Metalicus Summer Collection

Metalicus Summer 2011 is a season of pretty with pastels and summer sorbet’s, lace and crochet insets and pleat and frill details. Metalicus is a fashion bodywear label with pared down aesthetics designed for layering or to be worn as simple basics. The collection of separates is unique because of the use of two-way stretch and “one size” fabrications. Which means you’ll get a perfect fit every time.


I love the dipped blue and white look in the floaty dress and the harem pants above. These two items would be perfect summer staples.

Now for something completely different … I love this bright pink bodycon dress – a definite ‘notice me’ dress for any summer cocktail party. It’s a little different from the floaty demure options above but is a great buy for any girl looking for an alternative to her faithful LBD.

The brand’s philosophy is ‘we provide the basic, you create the look.’ Metalicus Summer 2011 is a season of pretty with pastels and summer sorbet’s, lace and crochet insets and pleat and frill details. Metalicus is available at Stuttafords stores and leading boutiques nationwide.

I was a big fan of Ray-Ban before this but now that they’ve upgraded the popular Aviator and Caravan styles with these uni Flip Outs I’m an even bigger fan!
