Follow Sequins And Bangles


I have to say I loved Prada's accessories at their Spring/Summer show, so much so that I decided to do a post on them! (",) I especially loved their wedges! I also loved their quirky sunglasses and colour pop bags. Love how some of the bags match the outfits perfectly! Here are some of my faves...

Spring Summer 2011 Trends.....

I thought I'd do a quick post on what the main trends for Spring/Summer 2011 are as I know not all of us have the time to be trawling through the shows or magazines trying to work them out for ourselves! :) Now even though the weather hasn't arrived yet, the new collections all have in stores

Super Brights

Bright, brights are here this season, and oh are they bright! Think of a box of Crayola crayons, and that is what your wardrobe is going to resemble this season. Layer 'em up, mix them together or just accessorise a black outfit with a super bright scarf or handbag.

The 70's

I am very excited about this trend, seeing as I've always thought I should have been around in the 70's! Their is a luxe twist coming through on the 70's trend this time round, and it is definitely quite glammy and evening, yet still laidback. Think Bianca Jagger, Halston and Studio 54. Colours are deep and vibrant, expect beautiful fabrics, boxy jackets and peasant blouses. Ruffles, tan belts and platforms are a must for this trend.

Prints

Quirky prints were all over the catwalk this season. Prints have gone crazy championed by Prada and Mary Katrantzou, and really anything goes. Garish and in your face prints rock as do more subtle prints. Of course animal prints and polka dots are still hanging around.

All White

The Winter White trend from last season has continued into a Spring/Summer white trend. It is perfect to lift the spirits. A white dress and white pants are the must have pieces within this trend. It is quite a minimalist trend, so it doesn't need to be overdone, but was seen with gold at Alexander Wang. Personally I shall be looking for a white 'Le Smoking' inspired blazer to bring it into a more office wear everyday look.

Dear Frankie....


Someone whose style I've admired now for a while is Frankie Sandford of The Saturdays. Personally I think this girl can do no wrong. She rocks every outfit she wears and I don't think I've ever not liked an outfit shes worn. I'm not normally a fan of pop singers and how they dress but this girl rocks such a cool, edgy All Saints look. I love this style and its so refreshing to see girls my age not rocking the overdone Wag look of fake tan and those damn hair extensions on nights out. She looks so comfortable and like she would be so much fun to go on a night out with. I also love how most of the shoes she wears are from Office or Topshop and how she is a huge fan of the high street! Finally someone who really does shop where we shop! (",)
