The Difference a Jacket Makes

Jackets

Today’s post is dedicated to jackets as they finish off a look perfectly and are the perfect mid-season solution. The right jacket can do wonders. Invest in good quality, the same goes for shoes and bags. But no worries, you don’t need to spend a fortune. The German fashion house BASLER offers great choices for an amazing price. Below, I styled some outfits for you including all kinds of jackets by BASLER.

A vibrant colourful jacket can take your look to style goddess allure in a second as you see here. The classic cut gives BASLER‘s pink blazer its contemporary appeal. Slip it on with boyfriend jeans and sneakers to master smart/casual cool.

Cropped jackets are among my favorites as they are so feminine. The construction of this piece by BASLER is complex, but it’s so easy to wear – team yours with a colorful dress, as pictured here, and enjoy that all eyes will be on you.

A belted jacket is the coolest way to cover up this summer. BASLER‘s safari-style version’s longer length makes it perfect for layering.

At the Gucci S/S 2012 Show

GucciFinale

Today I drove to Milan for Fashion Week S/S 2012. It is actually pretty nice to take the car as there is so much space to fit in all the lovely outfits. My first show was Gucci. As you know, I love the Italian brand.

Frida Giannini started of the show with some iconic prints and the combination of green and black. There was a lot of black and white to follow, definitely less colours than her two last seasons. Sharp tailored pants with cropped jackets. Fringes were all over. Next summer, there will be a lot of glitter and shine. Sparkling sequined flapper dresses, reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties, finished of this very wearable, beautiful collection.

Are you a Gucci girl? I surely am… stay tuned for the outfit I wore today (…and somebody else, too!).

LoL, Sandra
