Christian Lacroix and Orla Kiely

Not just 1 item but 2 this time! Tried to do an outfit, but only afterwards we realised that it isn't very summery, but more autumnal. But knowing the British summer, it will be a good outfit for next week! haha! (we do make ourselves laugh)

Orla Kiely is an Irish designer who's prints are now famous and adorn handbags and kitchenware all over the world. (and I think more chic less chintzy than Cath Kidston, but that's just me)

Christian Lacroix is a French fashion designer known for his Couture, which, with his background in historical costume and clothing always has a WOW factor to it. It is thanks to Lacroix that the Puff Ball 'le pouf' skirt keeps popping into trends. Thanks for that Christian!

So what a better mix of designers to make an outfit with!

The Orla Kiely dress is long sleeved with a navy and taupe pattern. Peter Pan collar and trim is in the taupe colour.
Size M (12 - 14 Eur 40 - 42) and 100% Cotton
£30

The Christian Lacroix Jacket is navy with a fine pin stripe in brown.
Embellished on the sleeves and the back with brown and cream and navy embroidery in some funky squiggles (that's the technical term. Squiggles).
Size 12 (Eur 40)
Even the lining had a funky print in it.
Smart AND Fun
£50

Be ready for Autumn!


Bye for now
