At black tie events don’t be tricked into thinking you must dress top-to-toe noir. Black tie simply means formal and smart, you can be as colourful as you wish. In fact, the brighter the better. Formal events, from balls to weddings, should be the perfect excuse to indulge in all things that glitter.
Glittering embellishment works all year round, sparkling in the sunlight of the summer and shining amongst the fairy lights of Christmas trees through winter. Whether you choose a dress dripping in jewels or a simple outfit accessorised with the prettiest jewels, for any black tie event, it’s your time to shine. Read More…..

Despite this monsoon weather we must keep our spirits up and ignite the British summer by injecting a floral punch into our wardrobes. Floral is so big every summer and you can use it to create a statement or enhance a tired outfit. The subtle tones of the floral print suit any skin tone or figure and allow you to create an impact which will hopefully bring back the British summer! I’m going to look at different types of floral garments available on the IndependentBoutique.com and show you that these floral delights will add a punch of colour to all aspects of your wardrobe.
My favourite item of the bunch is this delightful kimono created by Caro London. It is so pleasing on the eye and mixes floral prints with a bold pink taffeta trim to create the perfect romantic French-esque kimono. Never mind wearing it before bed, I plan on wearing it all day long practicing my French and best Bridget Bardot pout! Made from 100% cotton it will keep you comfortable and the garment is finished off perfectly with patch pockets and belt. Read More…..

Most descriptions of Saskia B. Jewellery begin with some arrangement of the three words ‘classic’, ‘edgy’ and ‘elegant’. Paraphrased from an interview its designer Natasha Horn Banham conducted with West London Living, her actual summary of the brand is much more eloquent. ‘Classic, sometimes edgy, always elegant…’ she begins before adding; ‘Saskia B. pieces are quality, versatile, one-offs with lots of personality and playfulness. Sorry, three words just doesn’t do Saskia B. justice!’ Read More…..
