A simple jersey print dress is always a great wardrobe staple, and this one by Avoca is easy to wear and very flattering, what more could you wish for? It has a long sleeve, so it is a good investment for Autumn/Winter, but won’t look out of place now either.

The print has been very popular with our customers at Havana and Your Secret Boutique. For more details on Avoca, see Avoca at Your Secret Boutique.

Pictured right is a tunic/dress, which has been very popular. Whether you wear it as a  tunic over leggings, or as a dress on its own will depend on whether you have good legs, and what the weather is doing that particular day!

The colour is great, and right on trend for this Autumn, and this and the rest of the Farhi collection is available to order online at www.yoursecretboutique.co.uk.

You’re going to love the events, as everything is going to be bigger, better and even more glamorous than last year. We have been planning the events for some time now, so here are the main details:

PS As this is Havana’s blog, I suppose I should mention where we willl be involved! Our clothes will be on show at the Champagne Afternoon Tea Party, the Fashion Parade and at the Fashion Lunch. We will also have our very own Bridal Catwalk Show for High Society at  Cowbridge Town Hall, 11am Saturday 23rd October, which is going to be absolutely fabulous, for details see High Society Bridal Fashion Showcase.

Our favourite super-stylish Suzanne Jaya gave Emily Woodrow a Colour Consulation in Havana, helping her choose clothes that best complimented her colouring. Suzanne helps you discover which ’season’ you are, and how to choose clothes that really suit you – Emily was a Spring, so she suited more adventurous colours, such as coral, orange, apple green and metallic grey. As Emily says, “Never again will I buy items in shades I can see aren’t quite right for me”!

The solution: a smart pair of white linen trousers and a smart sleeveless top! We love the outfit pictured right, a red sleeveless top from Inwear and a pair of white linen trousers from Fenn Wright Manson. The perfect choice to keep you cool and looking smart – just add a pair of peep toe wedges or courts to keep it summery and a fun umbrella just in case!

Red Sleeveless Top from Inwear, was £60 now £42, available to buy online at yoursecretboutique.co.uk

White Linen Trousers from Fenn Wright Manson, was £79, now £55.30, available to buy online at yoursecretboutique.co.uk

Finally – a summer with sunshine! No summer wardrobe is complete without a good pair of white crops, and we love this pair from Inwear. Unlike cheaper high street pairs, these crops are excellent quality and fit and will last for more than one summer! You can’t go wrong with good quality basics, and these will look perfect with strappy t-shirts and flip lops on the really hot days, or with a pretty tunic and wedges in the evening.

Inwear White Cropped Jeans – was £60, now £42! Available to buy online at yoursecretboutique.co.uk

The babydoll outfit is particularly lovely, and the black strapless number is a fantastic addition to any wardrobe. We particularly love the unusual neckline, as it gives an extra touch of style to an otherwiswe classic dress. The turquoise dress will definitely bring a touch of colour to any prom!

For more details on these dresses, see Charas prom dresses at Your Secret Boutique.

 All four styles are now featured in our Summer Sale with 30% off!
