Staple The Label Lurex Stripe Midi dress (c/o) / Betts Toffee B slides / MinkPink sunglasses / Floppy hat / NYX lipstick in Merlot

Embrace the midi. You may as well just give in to temptation already because this new silhouette isn't going anywhere... It's perfect for gals in the in between who don't like the sound of a mini and whose maxi-length skirts and dresses are collecting dust (like mine are, partially because I'm still not sure if my height suits them).

This Staple The Label beauty I scored at the Styling Suite a few months back caught my eye immediately, despite telling everyone a second prior that I own too many stripes and had to steer clear... "But it's a different kind of stripe... and it's a different length!" I tried to justify the second I slipped into its soft, stretchy goodness. I haven't looked back, and you shouldn't have to look further than the little collection of midi's I've put together for you below!

If you're stumped for ideas on how to maximise wear out of the style, try:

1. Pairing it with heels for outings, while opting for Birkenstocks or sneakers for a casual look

2. Adding a cropped jacket to break the fabric apart a bit on your body and making sure to try on different fits to find the perfect style that flatters your figure

And, let's go for the obvious but perfect option:

3. The crop and midi skirt pairing that's taken the world by storm in various form of matching co-ordinates, or clashing prints and textures.

Have I convinced you yet?

NICK VERREOS FIDM.....Nick Verreos Special Appearance at FIDM San Francisco 3 Days of Fashion 2016: BLOG RECAP!

San Francisco 3 Days of Fashion Fun: Nick Verreos "Special Appearance" at FIDM San Francisco 3 Days of Fashion 2016

Rounding out my "Special Guest" appearances these past two weeks for the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM's fabulous "3 Days of Fashion" Summer Program, the FIDM San Francisco campus was the last stop--and a SUPER WONDERFUL one to boot! Previously, I had the honor of making special visits at the FIDM San Diego, FIDM Los Angeles and FIDM Orange County campuses and so San Francisco was the last one to get to.

Many of you may know that I spent my teenage years in the Bay Area, after my family moved to San Bruno and subsequently, nearby Millbrae. To make a long story short, I always have a special affinity for San Francisco since, well, I kinda grew up there (or at least nearby!). So...back to my visit to FIDM San Francisco...

Uh OH!--I was flying out of LAX to SFO via Virgin America. My flight was scheduled to depart at around 10 am. We boarded but 15 minutes later, we were all deplaned. Yep, we were asked to leave the aircraft! Then, it was announced our gate was changed and then, our departure time was changed from that 10 am time to...2:30 PM. It would have been fine but, that was EXACTLY the time I was supposed to be at the FIDM San Francisco campus--with my NIKOLAKI and NV Nick Verreos dresses--ready to speak to about 100 students! So, needless to say, this was NOT AN OPTION. Luckily the airline found a space for me--and my gowns--on the 11am flight and...

I Made It!--Nick Verreos in Union Square San Francisco

So, thank goodness, I made it to FIDM San Francisco just in time and everything worked out FABULOUSLY! Here are all the photos to prove it:

TAVI GEVINSON INSPIRED / MAXI DRESS / PEACOAT / MEN'S HAIRSTYLE

What happened to Tavi Gevinson? I should better ask what happened to her characteristic style? I know that she grew up. I thought that her style was an expression. You know, shy, little girl which is crazy about fashion.Tavi was a phenomen. Now she’s a buisnesswomen and her wardrobe changed. She’s not same anymore. Her blog style rookie changed into magazine for teenagers, Rookie. So I guess someone has to continue her style. Who? Crazy Loop! I got inspired by photo of Tavi , wearing Rodarte jacket , during New York Fashion Week. She also had a maxi dress and a piece of roses on a head. I wore my maxi and a grey peacoat. I added leopard handbag. Now, about my hairstyle. I never thought that men’s hair can look sexi. I was wrong. I felt powerful and confident and I was a bit similar to Garance Dore:)

Co się stało z Tavi Gevinson? Z jej charakterystycznym stylem? Wiem,że dorosła. Myślałam,że to jak się ubiera było jej sposobem na wyrażenie siebie. Wiecie, mała, nieśmiała dziewczynka, która zwariowała na punkcie mody. Tavi była fenomenem. Teraz jest buisnesswomen, a jej garderoba uległa gwałtownej zmianie. Dziewczyna nie jest już taka sama. Blog przez nią prowadzony, style rookie, zmienił się w magazyn dla nastolatek Rookie. Jednak chyba ktoś powinien kontynuować jej styl. Kto? Crazy Loop! Zainspirowałam się zdjęciem Tavi z nowojorskiego Fashion Weeka ,podczas którego miała na sobie kurtkę Rodarte. Była ubrana również w maxi sukienkę oraz ozdobę z kwiatów na głowie. Ja natomiast włożyłam moją suknię al.’a lata 90 oraz krótki,szary płaszcz. Do tego dobrałam torebkę w panterkę. Teraz trochę o mojej fryzurze. Nigdy nie myślałam,że włosy ustylizowane na „elegancika” będą mi tak pasować. Czułam się silna i pewna siebie, a do tego nieco podobna do Garance Dore:)
