Global Prints.

A popular trend this summer is global prints, an easy way to transform your wardrobe. If you are someone who likes to keep things simple and classic then I would stay away from this trend as it is all about making a statement. There are ways to make wearing a printed garment a bit more subtle; wearing a plain white tee, jeans or shorts, tan sandals, a statement chunky gold necklace then going for a statement "printed" colourful beaded bag is one way. I would always say to keep some element of the outfit plain however "prixing" is the way to fully rock this trend (mixing your prints) The more you pile on the better - but try mix n matching garments with some similarities whether it be colour, size or the graphic line to not make a horrendously clashing outfit! Wear this trend with confidence.

Season for Stripes

Trend Four.

Stripes - the best way to brighten up your summer wardrobe.

Oh how I love this trend as it's always reoccuring so I always seem to be able to dig deep into my wardrobe and find stripes of some sort. It saves on the clothes funds at least!

There are many different styles of stripes to choose from, vertical, horizontal as well as skinny or thick stripes. Generally they say to choose ~~horizontal~~ ones if you are completely happy with your body shape and the vertical/diagonal ones if you would prefer to "lose a few pound" or emphasize your most flattering curves and body parts.

Kimono Cover Up.

Trend Three.

Kimono's are a perfect cover up this summer whether for breezy evenings or to throw on over a bikini . A good substitute for the blazer that entered our wardrobes for spring.

Works perfectly for all occasions;

Work - Teamed with a pencil skirt or tailored trousers
Play - Nights out. One of the embelished and more glamorous kimonos would be the quickest way to update your style wardrobe especially when paired with this seasons LBD (little black dress)
Beach - A glamorous change from a simple throw over kaftan.
Day to Day - (My favourite look) denim shorts/trousers, simple vest tee, sandals finished off with a floral print kimono.
Maternity - Loose and comfortable, the perfect pregnancy buy.
