Three Tips From Peter

Don't be afraid of color and prints.

A bold print should be the star of your outfit. If you're nervous about mixing patterns, just pair them with black or white.

Perfect the art of layering

A tailored vest or blazer adds structure, while a jean jacket, a tote and bangles give an outfit a breezier vibe.

Attitude is everything

This clothing is about feeling effortless and relaxed with a touch of glam. The best accessory is a healthy glow and a smile!
