So the last of the ‘trends’ wrap up – when there aren’t really trends any more, at the same time as there are so many more than I’ve included in this recent wrap up. But sticking with the original list from whowhatwear.com for now … ‘Pleated pieces’ It has really been a long time between […]

(You can follow her blog here http://stylebykling.nowmanifest.com/) In terms of fashion, I am a bit of a scandi-phile. I personally respond to their blend of casual + ‘now fashion’ + eclectic + understatement. So […]
