Jill Stuart Spring 2017

Just as I'm falling out of love with Paul & Joe, Jill Stuart is getting more of my attention these days. The princessy, blinged out faux crystal aesthetic of the brand hasn't changed but it has become more experimental with shades, often packing in more tones into each product for a more visually arresting presentation. The upcoming Spring 2017 collection Sweets Couture is centered around pastels, which would normally be a snoozefest for me but this one actually looks pretty interesting and appealing. All the products are limited edition so don't miss its launch on 17 January in Japan.
