Spring/Summer 2012 hair trends- Wraps

By Andrea Petrou on February 10th, 2012

If you suffer from bad hair days then one Spring/Summer 2012 trend you’ll love is the wrap look.

That’s right, next season you can hide your bad barnet in style thanks to the likes of Marc Jacobs, Kevork Kiledjin, Anna Sui and K Nicholas making it fashionable to stick our hair under turban like wraps.

Give a nod to the ethnic look and go all out with a turban style head scarf or take a more subtle approach inspired by Marc Jabobs and Luca Luca stick your hair under a wrap with bow detailing.

We think this look is perfect for those beach locks and if you’re feeling barnet brave, a night out too.

See the gallery below for designer inspiration.

Boutikee brings ethnic and European twist to online fashion

By Andrea Petrou on August 17th, 2009

Vintasian Collection.JPGIt’s been said before but I feel as though I should reinforce it and show how grateful I am to the internet for changing the way we all shop.

We can shop in our pyjamas without being arrested and sent to a loony bin, and save on piling on the makeup just because we have to go outside.

Yes there are many sites dedicated to helping us spend our money and helping us get through the insomniac ridden nights with wide eyed dreams of what will match the dress we just purchased at 3am. Now it seems there’s another one that’s joined the online gang.

Boutikee, launched today, combines ethnic style and vintage clothing giving us style that’s more East Asia and Europe than Eastenders.

We love the Grecian style Asymmetric dress in the Vintasian summer collection, which priced at £79 is a bargain. Polka dot fans will also go dotty over the retro-chic black and white polka dot crop top (£29) and skirt (£39).

However, if you’re a try before you buy girl then you can also visit the stall at Portobello Market, west London every Saturday this summer 2009. Just don’t forget not to change out of your PJs.
