With spring in the air we’re loving the new Martin Margiela-designed Hotel La Maison Champs Elysées in Paris (pictured above) for its subtle variations on classic white – especially the “loose covers in white” suite, where every object is wrapped, Christo-style, in white cotton.

A key trend this summer, white is also a failsafe classic for your staple wardrobe. Pay tribute to the new season’s minimalist aesthetic by combining our Tluxe classic white New Suzie Q tee with skinny jeans and ankle boots. Come summer, it’s all about keeping shapes simple and accessories to a minimum, a la our new season house model Emma Balfour, seen here pictured in a dress from the new Tluxe spring/summer 2011-12 collection, which hits stores this month.

Australian model Miranda Kerr’s spectacular return to star form at last week’s David Jones catwalk show reminded us just how much we love a stylish mum.

We love Miranda’s style, but it’s her health conscious approach to life, which really sets her apart. The model’s trim, post-baby bod is one part genetics to two parts healthy eating, pilates, and yoga, care of our favourite Bondi yoga teacher, Charlotte Dodson. Charlotte has not only been Miranda’s personal yoga guru for years, but both ladies are fans of Tluxe's stylish take on yoga wear.

"It's refreshing to find a label that designs stylish, eco-friendly pieces that I can wear to teach and practice in,” says Charlotte. “Ultra-comfortable, skin-healthy organic cotton jerseys and bamboo are naturally perfect for yoga."

Watch out for Charlotte sporting Tluxe on the August 29 edition of Australia’s Next Top Model on Fox8, where she teaches the young stars the finer details of a sun salutation wearing our Fatima hooded poncho, Bambi leggings, and Anya stretch wool fleece top.

Right now, with the rain beating down outside, we’re dreaming of warmer days, and the soundtrack to our week in the studio has been mostly of the laid back kind, starring the likes of Quincy Jones and the original version of Summer in the City, sampled by the likes of the The Pharcyde and Nightmares on Wax. We thought we’d share it with you. Enjoy.
