TRENDS - Super Seventies
It is funny how certain trends evolve into something new. The nautical look that has been ever present on numerous shop floors, has lent itself to a seventies style too. Think - High waisted, wide leg denim... flouncy blouses... little waistcoats... bangles.
The other look that fits well within this scheme is the maxi dress. They were in abundance last summer, and you can get a few more uses out of your dress this season too. Make sure it has a great bold print; floral, bright or arty and team with some gladiator sandals or wedges. Throw on some long, layered necklaces and you are done! The perfect trend for summer festivals.
Check out some of my finds for this look...

TRENDS - Love Leopard
I am trying to remember a time without leopard print being 'in' fashion wise and I must admit I can't. This is one trend that has been sticking around for a good few years now and as long as designers keep adding the look to their collections, we will keep it in our wardrobes.
Mix a little bit of leopard and other animal prints into your 'safari' and 'tribal' trend pieces and no one will ever know you are wearing clothes from 5 seasons ago. D&G and Dior love it, Christina Aguilera never let it go, so here are some inspired choices for you...
Leopard Print Trapeze Dress - Sara Berman at Mywardrobe - £270
Leopard Lurex Cardi - Miss Selfridge - £32
DESIGNER - Diane Von Furstenberg
No other designer has managed to design a collection of dresses this season which tick all the trend boxes. Diane Von Furstenberg's collection is vibrant, ethnic and exciting to say the least. Maui styles and floral and tribal prints make for the perfect frocks to be seen in as the weather warms up. Ideal if you have a swanky wedding to attend. See my favourites below.
All the above dresses and the rest of the DVF collection can be seen at Matches Fashion.

TRENDS - Art Class
Various versions of this trend have been cropping up all over celebdom. From watercolour pastels to brushstroke prints, to full on colour explosions. The key for this look is to be brave. Working the look in a boldly patterned dress is the best way to wear but for it to work, you should keep everything else simple. It's time for a fun look and a chance to experiment with unusual abstract patterns. The latest ombre and dip dyed items also fit in perfectly. Try these for size...
