SPRING FEVER



Spring is in the air and we couldn't be more delighted about it. These are a few of our favourite things about the season..
  1. Peaceful picnics complimented by iced tea, fresh seasonal fruit, chilled cider and loved ones.
  2. Bare skin and giving our hosiery drawers and knit collections a well deserved break.
  3. Spring cleaning and decluttering - out with the old, in with the new!
  4. Embracing colour - hello pretty pastels, rainbow brights and pop neons.
  5. Fresh, fragrant flowers. Our favourites? Lilium, jasmine and gardenia.
  6. Embracing the longer hours of sunlight with early morning and late afternoon adventures.
  7. Spring/Summer Fashion Week and turning our heads to the world's leading fashion capitals.
  8. Getting dolled up like princesses for spring racing festivities.
  9. Beating the rising heat with effortless updos like twist-and-tie chiffons, sky high topknots, dishevelled braids and sleek ponytails.
  10. Easy, breezy, beautiful frocks of all hem lengths. Minis, midis and maxis; here we come.
What do you love about spring?

LOOKBOOK: SHE'S A RAINBOW



Have you seen her all in gold
Like a queen in days of old
She shoots colors all around
Like a sunset going down
Have you seen the lady fairer

- She's a Rainbow, The Rolling Stones

The BELÁ TESORO lady lives colourfully, embraces extravagance and dresses up for the sheer joy of it. She sports candy-coloured locks, a rainbow of makeup and one-of-a-kind accoutrement. The glamour enthusiast is a bohemian belle at heart who chases her dreams with her wings spread wide. She brightens up every room in beautiful beading, glittering gems and bold bursts of colour. The BELÁ TESORO lady always stops to smell the flowers.

INSPIRATION: LANA DEL REY


Ooh la la, Lana Del Rey. The sweet-as-pie songstress has taken the world by storm with her "gangsta Nancy Sinatra" tunes and striking retro inspired look. While her signature wardrobe contains beautiful, feminine pieces, every so often she'll throw a spanner in the works to accentuate the rebellious side of an otherwise angelic icon.

Renowned for her extensive flower crown collection and love of pastels, Lana is perfect for the first BELÁ TESORO spring inspiration post. Here she models her signature beehive 'do and an array of glam luxe pieces for H&M's fall campaign, using majestic accessories to polish off a regal composition…
