Three weeks ago one of my favorite Croatian designers, Robert Sever, launched a small capsule collection of clothing and accessories named “Instant Chic”. This beautiful and affordable collection was made in collaboration with main Croatian fashion internet page –  FASHION.HR, and sold in BIPA stores.

I couldn’t wait for the collection to come to the stores, and when it did it was everything I could hope for – trendy, chic, unique and elegant. My absolute favorites are beautiful printed belt and matching purse with tassel detail, trendy fringe belt and this simple but oh so perfect black and grey dress – perfect for the day at the job, but also for the evening outing!

Besides my take on this beautiful collection you can also check out some pictures and advices for the one trend that just keeps on going this season – use of fringe and tassels in our everyday clothing items. In the beginning I wasn’t the biggest fan of this trend, but later I started to love it – only if used with measure of course 😉 !

Hope you’ll like it!

Fashion trend – Fringe and Tassels:

Historically fringing has appeared mainly on cowboys and bohemians, but this is about to change!

We’ve seen fringe on just about everything this Autumn — from jackets, to bags, to shoes –  there’s plenty of ways to work the look into your wardrobe (without looking like you just climbed out of an old Western or 20s movie 😉 ).

There’s something a little bohemian and romantic about fringe and tassels in our Autumn outfits.  But if you don’t like this trend too much the fringe seems most chic on black and white ensembles, as it allows the detailing to stand out in an understated way.

Let’s do the fringe !
