Ballet goes fashion – the dancer trend is officially in full swing. Many designers have drawn inspiration from the aesthetics of graceful ballerinas. Since sporting a tulle skirt and a jumpsuit around the city might not feel like the most natural thing in the world, it is still absolutely up-to-date. And at least you can bring designer fashion to your next ballet class.
My look: Jersey jumpsuit by Valentino, Saffiano double handle mini satchel
by Prada, lace-up leather ballet flats by Miu Miu, tiara
and tulle mini skirt, both by Saint Laurent, cuff by Chanel and Limelight Gala watch by Piaget.

The knee- or thigh-high boot is the front-runner for fall. Look for it in ’80s-style slouchy leather with a sharp toe and an inverted heel. Pair it with a printed dress, a skirt, or over jeans.

Still looking for some glamorous daytime beachwear? Emilio Pucci’s instantly recognisable kaleidoscopic designs have always been favoured by those in the know, and that’s unlikely to change anytime soon, making any Pucci printed piece an intelligent buy – whether it’s one of the brand’s iconic bikinis or a chic cover-up. For me, it truly is the ultimate luxe swimwear brand.
My look: Fiore Maya asymmetric printed silk-chiffon dress, Fiore Maya printed triangle bikini and Fiore Maya printed cotton-gauze pareo
, all by Emilio Pucci, Candy metallic elaphe platform sandals by Saint Laurent, embroidered brocade drawstring backpack by Gucci, woven straw visor by Stella McCartney, Audrey wayfarer sunglasses by Céline and pearl necklace by Chanel.

A huge thank you to my daughter for taking the pictures!
Hot off the runway, these glitter must-haves are the absolute cult boots this season!
Saint Laurent‘s latest Creative Director, Anthony Vaccarello, created those slouchy, knee-high boots covered in sparkle, that catch the light in all the right ways and grounded most of the looks on the fashion house’s F/W 2017 runway.
Like a disco ball for your feet, the ultimate show-stopper, they have been handcrafted in Italy and encrusted with 3000 Swarovski crystals that cover even the signature cone heel. Needless to say, they’ve taken over social media since they first appeared and dominated many Instagram feeds.

Hurry up, despite their expensive price tag, they are selling out like crazy…
