I love stripes and they can not be missed in my wardrobe. I am in love with this ladylike black and white striped dress. The unconventional mix of stripes gives it a modern touch. The black and white stripe trend is really timeless. It allows you to go bold while keeping things classy and basic.Photos: Dimonika Bray, Beatuy: Paula Mendes, Dress: Banana Republic, Shoes: BCBG, Jewelry: Forever 21If you have concerns about wearing stripes, here are some tips on how to choose the right stripe pattern to flatter your figure.
Vertical stripes - The petite woman can elongate her figure with vertical stripes. If you are petite in height with full figure keep the stripe vertical, and choose a smaller stripe. If you are petite and on the thin side, a bolder stripe will make you look a bit bigger.
Horizontal stripes - The slim woman who would like to look a bit more curvy can choose a bold, horizontal stripe.
Diagonal stripes - Most figure types can wear diagonal stripes. This option is especially good for the plus size women.
Thank you for reading it!

Tomas Maier, the creative director, describes the inspiration for this creation: “An old house in the beautiful countryside in the Veneto region of Italy with rolling green hills, where we’re from. I envisioned a room with old wood floors, library walls and leather-bound books with the windows open wide, the breeze coming in and cut grass, hay, moss, garden flowers, growing through the room and everything mixing up. That’s where we started.” (wwd)
The nose of the composition is Michel Almairac from Robertet who blended notes of Italian bergamot, Brazilian pink pepper, Indian Sambac jasmine, oak moss, patchouli and Indian patchouli.
The face of the campaign is Nine d'Urso, the daughter of French fashion icon Inès de la Fressange and Italian art dealer Luigi d'Urso. The campaign was shot Bruce Weber in South Florida.

On Sunday, April 13, I had the pleasure of attending a formal afternoon tea at the Taj Hotel
in Boston. The event was organized by Nara Paz, a Brazilian designer who was previously interviewed for the blog. Nara invited a group of chic and powerful
women from the New England area to meet and network together. The guest of honor was
Kayla Harris, the 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist in judo.
We met
in the hotel’s elegant tearoom which overlooks Boston Public Gardens. It was a perfect
setting in which to exchange professional ideas, experience, and goals. The authentic
British tea included tasteful selections of canapes and delicious petite sweets
served on delicate Chinese porcelain. It was a wonderful afternoon and I cannot
wait for the next gathering.
