An editor’s style picks.
Associate Editor Charmaine Chan imagines being part of a modern-day Bloomsbury Group
Grab summer by the reins and give your look a whirl with lashes give of prints and splashes of colour. Think: Camden town with a bohemian set, filled with like-minded intellectuals, artists and chic creatives. Channel that free-spirited vibe with loose separates like a bright flowy blouse (10) or draped asymmetric skirt (6), or even a floaty dress (4). Don’t be afraid of mixing and matching florals, paisley and checks to add visual richness and up the quirk factor of your outfit. Just make sure you have a cohesive colour scheme to pull the whole look together. Stick with earthy shades which flatter most skin tones. A pair of gleaming red boots (3) anchors any ensemble while a monogram purse (8) and a bright wrap (2) add character and flair. For nights on the town, you’ll need both drama and sparkle. Focus on the eyes with layers of eyeshadow (9) and mascara (5), then slip on a gold necklace (1) and a standout pair of earrings (11). Now that you’re o dressed the part, it will be a cinch to host any party or exhibition with flair and insouciance.
