What women want: Made in the Shade
When spring fever breaks out, women start weeding their wardrobes of winterwear, all the while wondering how to fill the empty spaces.
For women like Cynthia, a visit to a certain renowned clothes boutique in Beckenham provides myriad solutions.
Cynthia appreciates that at Made in the Shade, she receives expert advice and access to quality collections meticulously curated by owner, Ali.
With new stock arriving daily, Cynthia has plenty of scope for spring – starting with the Anne Mardell label (pictured). Renowned for its coordinates, the brand also showcases stunning standalones, such as this season’s Paloma dress.
Optimum parades a crisply nautical look in denim blue, white, and black and white, while black t-shirts, emblazoned with floral hearts and white silhouettes, strike a daring pose.
A Bittermoon dress flaunting colours of vermillion, cyclamen, turquoise, Prussian blue, pale orchid and tangerine, splashed against a chartreuse background, teams beautifully with a glass of bubbly.
Lisette pants rule supreme. From plains, florals, classic ginghams, and polka dots, to audacious avant-garde (á-la Jackson Pollock with glitter), these pants demand attention.
For ultimate laid-back luxury, Blackstone 100% linen tops, shift dresses, and casual overshirts, in plaids, gentle naturals, and vibrant citrus and jewel hues, have everyone yearning for spring.
