kind of shoes I’d like to invest in this year.

My favourite summer shoe is the espadrille. It’s a classic ‘holiday’ footwear and slipping on a pair of these sandals always puts me in the mood for strolling along the beach with an ice-cream. You could say that they are a ‘timeless’ fashion item. 


Espadrilles high or flat, have been popular for a minute already. Especially in the women’s fashion market it seems like they have invaded summer footwear like no other style these last few years. Chanel is among the best known high fashion brands for the Espadrille, but from Celine, Saint Laurent to Chloe, others have quickly adapted their own versions of it as well. And you’d be right. In fact, they are so timeless that they’ve been around for hundreds – maybe thousands – of years.

Originally worn by peasants and soldiers, the modest rope-soled espadrille was being made in southern France and northern Spain at least as early as the 13th century. CastaƱer, a Spanish brand founded in 1927, is traditionally credited with bringing the shoe into the fashion fold. The story of how owners Isabel and Lorenzo CastaƱer crossed paths with Yves Saint Laurent at a trade fair in Paris in 1970 is fashion lore—and the encounter resulted in the tall, elegant wedge silhouette we know today.

Espadrilles are so popular because they’re comfortable, fresh and affordable’

Just one pair of espadrilles would be all you’d need for the whole summer to see you through holidays. For Spring/Summer 2016, designers and high street stores have updated the seasonal staple with stripes, lace, studs and florals. Here are few pairs that you guys will love this summer and for sure will keep you in style!

Khaki is the new black! Is it?!


Khaki is my favor colour for this season. We saw it in every runway and this year is the must have clothes colour. We are going absolutely mad about khaki, it is adding a little bit of “spice” to the usual black/grey of winter clothes on offer.
Let’s start with the history! Why do we call this colour khaki? Khaki is a color, a light shade of yellow-brown. Khaki is a loanword incorporated from Hindustani meaning "soil-colored" and is originally derived from the Persian literally meaning "soil", which came to English from British India via the British Indian Army.



Khaki has been used by many armies around the world for uniforms, including camouflage. It has been used as a color name in English since 1848 when it was first introduced as a military uniform, and was called both drab and khaki, khaki being a translation of the English drab light-brown color. A khaki uniform is often referred to as khakis.

Khaki is a staple color in plenty of closets because of its versatility. Generally seen in casual sportswear, shades of khaki can range from light tan to olive and everywhere in between. Whatever shade of khaki you're wearing, you don't have to play it safe with the colors that you pair it with.

Create a simple, understated look by wearing khaki with other neutral shades. Pair a white T-shirt or tank top with khaki shorts or pants for a simple casual look. For a more modern look, pair olive-toned khaki cargo pants with a charcoal gray boat-neck sweater and wooden o-ring sandals. Khaki can also work with black though striking the balance is tricky.

If you do opt for this concept, use one color to accent the other or incorporate a third color that coordinates with both. For example, use a black belt to cinch a khaki shirt dress or wear a black blazer over the khaki and gray combo above. If you prefer a softer look, pair khaki with a black-brown shade like espresso instead.

I picked up few ASOS outfits, and they’re so versatile!
