Tzniut selection from summer 2014 Chloé collection

It is not always easy to find dedicated tzniut fashion stores, but with a little bit of patience, it is possible to find some interesting suggestions. The last week, I browsed some of the models from the summer collection 2014 by Chloé.

Here are some of the highlights:

I love this Onyx Black top, which can go elegantly with any long skirt, especially black, white or any other pastel colour. It works for both day and evening occasions, is elegant, but not pretentious. 

The khaki beige top can go very elegantly with a beige cotton long sleeve top. It's rather a choice for a special occasion. You can wear it for the day or the evening, mostly in the spring and summer. 

The tuareg amber blue dress is an excellent choice for a special occasion - a bris or wedding especially - with a long beige skirt, for instance. Is a bit sophisticated, but you can wear it both in the evening or for the day, in the early spring or autumn. 

This light khaki and khaki beige suits a summer Shabbes day. I will only add a beige shawl to cover the collar bones. It's a good choice for all those young at heart and the smooth combination of colours brings elegance yet decency. 

I love blue colour a lot, and this dress is a great choice for the summer or early autumn. With a white or light blue shawl as well.

Another gorgeous blue: the tuareg blue top, which suits young girls but not only. It goes with a long dark blue or black skirt and maybe for more tznua reasons, a beige or light blue shawl. It goes especially for the day, in the winter or spring.

The petrol blue top is a little bit more sophisticated, but it's enough to blueprint the entire outfit, that can be very well full black. For sheva brachos, or wedding or a wedding anniversary looks like a smart investment.

The same can be said about this ash grey top, which I will also wear on hagim, Shabbes or when visiting relatives, regardless of the season.

This shirting white dress can be used as a blouse and matched with a beige, black, brown and white long skirt. An elegant and discrete day summer outfit.

As for the accessories, there are many choices, among them nice bracelets - if you like the little bit big type - and the discrete and colourful bags - I want all of them, seriously!

Maybe it's the right time to buy yourself something nice for Pesach!

Fashion recommendations: Miu Miu bags

I recently saw to one of my friends some interesting Miu Miu bags that made me curious to check more models and patterns. With a half day on my own, I decided to spend some time in the luxury paradise of the KaDeWe, in Berlin. Miu Miu has two areas there: at the third floor, where most bags brands are represented, where they present shoes, and at the ground level, with a whole elegant cubicle dedicated to elegant bags.

The majority of models suit a busy life, are spacious - including for your iPad and a small book and a makeup purse. For the big models, the lateral pocket helps you to better organize your space, with space for keys and your phone. There is also a zip pocket inside. Most colours are decent, and can be matched with various outfits and shoes. Useful for those used with a busy life is also the shoulder strap that makes walking easier, especially if you have one kid on your right hand and another in the stroller. 

This model and colour is my favourite: elegant, simple, spacious enough, without encouraging me to carry to many unuseful items. It also has a shoulder strap. The leather is semi-gloss, looking very good and preferable for any occasion. It can work especially if you have a late restaurant lunch after a full day in the office. 

This soft calf leather top handle bag has a well portioned space: three inside compartments, a special cell phone pocket and another zipped pocket. The colour can be a bit pretentious, but it suits very well the pastel spring outfits. 

The next two models are very much my style. There are two inside zip and phone pockets. the detachable chain and leather shoulder strap. 

 The orange version is more joyous and in tone with the hot season.

Back to the have-it-all model: this green matelassé bag can carry almost everything you need for a whole busy day. It has a snap closure and can be easily carried either only by the handle or with the detachable shoulder strap. The model is available in vivid yet decent colours. With a full black outfit or a black-and-white combination it does not require a special dress.
