At Dashing George, we have always paid a little bit more attention to the ladies, as far as fashion is concerned. This may seem unfair to our male counterparts and even more so for the boys out there who are indeed both fashionable and stylish. It is therefore, with great pleasure that we present this month’s Bombe du Mois…a new step in a new direction indeed for us, but as you will see by these photographs, Jakob is not only fashionable, but with styling by mum, he is also stylish!

It's About Time

Say the words ‘Swiss Made’ and you almost immediately think ‘expensive’. Add the word ‘Watch’ to these two words and then the mind begins to boggle indeed. Then, imagine if you were to come across a watch brand that is both affordable, with Swiss design AND made in Switzerland? This sounds like a match made in heaven. Then, you can only imagine our delight when we discovered Cornavin…

The company has a falcon as symbol and this describes the watch perfectly: strong and elegant.  Founded in Geneva, the company is named after an area in the city and has been producing high quality timepieces for over a hundred years – and you know how we love good old fashioned tradition! Each model is limited to 999 pieces and here is the best part: we can all afford our own! The watch collection will not break your piggy bank and you can choose from urban and sporty to classic and timeless. Run by brother and sister, Omar and Souraya Najari, the company is keen to bring fun and energy to the market, already having high profile celebrities rocking their wares.

Our favourites include the CO 2012-2015R of the Downtown Sport Collection and the very refined Bellevue CO 2013-2003 (both pictured below).

We are huge supporters of one-stop shopping. Like a long haul flight, we don’t want to be making pit stops…we want our final destination to arrive as smoothly as possible and with minimal fuss. That is why we are bringing you our highlights from one label because not everything need be so complicated. Life itself can be challenging enough, so move on to our favourite online stop for the week! Welcome to the wonderful world of AllSaints. This British label has been going from strength to strength over the last few years. What to expect? The latest trends, with a tough, clean edge. The AllSaints woman is sophisticated and daring all at one. She is a paradox indeed, but with an eye for detail and form. For larger images, simply click on the thumbnails below...

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

Bold colour is what summer is all about and we adore this skirt, spotted on the streets in down town Cape Town. The skirt is graphic, in its intricate pleating, but kept minimalistic through its basic colour. The sandals are really bohemian and laid back and the cloth necklace is understated and tone in tone with the white blouse. Overall, a perfect look for summer in the city that only houses the beautiful and talented.  Add to this the wavy hair and well-earned tan and we are in heaven…

With all this rain and miserable weather, we have to stay optimistic and dream of vacation. The time to put up those feet and relax…and we, here at Dashing George, believe that relaxing should also be done in style…and with almost everything on sale at the moment, what better time to splurge and get a few key pieces to take your holiday to new levels?

Pulling off monochrome is easy…but making it stand out in a crowd is not so…after all, there are only two colours to play with and these are rather simple, at that. Our next model, spotted in sunny Cape Town, had it all worked out…the wonderful long shirt, held together at the collar with a brass safety pin, the flowing pants and almost careless satchel and flat sneakers…this is so cool, it could be Armani…and we love it.

With all the support for the last post, we decided to bring you a ‘behind-the-scenes’ look and show you the outfits we managed during our editorial shoot for our ‘Bombe du Mois’, Laura.

We decided to incorporate the trend colours for summer (strong black and white looks, island coral and turquoise) while not ignoring the statement patterned trousers that were in most collections. The mini layered with gold sequins is a nod to the old school glamour and the Chanel sunglasses fit the ‘Grace of Monaco’ effect we were going for. For tops, we stayed basic, letting bold necklaces do the talking for us! And of course, the LBD could not be missing as this is a staple…this time with a mesh arm, an updated look for the new season.
