Romantic Pops of Color

I’m always in the mood for color in the spring and summer, much more than in winter. I also try to create a vibe inspired by the place I’m at on vacation and match my surroundings a bit. In the winter, I just want to wear oversized cozy, moody, or neutral tones.

The Timeless Dress

White poplin dresses, whether they’re vintage or the Helsa ones I make, are a must. I’ve always loved a crisp white or black poplin dress; they’re classic, beautiful, and timeless.

Transitional Trends

Distressed vintage leather jackets are one micro trend that I’ve loved and still love. Also, socks and loafers!! I love a minidress with a white sock and a classic loafer. It’s chic, cool, and comfy and adds a bit of effortlessness to any outfit. A major trend that I feel like we’ve seen for a while is cargo pants, and I’m obsessed with a loose pant paired with a baby tee. The first drop we did for Helsa was based on workwear, and a year later I still wear the cargo pant, overshirt, maxiskirt, and miniskirt on repeat; I just added them to our essentials/core collection.

Chanel ballets are a classic! I’m happy to see them back. And the Miu Miu Logo Strap ballerina shoes look great with socks, without, with jeans or a miniskirt and a leather jacket. All of it!
