Mix it Up

Many fashionistas will remember their first toddling attempts at dressing, usually with disastrous results. Plaids were mixed with polka dots, hot pinks with kelly greens, and galoshes with your favorite tutu.

Believe it or not these eclectic constructions from your childhood are making a comeback. The contrasts aren't nearly so drastic, of course. Think less 'I fell into my closet' and more "It took an hour to look this random."

The trick is to find two contrasting prints within the same colour family (even having just one colour in common will work) . Usually it's better when one print in larger than the other, with the smaller print on the anatomy that you might want to minimize.

And don't forget that brights are in for the season, so don't afraid to go bold!

Retro Roundup

It's evident there's a lot of fun involved in naming each of Bailey 44's collections, but we think this winter's collection is particularly diverting.

Named for well-loved eighties music hits like 'Tainted Love' and 'Whip it Good,' Bailey 44's latest line up takes the theme a step further by incorporating edgy elements reminiscent of that particular decade. Cut-out sleeves, pyramid studs, and a slenderizing sort of bondage banding are only a few of the details that make this collection really stand out.
