Parisian designer Sonia Rykiel opened her first boutique on the Left Bank in 1968.  Hailed the `Queen of  Knits’, her designs are chic, bold and quirky.  The Spring/Summer ‘08 Collection has bold detailing, large flower prints, oversized bags and chunky wooden cuff bracelets.  All style detailing that flatters a taller frame - keep this in mind when you next go window shopping.  Take a look at the video of the show, the models smile which is nice to see. Also the gorgeous butterfly hair accessories  www.soniarykiel.com     

I love bolero’s because they work so hard for you.  Some clothes you buy stay in your wardrobe and hardly ever see the light of day despite how pretty or beautiful they might be. Other pieces become indispensable and you wonder how you ever survived without them.  Bolero’s can be worn over a sexy evening top or dress without obscuring your curves.  They add a layer for warmth when its chilly and disguise your upper arms if you want to keep them under wraps.  They emphasise your bust, show-off your waist and flatter a longer body!
