Hello my darlings, myself and Victoria are so happy to share with you a new episode for the Princess Tea-Party Podcast.
It has been wonderful to hear your kind responses to each episode we release and we’re always welcome to hear your suggestions for future segments.
In this month’s episode we’re talking all things femininity – we go in depth on how to cultivate your own feminine wardrobe but also the activities which you can incorporate into your daily routine to feel more feminine.
To me, femininity and the art of being feminine is a multi-faceted term – although traditionally, there has been a sense that the feminine is something particular, primarily associated with dresses and wearing pink, this is not necessarily what myself and Victoria would suggest are the epitome of femininity.
The cultivation of femininity, arises from a soft, kind-heart, being gentle with yourself and the world around you. In this sense, the feminine, comes from within. Yet there are also ways you can embody this internal attribute, externally through your sense of style.
Myself and Victoria delve back into the archives, discussing the silhouettes, fabrics and fashion houses we have looked to for inspiration. Whether its from Dior’s New Look, which launched in 1947 and completely revitalised the feminine silhouette
or the sleek and chic designs from Julia Engel’s Gal Meets Glam, there are so many sources of inspiration and brands which epitomise the the embodiment of the feminine, the elegant silhouette, rose-petal like dresses and soft dispositions which capture femininity.
You can find so many sources of inspiration to create your new look and we really hope this Podcast can help you! I also have another blog post which delves into ways you can feel more feminine at home and I also detail advice for creating a feminine wardrobe.
You can find more details in the Podcast but if you would like to know my top tips on cultivating a feminine wardrobe, just keep on reading!
♡ Find your style inspiration(s)
I often find it easier to create looks and know what pieces I would like to purchase through sourcing different individuals I admire for style inspiration. You can gather this inspiration through Pinterest, creating a board of ideas through your favourite icons! I personally look to Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly & the Duchess of Cambridge for my style inspiration but I also admire so many bloggers style
♡ Create a moodboard
Begin by creating a mood board of images which inspire you – this could be looks from your favourite couture shows, pieces which you have longed to add to your wardrobe, iconic outfits from classic films and ensembles which embody your dream style! You could make this in a scrapbook or digitally but this can be a wonderful reminder to keep looking to for inspiration. Once you have discovered which silhouettes and colours you are drawn to – its time to gather inspiration! You can find this from so many sources and I particularly love to look at magazine editorials, my favourite fashion shows from Chanel & Dior, classic movies, ballet performances, and pieces worn by my style inspirations – Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Kate Middleton. Inspiration can be found in the smallest to the largest details and finding some style inspirations which you can look to when you’re not sure what to wear! This does not mean you need to completely imitate their style but you may find a particular fabric which looks wonderful on Audrey which you’d like to emulate or a colour on a dress worn by Grace Kelly – there are so many ways you can embody their style in your own looks!
♡ Switch to dresses and skirts
Another way to embody feminine style is to ditch the jeans/trousers and wear dresses and skirts! I personally believe this is an effortless way to truly embody the feminine silhouette which was established by Dior’s New Look – placing emphasis upon the waist and the flower-like essence of the female body which Dior described as “flower women”
I think that even if you are wearing a beautiful garment, if your pieces are not cared for – this can completely undermine the elegance of your ensemble. Paying attention to each detail of your appearance is crucial to achieving an elegant, feminine look.
I really hope you enjoyed this post my darlings and make sure to stay tuned for our next Princess Tea-Party Podcast.
As always, I’m sending so much love to you all and I hope you can have the courage to pursue your own dreams.
My favourite pieces to build your feminine wardrobe…
I’m sending lots of love to you all,
