A "Romper-Suit," or Romper (Playsuit) is a "one-piece garment worn by children and sometimes women. Somewhat similar to a coverall, it is loose fitting and usually has shorter legs that may be gathered at the end. Puffed pants are particularly associated with rompers. Rompers usually are meant as a combination of shorts and a shirt, though the term can include jumpers, one-piece bathing suits, and clubwear fashions to name a few."

It is hard to believe that Spring is upon us and it is finally time to begin thinking about transitioning our wardrobes from heavy wools and cashmeres, to silks, linen and lace.

If we want to choose the colour that is all time classic through the years this will be black. In the summer the usage of black colour limiteds in accessories in the morning hours and it may be used more in the evening hours. When the breezing winds appear, in the early September, the black is back and it makes it clear that it's here to stay.Despite the personal style of every woman (from Rock to Romantic style and from the Glamorous to Vintage style) we all have a great (or a small) amount of clothes in black colour in our closets and we all have that little-black-dress that has saved us in the last minutes. Furthermore, we can't deny that our black accessories like our black high heels or our black medium-size bag are fit with all of our outfits.
