The Hair was a simple twisted bun by Stephen Marr and the gorgeous fresh makeup by Mac has little pops of white on the upper eyelids. Perfect for our summer ideal at taylor. Amongst my nerves, our beautiful model Yasmin from Clyne, who was just back from New York, showed three of our favourite spring looks from the new collection.

Here is a quick peak at what it is all about….

As the rain pelted down outside we all agreed that summer will be back and We look forward to showing you more in the coming months.

There is always another way to style our clothes at taylor and is not only – wear it up-side down or back to front…….It is just about matching the right pieces together too!

 A Fabulous Wearable & Essential Piece for this Winter!!

A versatile piece that can be worn as a funky take on the Jersey knit dress – try it pieced with the  Hairy knee-high boot  for day or with an elegant heel in the evening.Keep accesories simple…Our stunning Nido Rings or the new Silver Jewellery from Mexico will keep the look classic,  yet funky.

And then we turn it Upside Down…

For a smart-casual look, you can wear the Atollo as a cowl neck sweater over the Illuminate shirt to have some flow with textures and lines on your outfit.

If you feel comfortable with bare legs, just wear a Taylor tank underneath and the Hairy Boot…If the temperature drops, simply add a Merino Camber Tunic and the Venetian Pant will keep you warm and at the same time you will get a great  layering outfit.

 There are more ways than one in which you can wear your Atollo dress.Try turning it up-side down tucked neatly  into the beautiful Graduate pant and finished with the O Belt for a pop of color. The Army boot from TN29 or Ankle Boots from VIC MATIE are the right match for this look , giving you enough grunge edge. To transform a relaxed cool look into a stylish Work outfit simply add the Destination jacket over this outfit.

Now, you can think of what other interesting Taylor Piece you have in your wardrobe that can match with the Atollo dress … I promisse that you will find a new way to use your favorite winter piece this season!
