Lion in love has a great selection of cardigans and accessories. This red and white striped, long sleeve top can be worn with jeans or as a dress with a good quality pair of black tights. For a full Parisian look, pair with Lion in Loves selection of mohair cardigans. This red one works great and can be worn with a black beanie, gold bracelets and black shoes.
The chunky leather lace ups can really give an edgy look to your otherwise simple style. They’re a heavy boot, so juxtaposing with a floral dress and playful cardigan can give a modern look to your classic style.
Lion in Love’s selection of Diane Von Furstenberg inspired pieces will flatter any figure. The wrap dress is perfect for women of any size, especially women who are curvy with big busts. The wrap creates a slim waistline and the v neck reduces the size of the chest. A retro pattern is a great way to bring colour into your every day wear and perfect for after work drinks.
Try not to disregard the ‘alternative’ or ‘impractical’ looking pieces at Lion in Love. You really do need to try everything on and this Pilgrim style white shirt is a clear example of something that may come across as confronting but looks amazing once on. Great for petite figures and big breasted women, the layered cotton gives a textured look, hiding what’s underneath.
Floral minis are all the rage, this one in particular is gorgeous because the print has not been mass produced and you won’t find it in every chain store. Wear tucked into singlets, shirts and select a colour from the print and accessorise your look with vibrant jewelry.
Knitted, retro style dresses are coming back, however you don’t want to look like a junkie at Woodstock. Go for an elegant look: wear with a cream camisole underneath, pair with black tights and vibrant accessories.
This camel coloured blazer is perfect for everyday, the detailed gold buttons add an extra touch of style and class. It may clash with patterns, so keep it simple with one toned dresses, jeans and play with accessories.
These leopard print ankle boots are so darling and give an edgy look to your outfit. Match accessories to your choice, play with black and tan berets and gold and black jewellery.
Sometimes you need to channel your inner stylist and play around with unusual pieces. This peach, patterned silk coat is light weight and can easily be worn as a dress with the right accessories. Pair with a thick black leather belt with gold embellishments, black tights and black heels.
Love!
