Summer and Party Strapless dresses

Strapless dresses, my top pick for the day !
It is indeed a must have… how can you live without one?? That's definitely impossible.

Strapless dress in black and flowers

Because :
*its cut is to die for, a perfect fit, a real (yeah, you can find false ones...) strapless dress that makes you even more pretty and shape your body.
*some pieces, such as this one, are exceptional : a very trendy print but that no one has in his closet and this... is magic, such a wonderful feeling.
Trendy but different!
* this very print is full of memorey. And I dare say that this is a print of the collective memory but not "has been".

Let's just say that this is every woman's dream: pretty styling, perfect fit, not looking like everyone else and having your own style… so next year and the year after, you will wear your dress again, which will always be as pretty as today and always as exceptional (just like you)!!

And you can also find in the shop other strapless bustier dresses with other prints and colors... Pure happiness, let me tell you ;-)

Summer sale on selected designer pieces

How come, it's already Summer Sale time, when summer has not even started yet?? (At least where I live!)
Well then, MALAM prepared for you a little selection of creations (clothing and accessories) at reduced prices.

On this first day of summer sale, logically, you should take a day off to really be able to face this challenging day (on a physical and financial level)...

If you are not next to a concept store where you can find your favorite designer, just hop on to the  MALAM online shop …without forgetting your shopping list below...

So here's THE little selection within the selection of pieces on sale!

It's a lovely rose red, it's asymmetrical, and handmade from vintage cotton.... This is the skirt you need!

The high waisted skirt with straps is a must have from the collection :

And for fresh summer evenings (I tell you, it's far from being a tropical weather around here... ) , a short bolero to wear on your favorite dress...

 Other summer intemporals…

 

Happy Sale at Malam  :)

Floral or plaid? ... Or both?

Something is in the air... a spring feeling !!!  (at last... )
Have you noticed it ?
And something else as well ...

You see them everywhere... you like them, or not... and if not, you might change your mind when looking at the Lost dolls collection... Little flowers... And tartan patterns...

 Because on Malam pieces, floral prints are different, because of vintage, unique and quality prints.

And this changes everything, it's fashion but not sheep-like, trendy but not Miss Everyone. And this, we LOVE.

You think about English cottages, Laura and Vivienne, punk... yes, Malam style is also so British!
Personnally I wear both floral and plaid prints at the same time. But you can have a more decisive vision on this and totally refuse to mix the styles...

Fashion find : Floral headband

Romantic and really glamourous… this headwrap is just the best :)

It can be worn as the final detail of your wedding outfit.. or as the main element of your daily look.

Because this floral headband is perfect for princesses on the run, queens in official representations, or the hair of the Bride and her bridesmaids...

The ultimate princess dream: Order yours, one of a kind, just for you!

After the parties, it will become your favorite wrap belt.

Spring outfits : a few ideas ...

Currently in full season transition, it's so difficult to choose our daily outfits... Boots and other high shoes are going back to the cupboard to sleep through the warmer months, after loyally helping our little feet.
Ambiance is now to some leg showing, heel clicking and skirt flowing... Spring is showing the tip of its nose, but it's hardly here for good...

Fashion addicts, mommies, cool people… be careful !!!
Let's do everything little by little : OK for platforms or T-bar sandals, but with socks (neon colored.. or not), thin or thick depending on your outfit (and of the temperature).

So, an idea: put on your Jude dress, so springy, without a top underneath, but with a Chameleon wrap, knee-high socks, platform sandans, and... the detail... a headband in your Raiponce hair ( or normal hair, this also works! ) This winter, you would not go out without your fingerless gauntlets, this summer, you won't leave without your headband. 

A variant would be to wear a swallowtail jersey cardigan over it, but if you're not up for that, wear your hooded cape... plaid-patterned or not... and if I am a little more into fashion, I'll choose a floral print....

I suppose it is quite useless to remind you that purchasing a MALAM cape with hood is a good investment, with a quick ROI, since you can wear it at least 6 months in the year (unless of course if you live in Brazil or other really hot countries ).. It's timeless so it cannot go out of fashion, and you can still legate it to the next generation (not exaggerating at all here.. ;))

And since we're keen on skirts at the moment... the best is just the high waisted Malam skirt, with its straps and a perfect fit (again, not exaggerating ... )

As a conclusion, let's be spring-minded, without risking pneumonia, this is called being a reasonable fashion-addict (like agriculture, really ?).

Fashion find: Versatile Wrap

The Chameleon Strap Wrap really is a MALAM must-have...

This one is made from khaki green jersey, and lined with orange jersey.... With its timeless colors, it is just perfect for the end of winter weather. It will not be ridiculous to wear in Spring (I tell you, it's timeless!) , going from one season to another, without becoming a has-been piece.

It will go just perfectly with a strapless dress or a Cinderella dress , a tip top tee, a pair of overalls ... with everything! This wrap is just pure happiness to wear ;-)!

This awesome piece, available in a wide range of colors, can be worn everyday, and should you wish so, in a lot of different ways, at least 6! That way, the Chameleon wrap will be off on Sunday, for a well deserved rest !
