Paula Burns takes inspiration from Belle Bakst's New York Fashion Week outfit this week
The end of summer fashion fatigue is beginning to set in.
We have reached the point where whimsical summer dresses just don’t cut it anymore. It’s time to get back to basics with the trusty off-duty look.
This time around why not make it more interesting? Think classic mules but in bold print or accessories that give an enviable rock ‘n’ roll edge.
