When the new collections start appearing online and in the stores, sad as it may be, I must admit to getting a bit of a thrill. It’s the promise that they hold – of the spring, of new beginnings and of how (we imagine) those amazing one or two new pieces might revolutionise our lives! With that in mind, and having been asked by the lovely peeps at Baukjen, I thought that I would give you a first look at their spring collection, which will arrive in February. (Please just ignore the links to pieces that aren’t from Baukjen. Those sneaky little gremlins refuse to switch themselves off!)
Many of you will be familiar with Baukjen and the effortless pared back look that it offers. Baukjen designs with the modern woman in mind, with its aim being to take women from day to night and from work to play, with chic pieces for all occasions. (Sounds like I could do with a bit of them in my life!)
This season, the collection focuses upon a relaxed pared back feel – mixing a clean silhouette with textured
fabrics and beautiful layers of colour. It’s minimal, only slightly more refined. The soft colour palette of dusted blues and
touches of metallic, with splashes of colour and abstract prints, reflect the mood of the collection.
So, here are five style essentials to whet your appetite in preparation for the full collection – a white shirt, a leather jacket, a grey marl top, a grey marl dress and of course the ubiquitous boyfriend jeans (£95). What a great place to start. More will be revealed in due course!
The Coco shirt £99
Ravenna Leather Jacket in Sand £389
Napoli Top £49
Napoli Tunic Dress £69
Is this an advert for this company as it reads like one. Were you paid or given something or coerced to do this??
Dear Anonymous – Nope, nope, nope and nope! If you didn't know already, bloggers have to disclose if they get paid for writing about a brand. I'm not quite sure what the disclosure rules on coercion are though.
I expect that bloggers are entitled to write about whatever they choose Anonymous?
Hello! I think that you're right on that one – unless someone has changed the rules on that too and not told me!
Oh, I think the Napoli top is really, really nice. Its looks classy and alluring. That style looks great as a tunic dress as well – Its one of the few tunic/shift style dresses where I haven't immediately thought "that would look much better with a belt" – Respect to Baukjen.
Hi Paul, thanks for dropping by. Re the tunic dress you're so right – a little waist shaping goes a long way! Hope that all is good with you.
