90's Vintage Versace Revival

Thanks to Lady Gaga, the jewel patterned clothing of Versace is having another heyday. Gaga has been seen out in many beautiful ensembles recently along with her turquoise hair style du jour.
The mainly primary coloured pattern has been copied for scarves mainly which Urban Outfitters and American Apparel both stock. I bought one from UO which is ten euro cheaper and the scarf is much bigger - i'm a cheapskate at heart.
Despite the terrible Irish summer weather, it's much too warm to wear it as a scarf so I fashion it as a big bow/bandanna on top of my head.
These designs are so pretty, but quite hard to wear so kudos to Gaga, as once again her brave style choices leave her ahead of the pack, daring head to toe of these silk creations.


Must Invest in a Maxi Skirt

A staple this summer, the maxi skirt. Good for hiding legs that aren't ready to see the sun, or in Ireland's case, ever-constant grey clouds. Simple yet effective.
I prefer nude chiffon ones, like this tan coloured one from American Apparel which I'm currently saving for. It would look great with a sleeveless leotard or  a worn out black vest top and some nude wedge heels, which are all the rage at the moment, and minimal accessories.
And not just a summer must-have. Maxi skirts will definitely prove well into the winter, teamed with a leather jacket and maybe some thermals!
