It has been months since we hit you up with a Money Can Buy You Style outfit suggestion. This week’s feature is based around the office casual dress code which is the basis of our dressing at present. We love this half:half sleeveless sequin top mixed with a classic pair of black fitted trousers. All accessorized with a black as the night glitter clutch by Anya Hindmarch (we have been lusting after one of those for months) and a pair of black YSL flats. The result is an inoffensive fashion forward outfit which can be worn at even the most unadventurous of offices. Glam enough to feel fabulous, smart enough to feel professional without being a spectacle . This look will get you compliments and noticed, without becoming the talk of the entire work place.

Style Icon to Watch 2012 : Elizabeth Olsen

With a successful clothing range named in her honour and designers throwing their pieces at her nude manicured fingertips, it isn’t too bad to be Elizabeth Olsen right now . We are already fans of her designer sisters Mary Kate and Ashley’s fashion sense, but it is great to have a new Olsen wardrobe to covet. Elizabeth is a fresh hit of fashion in the Olsen radar. While Mary Kate’s style is always transitioning it’s hard to define and with Ashley as a lover of chic tailoring and American classics, Elizabeth is the happiest of mediums. We can not wait to see what she is wearing to her latest premier and appearance. While her colour pallet is safe and inoffensive she takes risks in the cut of her outfits and adds interest with embellishments. There are also sparse paparazzi shots of Elizabeth at this early stage in her career making her style ever more mysterious and intriguing. She is defiantly Watermelon Fox’s Style Icon to Watch in 2012.

Bowler Man

On a recent lunch trip out I discovered these amazing hanging Bowler and Top Hat Lights in a restaurant in Buckinghamshire. There is something very Paul Smith about these light fitting and I love the gentlemanly touch they bring to an interior. These lights look worthy of any GQ man and would fit perfectly in any masculine hang out. With a gold leaf-esq linning and the darkest black fabric, the bowler and top hat lights ooze luxury and class. A great touch that really added to the aesthtic of the eatery. We love to be inspired in unexpected places.
