Dusty Petals Shop Open Again! New Looks For Sale following the WHITE BLAZER TREND


It's time for the Dusty Petals shop doors to open again!
I have sourced and styled 3 looks available for purchase incorporating the very popular tailored 'White Blazer' trend.

The white blazer seems to make a come back into the fashion world on a regular basis. I personally love it as it is so tran-seasonal. It can be worn over a light flowy dress on a mild summers night or you can brighten up your winter wardrobe by wearing the white blazer over  jeans or a dress with stockings. It looks great with all shades of scarves in winter. I also love how a white blazer helps brings out the warmest part of our skin tone even on a cold winters day. 
The white blazer I have available for purchase will compliment all body shapes as well as having the versatility to work with a combination of looks. The best part is, it only costs $55.00!
 Or if you choose to purchase one of the complete looks below a discount is applied.
Let's get onto our shopping spree, shall we???

PRICES ARE LISTED UNDER EACH 'LOOKS' PHOTOS.

LOOK1:
Miami Vice 
'Look 1' consists of a short sleeve cotton dress. There is detailed pleating around the waist band which is flattering to all body shapes. The white blazer compliments  the white stripe detail on the dress.  

I have styled  two options of accessories for this look which are both available.  For those of you daring to step out of the box I have provided the option of an orange bag. I love the contrast of orange against the blue, black and white. 
For those who prefer a more conservative look, I have provided a black bag combination.

STYLING CHLOE GAVIN












Styling for me is just as satisfying and enjoyable as designing fashion. It allows me to draw inspiration and release my creative energy in a fresh explorative way. I enjoy engaging with my individual clients whilst gaining a greater understanding of their personalities. I also like to encourage every client to be openminded to discovering new style possibilities.

This week I was fortunate enough to work with the very talented up and coming actress Chloe Gavin represented by McMahon Management. Chloe has such a passionate, expressive and honest persona. I had an absolute ball styling looks for her.  
Being an actress, Chloe's ability to take on different characters enhanced each look.
 I want to thank Chloe for taking the time out of her crazy busy schedule to work with me. 

If you are interested in me styling you for a fashion shoot email me at scarfo.giovanna@gmail.com


LOOK 1
This first look was inspired by the sultry, feminine but strong Spanish Flamenco dancer. I think Chloe carried this look beautifully. Chloe is wearing all vintage including accessories, except for the shoes. 


LOOK 2

I love Audrey Hepburn and often draw inspiration from her and have done so in styling this look. I had a lot of fun here and added Blackcurrant favoured 'Chupa Chups' around the Audrey inspired round hair bun. I continued the purple theme with the addition of a delicious berry smoothie. 
Chloe wears a vintage dress and the brooch is from my own personal collection.




LOOK 3
Look 3 was inspired by 1940's fashion. I loved how women of this decade maintained such femininity whilst wearing trousers. Chloe played the character of a confident, feminine and flirty woman of the 1940's. 
Chloe is wearing: David Lawrence high waisted pants. Shirt, brooch and belt are all vintage. Tory Burch Clutch, handmade headpiece from the amazing label '2adorn' http://www.2adorn.com/  
The suspenders I bought from a men's suit shop many years ago. 

LOOK 4
Look 4 reveals the youthful, sincere and playful side of Chloe. We had a lot of fun shooting this look as we discussed the reference to Alice in Wonderland.
Chloe wears: Vintage dress, vintage belt, Alannah Hill headband, Sportsgirl necklace and Nude shoes.







LOOK 5
I wanted to portray the strong, determined and sexy side of Chloe when styling this look. 
Chloe is wearing: Gold sequins Saba dress. Fur vest, belt, necklace, ring and clutch are all vintage.

To view some of Chloe Gavin's work, please visit her YouTube Channel: 
Chloe Gavin, McMahon Management (MCM).

I had an amazing time styling these looks on Chloe. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.
 Keep an eye out for her!
