STYLE INSPIRATION: Isabel Lucas

Oh Isabel

She is from Australia, she is a successful actress, she is a vegetarian and she has dated Adrian Grenier. However, more importantly here at Novateur, Isabel Lucas has the most incredible natural bohemian style the world has seen since we went Sienna mad circa 2004/2005. Bohemian, hippy, laid back…call it what you may…this girl can do no wrong. The success of her style (and the secret to carrying off boho) is to not care too much. Isabel wears minimal make-up, lets her hair hang loose and goes easy on the accessories. 

This summer I will be looking nowhere else for inspiration. They say she throws on her clothes and steps out the door…and do you know what…I believe them. Isabel we salute you.

Twenty8Twelve SS11

To continue my love

of all things Sienna…

But seriously, these clothes really are great.

The collection; bursts of colour, staple basics and great tailoring. Twenty8Twelve SS11 samples trends but remain true to the brand ethic; these clothes are completely accessible and very wearable. For the summer collection think tailored shorts and skirts, well cut sundresses, lux fabrics and great prints....all mixed up with their trademark denim. Just the right amount of rock-chick mixed with bohemian romance and laid back chic. These well cut pieces have great attention to detail and are worth investing in, I would happily wear summer after summer. Very unpretentious and seriously cool...

Brights

GO B R I G H T

Since watching the Jil Sander SS11 show all I can think about is juicy brights. 
Discard your winter camel uniform and try something more delicious. Look out for that tangerine burst, aqua blue, neon pink, lime green and citrus lemon…mouth watering! Think electric and make a bold statement blocking colours or clashing for that all out runway look. Keep accessories oversized and minimal; grab a chunky cocktail ring, a fruity silk scarf or a statement rainbow tassel bag, throw on some round DVF sunglasses or a pair of neon Ray-Bans and your good to go! 
For those not quite so daring team a vibrant pink with a neutral shade or turn up the voltage on your crisp white shirt by pairing with a pair of bold white leg trousers.

Here is Novateur’s edit to get you in the mood…lets get zesty...
