Style with ikku #8 - Soho date night
Welcome back to style with ikku, we hope you have all survived the heatwave. It is lovely to finally have some cooler days and this week our style code is Soho date night ;) If you have visited Soho lately you will notice all the streets are no longer filled with cars but many many dining tables! A scene we never thought we would see in London, it is rather spectacular like we are on a holiday somewhere exotic. The following outfit is perfect for a girls date night or your ‘single and ready to mingle’ look.
First, we will start the look by this eye-catching 80s inspired silk-satin jacquard patterned mini dress with a retro floral print that has been well-loved by Leonie Hanne lately. It has angular padded shoulders and a plunging V-neckline which goes perfectly with ikku’s Lemon Sapphire Flower Neckline to dazzle your date. This dress also comes with an optional belt embellished with an oversized flower which can also be worn as a necktie or headband. Then we have picked Bottega Veneta’s BV Spiral leather sandals, they are designed to wrap around your ankle seamlessly with low heels and padded insoles for extra comfort.
To accessories, we have picked The Row’s half moon leather shoulder bag. We are attracted by their perfectly smooth lines and the lovely brown colour which will slot effortlessly into your everyday look. Next, we have picked Balmain’s new hairpin which has a sense of oriental touch to it, matching with the Soho vibe. To complete the Soho date night look, we have also picked out Charlotte Tilbury’s superstar lipstick to make sure you have an irresistible lips. Last, to complete this look we need a touch of love. Don’t we all look for all kinds of love constantly? The best kind of love we can ever ask for is self-love, and this week we have picked ikku London's The Love Ring to show women’s empowerment.
Until next week, be ikku and have a lovely date night!
