Star Buy of the week: Bastyan Amazon Prints

Sleek, stylish  label Bastyan, founded by designer Tonia Bastyan in 2009 has has always been one of my top 'go-to' labels. You can always rely on Bastyan to conjure up a titillating trouseau of expertly tailored, flawlessly feminine pieces to update your waning wardrobe every new season- and the SS14 collection is an absolute dream for women of all ages and sizes.

 Lady-like glamour and casual- luxe are firm fixtures in every Bastyan collection- elements which are guaranteed to win me over every time. However, trying to choose this weeks Star Buy was an especially tough task this week, as the entire collection is so beautifully wearable, ultra stylish- and yet sexy, which is no mean feat for any brand to pull off successfully!

So, after changing my mind about three million times, the magnetic lure of three amazing Amazonian print pieces from Bastyan won out the day. These gorgeous pieces which will add a definitively cool, tropical feel to your new warmer season wardrobe- sans the vibe of the vile Hawaiian-print shirt which I still get nightmares about my Dad wearing on family holidays as a teenager!

So flattering and easy to wear- (just pop on with a pair of skinny jeans- try Bastyan's legendary Italian made ones for a fabulous fit, with no dreaded bunching) choose from the classic silk tunic, the softly tailored silk blouse- or the quirky silk shift dress to capture the ethereal beauty and lush colours of the Amazon in your SS14 wardrobe- and channel your inner Jane if you dare!

The Bastyan SS14 collection is available from Brown Thomas stores in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway- and BT2 stores in Dundrum and Blanchardstown. Now all that remains to complete this ensemble is a suitably buff Tarzan- the must-have accessory this season!
