Kimonos in all lengths long, short and everything in between are one of the most coveted trends of the season. Just like florals and stripes they are becoming staples in most 'it gal' wardrobes.
The Buzz
Why are kimonos all the buzz? The flowy and relaxed breezy feel of the Japanese robe is what makes them tug at our hearts. You have to admit, comfort is at the top of every gal’s list and kimonos offer that and much more while looking trendy and abso<<freaking>>lutely fabulous!
Someone asked me a very interesting question. Are kimonos a lounge wear or dress up pieces? I said both. Throw one over a bathing suit and a couple hours later throw it atop a pair of jeans with a clutch for evening. The options for styling Kimonos are endless. You can go any which way with them and non will be considered a fashion faux pas.
Todays Look
Today I’m all wrapped up in a Dolce and Gabbana Spring /Summer 2016 runway floral mini Kimono dress with dramatic sleeves and waist cinching belt that I totally adore. This kimono struck gold after Rihanna was spotted wearing it here. I paired it with strappy sandals and a white backpack.
Star of the Look
The star of this look is the stunning Diamond Dimples, made from freshwater pearls and crystal glass. This gorgeous piece is from the Takai by Angela new collection. Such a stand out piece, I’ve styled it several times in a month and it you follow me on Instagram here, you should have seen the pairing with an Ankara dress/jacket coming soon on the blog.
You are all familiar with this jeweler. If you’re a new reader then you should have a look at some of their pieces that I’ve styled recently here and here. They have a huge selection and every piece is mind blowing beautiful. The images don’t do them justice I promise.
Takai by Angela is a one stop shop that caters to all fashion needs from jaw dropping ankara styles custom made for you to fabulous fascinator hats, hair extensions and even shoes and bags. I love their colorful and very original fashion shows that allow shoppers to enjoy deep discounts and stock up on their amazing pieces. You can see some of the images on their Instagram here, or their FB page here. Have I whet your appetite for a Takai piece? Don’t wait for a special occasion, no time like the present to treat yourself by adding a few of their pieces to your rotation, just because...
