Hoss Intropia

The wonderful world of looklet has introduced me to a great label called Hoss Intropia.  That Jill Scott playing in the background just sealed the deal for me.  The cult Spanish label was created by Paloma Vázquez de Castro, ex-National Ballet of Spain designer in 1994.  All prints and details are produced, designed and handcrafted by the label.  If Hoss Intropia were its own setting, it would be a relaxed yet invigorating day at the beach.  Their clothes are so beautiful and soft.  Silk, chiffon, pleating, eyelets, and other intricate details combine to give their line an elegant feel

Maxi Skirt Trend

This season, inject a dose of ladylike glamour by rocking maxi skirts. The dramatically dropped hemlines are perfect for enjoying calm spring breezes.  Maxis let you look radiant and feminine. You can easily dress them up or down, yet still maintain the effect of making an effort.

Short girls- You ladies look best when you stick to monochromatic skirts, detailing closer to the neckline/face, and avoid patterns & colorblocking.  A 1 color dress can actually visually elongate your body making you look longer and leaner, and pairing them with wedges is a nice addition for your frame.

Big girls- A cute idea is to stick to heavier materials and A-lines.  Look for good structure, yet fabric that wields and floats gently away from your body.
