You don't have to be Elton John to enjoy kitch..as summer often involves holidays, kicking back n letting our hair down it's the ideal time to inject some fun back into your look!! Im loving these beauties from Primarks SS14 collection I'll be sporting these by the pool, at the beach bar..round town and even in my garden!! #Everythings coming up roses!!
So its Mother's day even if you aren't a mum bring out your mother earth or sunday best and wear something pretty or girly #afterall it is spring!!
Unsure how to wear the new fluted hem skirt# try going for an edgier look by mixing with punk elements such as this printed tee and lace up heels or casuals like a quilted or print sweat and converse pumps!
Two to watch the re-emergence of past trends the off the shoulder and the crop palazzo! ! Both can be difficult and can easily look dated so be sure to buy new for the trousers to achieve a modern fit..however for the dress vintage could work if it was a lace cocktail dress aka pretty woman or a 50s prom dress..for tops buy new to look fresh not crazy!
The sports luxe trend continues through to SS14..with the easy silhouettes in luxurious fabrics this is an ideal spring summer look..for a work to bar outfit just add heels and a statement necklace and your lippy and your good to go!
Today is a new day! you can be whoever you want to be!! We all have our own style icons past or present. .my modern day muses are Sienna Miller and Olyvia Palmevero..Sienna for her natural boho ease and Olyvia for her impeccable finish and personal outfit choices..there's a style diva within us all..why not make today the day you chanel yours!!
Dont be a slave to one trend for a contemporary look try mixing it up! This nautical and pretty vintage look works really well..resulting in a girly preppy image..also try nautical with punk or preppy with prom!!
Straps and lace up details are massive in footwear this SS..not just for heels, mary janes, pumps, shoe boots and sandals also get in on the action..from one ankle strap to multi directional or a mix of strapping and lacing there's bound to be a pair to suit..im loving the flat black multi strapped shoes and high heeled ostrich stone sandal ones both John Lewis as well as the pink ankle strap high heeled ones which are from primark!!
The nod to the 60s as you may know is a strong trend for this Spring. With this I believe the 60s cocktail dress will have its time in the spotlight..on the catwalks Christopher kane, Tapa Naka and Oscar De La Renta showcased an abundance of pretty coloured satins, jacquards and shantuns often bejewelled or bowed in 6os silhouettes..plenty will be evident on the high street but keep your eye out for your vintage one of a kind! its the perfect dress to see you from shopping to early evening cocktails, cute sassy and girly!..keep it simple with perfectly coordinated shoes..its all about the dress!!
Try wearing your printed tees with contrasting formal or girly outfits for that cool 'I just threw this on' indie chick look! Another alternetive to skirts is to team with a trouser suit, wow necklace and killer heels!
A key silhouette which has been bubbling under the surface set to gain momentum is the midi length skirt. With the love for all things vintage the full circle version is proving the most popular. This wildly girly shape cant help but turn any regular woman into an ultra feminine star. Printed or plain there's an abundance of options to choose from. Key is to ensure the length is just right, if you're tall go longer and for all you petites ere more on the mid calf length so not to swamp your frame. Keep the rest of the outfit simple to avoid overkill..however you can add a belt or statement necklace for that extra je ne ces qoi!
Fearne and Rhianna are both style confident celebs and even celebs have dress down days. Both rock the uber casual look..in my view its all in the shoes!! The shoes are girly or sassy to give height and edge and thus avoid looking totally masculine and scruffy!
