For their <u><a href="http://bit.ly/1EapjRR" target="_blank">new spring campaign</a></u>, I had the absolute pleasure of dressing-up in stripes, crisp whites and colour (shock horror!) to shoot and direct this editorial dedicated to the change of seasons and jet setting-off on vacay.

That means lighter fabrics, relaxed silhouettes, lots of white and pops of colour here and there to embrace the change of seasons. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Trust me, after a long winter in a uniform of black on black on black, it feels good. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here’s 4 rules everyone can apply to their wardrobe for spring (because if you can’t go to Santorini, at least this will make you feel like you’re there). </span></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgHPnKSJ7xV12z7S2iYHDmLbk28Ppm4jHqXNFUFbd_6hnltunL02K-oUjXA1XEid5rc-cyGHzJV_l3HuFsb7VxvrAuIfiTctr_Z_tXqmwZi2YZOl1s2qkWOlmonzdJgJzLx3yV6FynqZdg/s1600/chronicles-of-her-stripe-midi-dress-myer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgHPnKSJ7xV12z7S2iYHDmLbk28Ppm4jHqXNFUFbd_6hnltunL02K-oUjXA1XEid5rc-cyGHzJV_l3HuFsb7VxvrAuIfiTctr_Z_tXqmwZi2YZOl1s2qkWOlmonzdJgJzLx3yV6FynqZdg/s1600/chronicles-of-her-stripe-midi-dress-myer.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1.
