Je Suis Une Style Writer

I become a contributing editor at a prestigious online boutique, The Hamptons. I love their elegant occasion wear and a stylish site.

Please check out my short story about one of my favourite dresses from the Hamptons` portfolio:

The Hottest Hue for 2013 at Hoss Intropia

designs from Hoss Intropia  collection....note the emerald colour!

On 5th December I went to a fashion show at Hoss Intropia, one of many gatherings; cocktails; and happenings I`ve attended recently, where I discovered  and fell in love with a truly exciting colour - emerald. Hoss Intropia, a Spanish fashion emporium, offers fusion of originality and eclecticism. At the fashion show we witnessed plethora of textured fabrics, made into embellished tops and velvet dresses, as well as boldly coloured chiffon blouses and animal-print occasion wear. All expertly styled with daring platform heels, and hapilly washed out with champagne, by those who were watching.
I adore emerald! Hoss Intropia is not the only designer who made this hue their favourite for 2013. Gucci, Michael Kors, and Sportmax were amongst those who included this intricate colour in their S/S13 collections.  
For my emerald fix, I will pair it with bare legs; navy; blush; silver; or burnt orange, but will avoid black – too 80`s and too boring!
