Its our January thaw, with milder temperatures and a feeling of lightness as Spring peeks around the corner nudging us forward. Fashion is slowly changing gears, the heavy coats and sweaters are beginning to disappear from store racks, making room for softer, more feminine silhouettes. Winter’s deep luxurious shades of purples, greens, and blues are keeping company with a fresh arrival of pastels in aqua, lilac, pink, and powdery blue. The paler side is making a comeback! The new styles are flattering to all types, slightly gathered, draped and flowing. Details are in the edgings- flounced, scalloped, ruffled, and frilled, translated into a light and airy mood for the season ahead.
Louisa Harding shows a fondness for rich vibrant shades in a stunning two tone Mulberry Silk cardigan. Her newest pattern book, Belle highlights the design elements she is well known for- delicate lace insets and scalloped borders.
A delicate scallop pattern makes this tunic ever so flattering with long flowing lines. Knit in a shimmery shade of ocean blue Jasmine, a dk weight yarn in a combination of cotton, bamboo, and silk. This is a fantasy yarn with the illusion of tiny beads throughout.
A gently gathered A-Line jacket in a simple seed stitch shows off the subtle texture of Amalfi, available in a full selection of pastels and neutral shades. Wait until you glimpse the surprise, a lace panel cleverly set into the back of the jacket.
