I have long-admired London-based designer Anna Scholz‘s designs, however her price points are high for my budget. She has a “black label” though that is at a lower price point than her classic “white label” line. The latest black label collection came out today and it’s gorgeous (which I had no doubt it would be). Here are my 2 favorite items.
Left: Tile Print Jersey Cowl Neck Dress, £159.00
Right: Georgette Tailoring Maxi Dress, £229.00
I love this chocolate and turquoise ombre dress from IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel. It’s called the Vika dress, and is $128. The belt shown with it is not included, and is $65.
I am not complaining about winter, seeing as we’ve had barely any snow or cold temperatures here in Kentucky yet. Today it was 60 degrees and really nice out. There was a rain shower as I was leaving work and it smelled like a spring rain. Made me want vibrant spring clothes!
Dress, Lands End, 1x-3x, $50 (other really fun colors available)
Belt, dark blue double wrap faux patent skinny belt, Old Navy, $15
Wallet, color blocked zipper wallet, Old Navy, $14.94
Denim jacket, Old Navy, $39.94
Bracelet, enamel stretch bracelet, Old Navy, $9.50
Shoes, Lucky Brand, Emmie multi from Piperlime, $59
Not sure why, but I’ve never been extremely into IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel. I actually think it might have to do with 1 dress I ordered and it was way too small. I got upset and instead of blaming my expanding waistline at the time, I blamed the dress, and therefore IGIGI. I still get their emails regularly, and eagerly open to see what they’ll have next.
Today, there were several things that caught my eye.
1. Isolde Belted Dress in Parisian Green, $135 (belt included). I haven’t seen that tone of green much, and really love it with the belt.
2 Odette Dress in Black, $130 (belt included). I like that it’s a wrap style but has a higher neckline. And as always, love the belt.
3. Ali Dress in Multi, $170. A colorful print that I could wear over tights or leggings.
4. Lynnette Sweater Dress in Navy/Grey, $128. I’m all for a sweater dress, and love that it’s solid on top and print on bottom.
5. Edith Wool Wrap in Black, $95 (belt included). How chic is this? Love it exactly as they styled it.
6. Sabine Clutch, $55. I love this kind of neutral clutch with a basic closure that is still interesting.
I have always appreciated IGIGI because they sell sizes 12-32, whereas most plus designers don’t go above a 24. I also love right now with all of these looks that the belts are included. I don’t believe they always used to do that, and the price of the dress plus belt would scare me off. If I buy something, I want to be able to style it as advertised on the site without buying all the extras, you know? Maybe it’s just me
