THE ELEGANT EDIT

14.01.2017

Happy Saturday ladies,

The elegant edit features our essential shoe guide for effortless elegance.  

1.
Blush patent pumps

Every elegant lady who works by day and lunches needs a kitten heel.  A blush patent leather finish such as the Ginavito Rossi 85 pump available at Net-A-Porter is a brilliant option.



2.
Black Patent leather Stiletto Pump

A sleek, luxurious, and professional black patent leather stiletto pump is perfectly elegant for every occasion, from the boardroom to the bedroom.  The Abel patent-leather pump by Jimmy Choo available at Net-A-Porter is an excellent option.


3.
Nude Occasion Shoe

Stuart Weitzman offers an elegant occasion shoe in nude patent-leather to match any elegant evening dress.  Our favourite is the gorgeous NudistSong patent-leather sandal is available in nude at Net-A-Porter.

4.
The Essential Nude Pump

Nude never looked so elegant when a lady owns a pair of Christian Louboutin paten-leather pumps.  Nude is appropriate for all occasions with this gorgeous pair of Pigalle 85 patent-leather Louboutin heels available at Net-A-Porter. 

5.
Black Leather Suede flats

Flats are no longer for casual attire, as every elegant lady has a pair of black leather flats at her ready.  This season we love this classic wardrobe staple in a suede leather.  We adore the Romy suede point-toe by Jimmy Choo available at Net-A-Porter.

Happy New Year 
Ladies and Gents.

The elegant edit features our essential handbags for this year. 

1.
Blush Patent 

Every elegant lady who lunches needs a luxurious and small blush patent bag.  
This blush Mansur Gabriel sun mini patent leather tote, available at Net-A-Porter is parfait.



2.
Vintage Inspired

A vintage inspired structured bag is an essential for a modern lady.
We recommend this blush Mansur Gavriel elegant patent leather tote, available at Net-A-Porter.



3.
Classic Monogram 

Elegance is personified in a classic monogramed canvas bag by labels such as Louis Vuitton.  
However, A Gucci is the obvious choice in this category with the label's recent revival.
We fell in love with the padlock leather-trimmed Gucci coated canvas tote, available at Net-A-Porter.


4.
Classic Quilted Leather

The centrepiece of every elegant lady's daily ensemble, is a classic quilted leather bag.  We love Chanel, but this year we recommend trying this gorgeous blush Saint Laurent college medium quilted shoulder strap bag, available at Net-A-Porter.



5.
Black Leather Structured Tote
Every elegant lady needs a structured leather tote for the office.  We love Hermes for this category, but this year we recommend opting for a classic Prada tote bag.  The Prada Galleria black large textured-leather tote, available at Net-A-Porter is simply divine.
