TIBI (New York) Pleated Culottes

New York City label Tibi’s practical and oh-so-chic culottes are crafted from woven Italian fabric and sculpted by inverted pleats that add elegant volume. And the midi-length is a blessed relief for those of us who left micro-skirts behind years ago :-).

Pair yours with wedge sandals, or smarten it up with sharp heels. The choice is yours!

(RRP US$550)

The freedom of a skirt with the security of trousers, is one reason which made Tibi’s chic culottes such a hit with fashionistas everywhere.

Chic in culottes: the retro-ish silhouette is having a serious fashion moment.

In the city of Istanbul, Turkey, there are over 150 thousand stray dogs wandering the streets without food or shelter. A clever device by Turkish company Pugedon hopes to help feed those strays by recycling bottles in exchange for free dog food.
Have a peaceful weekend, and happy forthcoming holidays, too. :-)
