Hemp for Victory

hemp denim pencil skirtHemp denim and coconut buttons? Sounds like something Mary Ann whipped up on "Gilligan's Island" — this hemp pencil skirt was handmade by enterprising Moroccan women through ethical clothier Amana. They train, pay fare wages and ensure ethical working conditions to their artisans for creating clothing made from organic and natural materials. (£50/$68)

Tulips in Bloom

tulip skirtsThey say tulip skirts create curves. I say the skirts can also mask the fatness of one's booty if you've already got curves. And, dare I say, they also make you legs appear thinner. That said, here are my top 3 picks from Net-A-Porter. (left to right)
1. 3.1 Phillip Lim pleated waistband self-tie denim skirt, $225
2. By Malene Birger cream pleat front textured cotton skirt, $255
3. McQ navy striped jersey skirt with gathered pockets, $238

Skirtpaper Pattern

cotton skirt with satin trimA classic French wallpaper pattern brilliantly finds it's way onto this crisp cotton skirt with satin trim. The dropped waist delight doesn't scrimp on the fabric, and the twirl-worthy skirt flatters most figures. Offered in a variety of sizes, this is the go-to summer staple that won't dissapoint. For a Julia Roberts casual vibe pair with a ribbed silk tank top, layered turquoise and gold neclaces, Havaianas flip flops and a denim jacket. Or take a turn down celébutante lane with a halterneck silk sheath à la Tracee Ellis Ross, cashmere wrap, sky-high stilettos and armfuls of bangle bracelets.
