On of our favourite brands, Women Secret, is presenting us this summer with an array of sexy yet uncomplicated bikinis. The navy stripes, flowered patterns and retro graphics are the main stars, with bikini cuts mainly the simple classic triangle types.
We know that there are still 23 days until we can officially call it summer, but here at Fashion Limbo we are loving the high temperatures and all the excuses to wear gladiator sandals, block coloured mini dresses, fuchsia mini-skirts and all the bikini shopping!
Mary Portas is one of Fashion Limbo’s all-time idols. She is an icon in the UK in terms of retail branding and communication. She transformed Harvey Nichols into what it is today, one of the biggest fashion stores in London and in the world. Yes, we do love her.
BBC presenter and fashion icon Fearne Cotton gives us a lesson in how to easily put together a casual and relaxed, yet trendy and chic, Friday look.
Red is one of the hottest block colours with which to play this summer. Red lips are truly sexy if you have a pale skin and wish to give the tanned look a miss. We love how Rose McGowan adds a pair of beige T-bar wedges to give this red look a twist, and how the aviator sunglasses bring old-school Hollywood glamour. An easy to copy look, a truly stylish result.
Fellow blogger Laia Cenea writes in Spanish fashion blog Trendencias breaking the news that Scarlett Johansson will be the face for Mango in the upcoming Autumn/Winter campaign. We will miss Penélope Cruz (though it is still unclear whether her work with the brand will cease) but we cannot wait to see what Scarlett adds to the catalogue.
When it comes to embracing the 80s American Apparel is determined to make the decade of fluo alive as it was twenty years ago. After big shoulders, crazy patterned leggings and pork-pie hats, it is the turn of the scrunchie. Are they serious? Fashion Limbo solemnly swears you will not catch us wearing one, but how about the rest of you?
With more of us spending this summer at the office rather than at the beach, summer work attire can be a challenge, especially keeping it appropriate. Zara (top-left) has decided to bring colour into our lives with a skirt and top combo. Stella McCartney (above-right) for Net-a-Porter is offering an endless array of options in nude, with dresses, cardigans and suits ideal for the hotter months. Penelope Cruz’s collection at Mango (below-left) is giving the sexy suit an easy and comfortable twist.
It’s happened to all of us: a few hours at work and we begin to feel the weight of our expensive and supposedly light eye-shadow, our lids are sticky and heavy. The shared office air leaves your make-up melting and we look waxy and tired. Armani cosmetics range has a product that may just be the thing for us yearning for a lighter yet flawless look: Face Fabric
