December’s Outfit of the Month – Desk to Drinks

Posted on: November 30th, 2015 by Emma No Comments

With the festive season kicking into gear this week, December’s OOTM for Royal Priors is a great look that takes you from desk to drinks.

Built around New Look’s simple but elegant jumpsuit (the jumpsuit is the item for your party wardrobe but more on that in our party pieces blog…coming soon).  To take it to the office layer over M&S’ black and white blouse complete with new romance details – ruffle collar and flounce sleeve.  The bronze version of  Jigsaw’s Milly Court’s  are pared back enough to grace the boardroom but their cheeky sparkle comes into their own when you hit the bar.

Accessories remain minimal, to be amped up come cocktail time.

To take you to drinks and beyond, ditch the shirt and add divine details and sparkle with pieces from Swarovski, Lola Rose, and Nikki Lissoni – all available from Fabulous.

Finish it all off with faux fur, the key ingredient this party season.  Now you are ready to be stylish and fabulous wherever the night takes you.

Working the Trend – Metallic

Posted on: June 3rd, 2015 by Emma No Comments

Clients are often wary of trends, until we let them into the secret of keeping your look up to date without being a slave to fashion which is to add a few trend led items to your existing wardrobe. In this blog SYW shows you how with metallic which remains a trend for Summer 2015. We have gone for this gorgeous fluid vest from Reiss, in a great soft metallic bronze.

We have hardly stopped wearing ours since it made it into our wardrobe. Think metallic is only for evening dressing? Think again. The colour and cut of this vest make it very versatile. Here’s how to make it work.

Work the trend into your existing wardrobe

…….Silk look joggers, sleeveless jacket, Bright handbag, wedge trainers or heels (if you prefer) – Wearing this way kills two trends with one stone, as it hits the utility trend too. Perfect for slouchy Sunday brunches, weekday errands or even the school run.

……..Ribbon pleat skirt, white jacket, tonal handbag with metallic detail and either nude Mary Janes or lizard effect heels.  Makes a lovely outfit for a wedding, afternoon tea or a day at the polo. Swap out the bag for a lady like B&W number and keep the Mary Janes and you have a summer office uniform.
