Some of Shabd Simon-Alexander‘s limited edition pieces as photographed by Sarah Ann Ward. You can see more on Simon-Alexander’s blog.

You’ve most likely been living under a rock if you haven’t seen Shabd’s galaxy print inspired tights by now. She’s expanded her intricate tie dye offerings this spring to include pretty shift dresses, scarves, leggings, blouses, and even a bikini (in collaboration with Mociun). This is a far cry from the typical cheesy primary colour tie dye we’re all so used to seeing, and thank the universe for that (punny!-ha ha-sorry couldn’t resist). You can purchase several of the pieces in her online shop

I know I’m not the only one right now longing for spring and the seasonal shedding of winter layers. Not that spring doesn’t have its cold spells and rain, but it just means you’re one step closer to the warm months. I don’t really do dresses in the winter because I get cold pretty easily, so spring also means busting out the neglected part of my wardrobe. I have the Latourell poncho in khaki and it’s one of my main spring staples. It’s immensely versatile and actually helps ward off chills. I’d unbutton a few buttons on the dress and roll the sleeves and throw on a brass coin necklace that seems to be a wardrobe necessity these days. And of course, if I get a little too chilly, I’d throw on a pair of pale grey tights-or white, because you all know how much I’m loving all white right now!
