Since the Summer 2017 is well underway, here we are swinging on our next holiday mood swings making favourite beach accessories wish lists. Any good news today? This summer woven bags are claiming our top fashion shelves! Not only they appear to be the greatest bags for the beach, you will also be surprised to find they look chic and stylish in our everyday looks or picnics!

Inspired by this trend, The Simone Magazine has been mesmerised to discover the unique and authentic Portuguese label Al-Kuffa who pleases us with their handmade baskets made out from 100% dwarf palm leaves. The beautiful technique has been present in the owner’s family for more than 100 years, thus that is why their products are so special, made with love and heart.

  Al-Kuffa’s designs are fresh and happy. Extraordinary round shape is what makes it all so attractive. Put on a dress, jump in your favourite sandals, grab your round basket bag and head off to the beach. We’re sure your bag will be one of the most good-looking! Large enough to carry a book a beach towel, Al-Kuffa bag will become your stylish friend by the sea or out in the city! We must add they create beautiful woven clutches too! Perfect for carrying by its own or simply holding your phone and other necessities in place inside the round basket.

To get some inspirations, here is The Simone campaign with Al-Kuffa straight from the Greek island of blues Santorini. One standout beach bag will elevate your style for this summer 2017.

While spring is kicking us out of our heels fast and summer season is already knocking on our door steps, it is that wonderful time of the year again to think of a comfortable and stylish holiday footwear! As always, The Simone Magazine are editing a wonderfully authentic and trendy Greek sandals label – I Love Sandals. We know you love Greece, thus we know you will love these pimped-up slides with pointed toe!

On holiday and in summer, don’t forget to find time to rest your feet. With heat going up we all know comfortable footwear can make any lady much happier. The Simone encourages to leave the heels behind and empower yourselves in pretty flat shoes. The featured pair is the coolest way to stay on a higher fashion step – trust us – anything that is adorned in the way I Love Sandals prepped their shoes, is worth of attention.

On a more exciting note, I love Sandals has travelled all the way to the most spectacular island in the world Santorini and is rocking the blues in the most high-fashion footwear. To help ourselves out, we are styling it with some pastel blue or pink shirts, white crisp jumpsuits and flowy dresses.

The Simone top styling tip: These kind of shoes must be shown off, not hidden. Choose midi skirts, or ankle culottes to emphasise your fashion feet!

To take your breath away – the below is The Simone Magazine campaign with I Love Sandals directly from Santorini!

Prettified shirts can help out and lift the most boring bottom part outfit to a strikingly loud and most fashion forward look. NOW, the more butterfly looking top it is – the better.

If you were to be asked about signature Chanel vibes, wouldn’t it be tailored to the perfection and adorned with crisp pearls mini skirt and a jacket suit? This is undoubtedly a goal of all our wardrobes. However, with the budgets not rising high enough, we are supporting  and spotting “Chanel vibes” throughout the beautiful online fashion shop Chicwish.

We have picked out a classic and elegant Chanel inspired mini wrap around tweed skirt. The modern twist is hanging around in here allowing us to free style and match it with studded handbag and mesh shirt. Wear it on a sunny spring day and you won’t regret it. The pencil shape is carefully complimenting your figure by lengthening your legs and lays perfectly just slightly above your hips.

Since the festival season is official open, we are wondering you might be looking for a perfect flowy dress. Floral, bold or bright colours – Dancing Leopard has it all!

 

Could there be a better way to look stylish in spring than pulling on some trendy sandals? We are not thinking regular sandals anymore. Today we are talking about something more special . What about strappy, crossed and studded shoes? Twinkling bright in the sunshine is our new ultimate goal and our feet would definitely love it! We are drawing attention to a wonderful shoes label Lola Cruz – innovative and fashion forward!

It is 10am on the 8th of April and the brightest spring Saturday is singing to us from outside the window.
