#1 Be bold in Black and White

#1 Be bold in Black and White

 

You may have noticed already that a big competitor in the trends for Spring/Summer 2013 is going to be the Monochrome trend...

 

...with more and more black & white pieces slowly cropping up in the best high street stores it's apparent that this trend is most definitely going to be a favourite this year.

 

On the catwalks in late 2012 is where this trend first appeared with designers such as Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs and Celine showcasing this heavily contrasted look to it's best...

 

Balenciaga

 

 

Marc Jacobs

 

 

Celine

 

The beauty of this trend is that it's so broad anybody can easily buy into it...

 

You could follow Celine and buy separates in block colours; either black or white, they could then easily be mixed and matched to create the ultimate monochrome outfit.

 

Another way to stay well on trend (and my particular favourite) is to buy individual items that feature both black and white block colours together. Be careful to go for something too crazy though or you could end up looking more like a walking optical illusion!

So, its' been a long while since my last blog post and for that I apololgise but I've been mega busy over the Christmas season preparing to go back to uni! ...yes that's right! However, I haven't taken my eye completely off the ball... I've still been keeping a keen fashion eye out for all those amazing trends set to bring us straight out of those pesky January blues...

For many 13 is considered an unlucky number but having seen the fashion trends for this year I in no way believe 2013 is going to be unlucky! If fact I can't wait to get my wardrobe filled with these new amazing trends!

Flesh for Fantasy

Flesh for Fantasy

 

With winter upon us long gone are the trends of the summer; the short shorts & the teeny weeny crop top! ...but that doesn't mean to say that we can't still flash a little flesh (as long as it's done tastefully).

 

With the party season soon to be in full swing here's my guide on how to show a little bit of flesh in the winter season...

 

One key thing to remember when working this trend is it's all about illusions wearing clothes with mesh panels gives the idea of showing a little bit more without having to risk pneumonia in these almost arctic weather conditions!

 

On the A/W 2012 catwalk earlier this year it was designers such as  Yves Saint Laurent that worked this 'mesh' winter look so well...

 

 

 With this revealing trend being so popular anyone can buy into it with the amazing choice on the high street!

 

Here's my favourite pieces all available to buy on the Great British High Street...

...who doesn't love a good cause?

 

...and this year even the fashion industry has become involved!

 

Designers such as Alexander McQueen, Prada, Tom Ford and Loius Vuitton are just a few amongst the 30 luxury labels to have created their very own, unique 24-inch Pudsy Bear.

 

These very special bears are to be auctioned on November 15th at Christie's with all proceeds going to the much loved Children's Charity.

 

 All 30 bears are now currently being showcased in Selfridges, London until the day of the auction so if you're near by they're definately worth checking out!

...I for one desperately want one of these amazing designer bears!

 

Why not take a look at the collection and decide which one you like best:

 

 

This Alexander McQueen bear is most definately my favourite!
