For many years I've been using Swarovski accessories when styling editorial photo shoots and also for red carpet appearances.

One can never go wrong with a crisp white shirt to dress up any look. Styled with rolled sleeves and a front tuck creating a chic look for day and night.

Winter dressing is all about having chic outerwear.

When it comes to white jeans, fabric is key.

The weight of a fabric is inconsequential, since seasonal dressing is all about layering.

For proper family portraits it's best to stick with classic, timeless looks that will not only be beautiful now but also in 20 years, and keep the wardrobe color palette similar so it looks like the group shot was well planned.

Photos convey a point in time, so for casual snapshots I say wear the trends so you have fun images to look back at.
