1. Céline Sunglasses // 2. Kate Spade Trench Coat // 3. Maje Pussy-Bow Shirt // 4. MadeByGirl  // 5. Stylebystories Earrings // 6. Saint Laurent Bag // 7. Guerlain 'Kiss Kiss' Lipstick // 8. Blank Denim Pants // 9. Wonderelle Peonies Bouquet // 10. Christian Louboutin Décolleté Shoes Take two: 11. Asos Beret // 12. Oasis Scarf // 13. Comme des Garçons Striped Sweater // 14.

FASHION: Summer Nautical Style

Hi everyone! I’m Sandra from Blasfemmes and I’m so happy to be one of the newest Fashion contributors here on MBG! To start off I’m sharing with you one of my all-time favorite trends for chic Summer looks: nautical stripes. I think it’s safe to invest in striped garments and accessories because they’ll always be a classic and they’re also extremely versatile, agree? 

I like having several options on the table so if you are not particularly fond of striped clothing you can always wear striped accessories like striped sandals or a striped sun hat (by the way, I need to get my hands on that one).




Any favorites? Do tell!







First look:




1. J. Crew Panama Hat // 2. Vix Striped Dress // 3. Ray-Ban Aviators // 4. Rebecca Minkoff Sunglasses Pouch // 5. Vila Denim Vest // 6. Illamasqua Lipstick in Flare// 7. Tory Burch Sandals // 8. Eric Javits Tote
