Fashion Fix: very

One of the hottest trends of the season is the Peter Pan collar. Big for the summer but also a trend that will follow through to Autumn-Winter 2011, definitely making it an investment buy! An easy way to get a chic, cute and girly look. The Peter Pan Collar is 60s inspired and a way to make a strong fashion statement yet so simple and feminine!

"The collar takes its name from the costume worn by the eponymous hero in the first production of J.M Barrie’s 1904 play, but has been brought bang up to date this season and is currently finding favour with style-setters such as Fearne Cotton and Alexa Chung."

For a daytime look pair a Peter Pan collar blouse with a pair of skinnies or a midi skirt for an office look. For the ultimate summer time look wear with a skirt and sandals or for an evening look go for a collared shift dress paired with tights and heels.

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.
