Candy Colours Trend SS12

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

SS12 is all about candy colours and soft pastels! Lemon yellows, pretty pinks and cool hues of blues and mint will be filling the shops!

Already there are some gorgeous pieces that would be a great addition to your wardrobe!

Pastel colours are a brilliant way of adding colour without being too bold. Colour blocking will still be on trend but will be less vibrant and replaced with a soft palette.

Many designers demonstrated this trend on the catwalk such as Erdem, J.Crew and Louis Vuitton!

I love the soft fabrics and the tones of colours being used. Here is a selection of  a few  pieces spotted on the high street,  that will ease you into spring!

 

 

This cotton sweater from Zara £19.99 is a perfect piece. This is such a versitile top and can be worn with jeans and skirts a great item to mix and match with your existing wardrobe.

 

Next this pretty pink peplum dress from Moschino £240, this dress is stunning and fitted at the waist, while  accentuating curves. A gorgeous dress for spring and also good for any occasions over summer. This dress can be worn in many ways and can be teamed with heels, flats and wedges! Overall a brilliant investment item!

 

 

For a hint of pastel colours this blouse from Topshop £18.00, is a easy way to have a hint of colour and be stylish at the same time. This blouse is so effortless and can also be dressed up with a skirt or worn casually with a pair of jeans, this is great for the weekends, for a relaxed casual look!

Floral prints!

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

New year , new trends and 2012 has some great looks that will be hitting the shops very soon if not now.

Floral prints are always in season, but this year they are back again and be prepared to see lots of floral patterns hitting the high street from the catwalk!

Head to toe floral prints are big this year ….last year it was all about clashing and this year it is about wearing the whole print top and bottom!

Just by adding a hint of floral to your wardrobe essentials can transform a look. Or even if you do not want to copy a whole trend accessorising with a print works well.

 

 

Below Peter Som and J.Crew have both illustrated this on the catwalk with a suiting range in bright floral designs.

Digital print is also big this Spring and be sure to see lots of dresses and jackets in graphic floral print!

 

                       

 

Diane Von Furstenburg without a doubt has signature prints and she has added her own unique twist on the floral print.

The prints are subtle and chic and completely wearable and flattering.

I love the use of soft fabrics and colour palette that show off these strong patterns.

Lovely Lace

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

Christmas is upon us, and what better to wear throughout the festive period than a lace dress. Lace is always stylish and with so many options to choose from at the minute you can’t go wrong when finding a good style that suits you.

Lace is chic and sophisticated without being too over the top.

First off is exactly that. A classic take on a lace dress. This dress by Malene Birger £279, is simple yet chic, completely timeless and a great shape. On trend with the black leather trim details and glamorous. This is an all round perfect dress and can be worn teamed with heels or flats on Christmas day!

 

 

Next is this figure hugging lace dress by Reiss £110. This is a great dress if you do not want to wear all lace. The lace sleeves flatter the arms. Looks great worn with opaque tights!  This is also a great staple black dress for your wardrobe.

 

 

This lace dress from Topshop £48, is perfect if you want to try lace in another colour.  This dress is a very flattering shape that clinches the waist. This is so versatile and can be dressed up with heels and a clutch bag or dressed down with ankle boots and flat pumps. A brilliant day to night piece!

 

 

 

Last but not least I have to mention this stunning dress from Karen Millen £135, in the sale from £199. This dress is gorgeous with sleeves that flatter and a great classic shift dress shape. I love the lace embroidery. This dress is a fantastic addition to your wardrobe for seasons to come and will never date.
