Whether youre in a pretty one piece like these vintage ladies above, or a sexy bikini catching a sultry tan...make sure you have a stylish cover up on hand to throw over. adore has eclectic beachwear as part of our summer range. embellished with crystals and pearls, these printed silk beach kaftans keep you stylish after a refreshing summer swim! *limited available

What to look out for...

Are you a follower of international department store fashion campaigns? We constantly keep an eye on the latest trends landing in High Street stores! We LOVE H&M and wish South Africa had a branch or two. We've fallen more deeply in love (and more deeply in depression) over the brands collaboration with french fashion house Lanvin. Creative director Alber Elbaz is a striking genuis- his use of colour, texture and prints create unique, tasteful and eclectic pieces. We at adore have been inspired by his use of colour, prints and oversized ruffles! We stock pieces inspired by this collection: Look for ruffle detailing, bold colour, floral watercolour prints and classic cuts.

Long-sleeved Leather!




Granted we're in the middle of summer...and on our side of the world, that means scorching heat and heavy humidity! *phew* BUT being the avid fashion-followers that we are, we cant help but roll down our sleeves at the first sight of rain or cloud cover!
We are absolutely loving this velvet + leather long-sleeved mini dress. Empire line with waistbelt from adore boutique. Limited available. Olivia Palermo ALWAYS gets it right- she pairs her leather LBD with a POP of citrus colour, an orange clutch and yellow Tory Burch pumps. Swanky style for a night on the town... she does afterall reside in The City that never sleeps!
