Tis The Season…

As our calendars start to fill with holiday parties, it’s time to get out our favourite dancing shoes and our prettiest dresses and skirts. I know that I sometimes struggle with party outfit ideas, especially when the occasions are so frequent! This year though, I found my favourite party outfit to date. The key to the perfect party outfit is always having that one piece that’s more interesting than the rest. In this case, though, I found three pieces that are statements in their own right but are a match made in fashion heaven when combined. I think it’s important to remember, especially for a good party outfit, that when combining many statement pieces, make sure you keep your colour palette as sober as possible. I opted in for a total classic, an all-black look.

Ba&sh is one of my favourite brands (I promise this is not sponsored, I’m just obsessed) and this year I snagged the most beautiful sweater ba&sh sweater. The low back with the crystal details makes it a perfect option for any holiday celebration. Since I was going for covered knitwear on top, I wanted to have some fun and go with something sheer on the bottom. I picked up this sheer panelled skirt while I was in India but I’ve found some similar options, like this one here and this super elegant one here (Both are super affordable too!) I love how balanced the look is, not showing too much or too little!

If there is any time for more is more, the holidays are it. Don’t shy away from accessories for your holiday party outfits! I pulled out my favourite Sophia Webster heels. I love the fun geometric pattern. They are so easy to wear because of the colours! I grabbed my favourite Dior bag and I was ready to go – holiday party ready! Would you wear this look? What are you wearing to your holiday parties?

Style, Art, Champagne. Who could ask for more?

In a dark classroom, filled with wooden desks and dim laptop screens, I found myself slowly dozing off to slides of Monet. My Art History class was a compulsory module in order to take my Film Studies class at Columbia NYC that summer; but at the mere age of 16 I had a massive lack of appreciation for art; I regretfully admit that I was more interested in the gift store at the MoMa. Rest assured, much has changed over the last five years and through some sort of midnight epiphany, I found a love for art when I did a hop, skip and jump over to London. Imagine my glee when I got to attend the Lumas: Art Now launch last week. (Beyond belief in case you haven’t caught on)

I don’t think art is something you stare at blankly on a prescribed marking on the floor and attempt to reach some sort of internal enigma. Rather art is relatable, or rather it should be. At the risk of preaching a Theory of Knowledge syllabus at you (holla at my fellow IB’ers) art is a matter of perception; a personal matter. What makes it worth hanging up on your wall or gawking over at Frieze or ignoring completely, I don’t know, but all the same, it’s thought provoking. To even have this discussion, art should be accessible, which was the goal of the Lumas: Art Now launch – Limited editions print in small sizes available for your gifting/consuming pleasure.
