CHARLES & KEITH’s kids collection makes a welcomed return this season. As your little ones look forward to having fun in the sun, you can look forward to dressing them up in our latest trend-focused designs, which include seasonal essentials such as classic Mary Janes flats and casual ankle strap sandals.

Cute, fun and joyful, this collection is definitely a delight. Featuring a flamingo shoulder bag and matching sandals in PANTONE’s Colour of the Year 2019, Living Coral, these pieces will not only brighten up your children’s outfits but also fire up their imagination – the lovely pair of unicorn ballerinas is especially magical.

To keep the kids’ ensembles stylish yet practical this spring, opt for comfortable ankle strap sandals and slip-on sneakers. These shoes not only keep tiny feet protected as they run and play, but also exude a child-like charm with details such as fringed frills and a speckled bunny motif print.

Rev up your wardrobe with CHARLES & KEITH’s sleek and sporty Spring 2019 collection. As the season shifts, this collection creatively transitions festive bling into the warmer months of spring so you can continue shining in the new year.

Hit the streets in uber-cool sneakers, embellished with sparkling gems for a charming, feminine twist. Or, have fun in dazzling bejeweled heels – from barely-there sandals to silvery slingbacks, these pieces would put a bounce in your step.

If your goal is sophistication, the collection’s bold and dynamic key colour – a bright jolt of royal blue – would leave just the right impression. As seen on a geometric push lock bag and stylish ruched mules, these attention-grabbing accessories are dramatic without being loud.

Last but not least, complete your look with statement-making sunglasses. Plastic rectangular shades are a fashionable must-have of the season, but classic cat-eye sunglasses will always be in style.

Stay cool, even as the mercury rises, in CHARLES & KEITH’s Spring 2019 collection. Inspired by the playful and bold ‘80s Memphis design movement, the range combines wacky geometry with eye-catching primary colours to offer stunning accessories that exude a tropical vibe.

Take the party poolside in our fresh sage green sliders. Pair it with the cute and compact bubble detail crossbody bag featuring a woven strap, the perfect sidekick to hold all your essentials while keeping the water out. Protect your peepers – and look stylish while you’re at it – in our sleek cat eye shades, available in rad red and classic white.

As the sun sets, turn the beat around in silver Chelsea boots or sequinned derby shoes. Let these luxe high-shine textures keep you looking on point at every spring soirée. After something more understated? Add just the right amount of bling and quirk with our ampersand-inspired rings and bracelets available in gold, rose gold and encrusted in gems.

Back on trend, our sock and heel combo will get your creative juices flowing as you mash-up and recreate some unforgettable ensembles. The bolder the contrast, the cooler the look: pair sheer polka-dot nylon socks with punchy floral pumps, or mix navy blue socks with canary yellow sandals for an eye-gripping twist to any look, day or night.

For the perfect finishing touch, look no further than our ampersand jewellery collection featuring rose gold earrings and rings. Delicate drop earrings will highlight your best features and make excellent conversation starters. Why not make it a set with the matching double ring? For a quick confidence (and style) booster, the statement-making “IT’S OK” brass earrings exude an air of self-assurance and 24-hour appeal.

VALENTINE’S DAY GIFT GUIDE: FOR HER

The season of love is officially here and it’s time to spoil the lady in your life with something special. If you’re stumped for gift ideas, or unsure about what she fancies, we’ve got the perfect gift-giving guide for you. Whether she’s into this season’s colour-blocking trend or prefers to tone it down with neutrals, we have everything you need to sweeten the celebration and put a smile on your Valentine’s face.

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

Sweet, charming and fun, this girl exudes an effortless beauty many envy. Her characteristics extend to her fashion sense and she is usually seen in casual, feminine ensembles made up of classic pieces in a soft, warm colour palette. If this sounds like her... You can’t go wrong with our double-strapped Mary Janes in chalk. It’s versatile and cute enough to go with almost everything in her wardrobe. Pair it with a classic chain link clutch in powder pink and rose gold framed sunglasses.

THE MINIMALIST

Sleek, streamlined and simple, this monochrome queen leans on basic colours and barely-there accessories. Her look is anything but boring, because her secret weapon for elevating her understated style is in the unexpected details. If this sounds like her… Give her less-is-more wardrobe a quick update with pieces she already loves, but offer a slight variation. Our nude low-wedge mules exude minimal style and maximum statement. The sporty white sling tote bag is so versatile it’s destined to become a wardrobe staple, while the dainty gold ampersand necklace is perfect for layering or wearing solo.

THE STREET STYLE MAVEN

This girl expresses her love for all-things music, sports and street-style related through her dressing. Edgy, eclectic and electrifying, her fashion sense is one-half punk and one-half playful, mixed with a whole lot of attitude. If this sounds like her… Our athleisure-inspired range is your best bet. Elevate her edgy look with our crisp white chunky-soled flatform sneakers and match it with a trendy white tote with contrast black piping. She loves to make a statement, so give her something to shout about with our blue tinted geometric round framed sunglasses.

THE EDGY URBANITE

She layers like a pro and is not afraid to mix, match and push her style boundaries. Not one to shy away from trends and colours – even when it calls for a little clashing – this fashion girl’s versatility will see her rocking yellow tights with combat boots one day and sleek vertiginous heels the next. If this sounds like her… Feed her big-city personality with some of our top trendy picks. Our snake print ankle boots offer just the right amount of swagger and style points. Complete her edgy look with an asymmetrical bar clutch in basic black and super-cool aviators.

THE BOARDROOM BABE

As she starts on her new professional journey, this girl is looking to channel her inner girl boss. Polished, pulled-together and presentable, she prefers a tailored silhouette and is often seen in power suits or work-appropriate dresses with just the right amount of sass. If this sounds like her… Add sensible staples she can reach for no matter how manic her Mondays get. Our confidence-boosting high-heel ankle-strap pointed black pumps will take her from meetings to after-office dos seamlessly. A skinny grommet belt adds definition to any outfit, while a structured bag in a powerful prune shade can only suggest she means business.

There is even a pair of pink ankle-cut sneakers for the little ones because there is nothing cuter than young love.

In honour of Lunar New Year 2019, CHARLES & KEITH has released an exclusive range of accessories to celebrate the Year of the Pig. The collection features designs based on the auspicious zodiac animal, and it is as cheeky as it is chic.

Start the year off with a clean slate in optic white sandals, slip-ons or sneakers, made festive with eye-catching pops of red and pink. The comfort and ease that these designs provide would be very much welcomed as you make your way through a packed schedule of house parties.

To wrap up your look with something special, turn to the star of the collection—the three-dimensional pig-shaped clutch. It is the perfect size for the festivities and would double as an adorable piece of décor when not in use.

For a less literal take on the theme, opt for nifty pocket-sized pieces such as the printed cardholder or piggy coin purse to celebrate the season in style.

Looking fashionable on the fly is a skill – one that Vietnamese fashion darling Salim Hong has been honing for years.

Her biggest tip: always go for quality over quantity and pack with a purpose. It also helps to have the right accessories on hand to elevate any outfit. With the holidays just around the corner, we ask our trippy trendsetter for her top tips to staying stylish while on the go. The self-confessed bagaholic also reveals which two bags she never leaves home without.

How do you use your bags as a way of self-expression?

I choose bags in colour tones that I like, and can help me express my interests as well as some parts of my unique character.

Also slipping effortlessly into your closet’s day-to-day rotation are our striking top handle bags with metallic trimming. Available in exquisite teal and pretty peacock, they will lend you a polished and cool vibe. If you’re a girl who just wants to have fun, opt for our white ruffle clutch and pink ruffle laptop bag to take your outfit from zero to hero instantly.

Since young, Tania Sarin had always known she wanted a future in fashion. Inspired by her grandfather who worked in the media and entertainment industry for over 30 years, Tania wanted to pursue an equally glitzy career – but not before she earned a degree in fashion marketing first.

It was during her time in Woodbury University, California that Tania started dabbling on social media after taking advice from a forward-thinking professor who stressed the importance of having an online presence due to its rising relevance. However, the stylist-turned-influencer still considers her stardom to be serendipitous.

“When I was working as a stylist and sharing my work online, I realised that my audience preferred to see what I was wearing on the job and it kind of snowballed from there. It was a very organic process.”

The role of fashion influencer seems perfectly cut out for the LA native known for her creative streak. In this collaboration with CHARLES & KEITH, Tania demonstrates her styling prowess with key pieces from our Fall/Winter 2018 collection as she discusses trends, personal style and the multifaceted work she does.
