Fashion Brands to Watch

This used to be a monthly feature before I took a "morning sickness" break this spring, so I decided to bring it back, because I really enjoy discovering new brands, and I'm sure many of you do, too. So let's get started with this month's new favorites!

Yakshi Malhotra

UK-based Yakshi Malhotra designs quirky knits with great texture and a lot of personality. Her designs must be really fun to wear, but they are also very sophisticated and elegant. Her limited edition sweaters are also worth mentioning - each piece in this line is unique, meaning that you will never see your new sweater on any of your friends!

Matthew Calvin

I've never been much of a minimalist, but recently I noticed a strong desire to get rid of everything that's superfluous in my life and a newly found love for clean lines and simplicity. Matthew Calvin's handmade jewelry is exactly the kind of stuff I need in my life right now: something feminine, simple and beautiful.

Miss-He

Miss-He is a new glamorous evening wear brand with a keen attention to detail and an incredible variety of gorgeous gowns. What their prom, evening and bridal lines all have in common is their signature classically feminine style embellished with lace, pleats, sashes or crystals. Definitely a store to check out for the upcoming holiday and ball season. Get 15% off on their website with the code anettb15!

Letica

If I had to describe Letica's designs with one word it would be fun. I have always viewed accessories as a way to freely express my personality, even in a professional environment where other ways of doing so might not be entirely appropriate, and these bags are definitely perfect for that purpose. Also, every Letica bag comes with a removable pouch for storing and organizing your cosmetics, how awesome is that?
