Fringes have been with us for a while, and I always had a little penchant for them.

Shoe love: the latest
Came across this lovely Topshop pair over the weekend and I am slightly obsessing about it.
To bra or not to bra
The bra – often an outfit’s unsung hero – has been under fire recently.
Turns out that our always supporting friend could be not that supporting after all. A French study shows some evidence that bras are actually sagging our breasts more! Shock, horror.
Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon from the University of Franche-Comté says that his studies, involving of 330 women between the ages of 18-35 over the last 17 years, show that wearing the garment could actually make the nipples drop 7mm more per year (!!!) than if not wearing it.
Apparently breasts will not develop support tissue when a bra is worn, thus sagging quicker. On top of that, some of the participants also said their posture was improved and they were breathing better.
Although he found evidence that bras don’t help keep our breasts perky, Professor Rouillon said he would not advise straight away that we all go bra-less.
I am not sure how I feel about this one; I certainly welcome removing that restriction, but I don’t know if I could adopt it 24×7.
What about you? Would you revolutionise and burn you bras to free your boobs for good?
Dani’s Little Book of Fashion: We are going on a holiday!
Ooooh, to go on holidays… Going on holidays for me is more than just relaxing; I like to soak in the culture, the people and especially the food (a lot of it). If it is sunny and there’s a pool or even better, a beach, it’s my heaven.
Friday Fixation: self-portrait dresses
Yes, I am starting another series type post on the blog. I thought “Friday Fixation” was quite apt as I, more often than not, obsess with things. I fall in and out of love with stuff on a daily basis, so I decided to share them with you.
Today’s fixation is *drumroll*….
What I’ve been wearing, June 15
Now that I am posting the Dani’s Little Book of Fashion articles, I am limiting my “what I am wearing” posts to one a month.
The posts differ a bit in the sense the book of fashion is one particular look, taking trends or occasions and breaking it down in wearable chunks.
What I’m wearing brings my daily ensembles – what I wear to work and to events. Instead of the sporadic round-up of outfits, I will be sharing a selection of my favourites of the month to provide a bit of an insight on my style and hopefully a little bit of inspiration.
Outfit #1
I love this flowery suit from Matalan. It’s a bit sports luxe and the flowers make it perfect for the season – it looks great in the office too. It is gorgeous and the price is fab – the jacket is £20 and the sports trousers £15. I teamed with a nude colour vest top from New Look, nude court shoes from Christian Louboutin, necklace from Primark and rings from Forever 21, H&M and Primark.
Dani’s Little Book of Fashion: Wedding guest, with bonprix and Pittards England
Wedding season is in full swing and with so many to attend comes the “what dress to wear” dilemma. Do I buy a new one? Do I wear an old one again? Do I run away and never look back?
Dani’s Little Book of Fashion: Colour me pretty, with Dove
I often say that I dream in colour and I believe that in life, vibrancy you can see is halfway to creating the spark within.
That’s why I am bringing this Little Book of Fashion in collaboration with Dove. The brief? Colour confidence.
Emma-Kate Francis Calla Lily Pendant from JewelStreet
I’m a huge fan of pearls; always been – when I was a little girl, I had the prettiest pearl earrings and ring.
Fast forward many years, they are still part of my wardrobe, and the latest addition, Emma-Kate Francis Calla Lily necklace, from JewelStreet, is definitely the star of the lot.
JORD Sidney wood watch
Confession: I hadn’t worn a watch in about 20 years. And JORD changed that completely when they sent me their beautiful Sidney wood watch.
