Tartan Tenant

This sunshine is deceiving, whilst we revel in the rays and show off our latest pedi, we can't help but look to next season. AW'13 is set to be a good'un - posh punk is top of the list. Moving away from last seasons spikes and studs to dark toned tartan prints. Refer to the tradition Celtic print but in pops of Autumnal red and neon accents. These BaubleBar earrings are perfect for day and night, paired with block heels you'll be doing the highland fling!

Those lacy days

Lace, sometimes racy, other times doily territory but yet it maintains its place as that perennially chic trend. This River Island top is perfect, a hint of Christopher Kane neon paired with an exquisite Amber Fever necklace adds a darker element to an otherwise simple look. The layered black chords and hanging amber chunks catch the eye just as much as a frilly lingerie set, summer is supposed to hot. Right?!

Far & wide

This summer, traveler chic has already set off in its wedged espadrilles to the most picturesque destinations. The nomadic influences were evident in collections from Isabel Marant with hand embroidery and tassels galore. Ease yourself in with this quirky H&M Trend necklace and Peruvian style pom pom top. Alpaca not included!

Into the wild...

Anything that hints at places far and wide or captures the atmosphere like a scenic postcard is fashion fulfillment. Dries Van Nonten’s watercolour printed skirt is a piece of art. Throwing on an oversized khaki safari jacket and sporty heels will mean that anyone can survive in the fashion jungle!

That's Mint!!!

Proenza Schouler, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton all went mad for mint this season. The soft shade is one of the most wearable for all skin tones and is ideal for Spring. Taking ladylike from prim to modern with this sweet shade is easy. Wear as a more toned down statement colour, this bag works perfectly. Light-wash denim and chunky black boots are a good contrast to keep this look feeling fresh.

Blooming marvelous

Spring is well and truly here, and so are the flowers. A growing trend you might say! Popping up at Mary Katrantzou and Christopher Kane, their blooming everywhere, literally. Make this mirror image, print skirt the focal point and team with a simple white tank and nude strappy sandals. Pick out one colour and match it to your bag. Hot pink works here and is going to be the key colour to be seen in, in the coming months.

Aloha

Aloha indeed! Spring is in the air and that means one thing…hay fever? No, florals of course. Whether you opt for oversized gardenias or pretty pansies, florals are the all-season print. River Island’s pencil skirt is less than £20 and rivals those by the Prince of prints - Erdem. For a new take on office wear, add a simple tee, coordinating colour pop heels and a neutral bag. You’ll look as fresh as a daisy!

Bombay Sapphire

Less than a week to go until London Fashion Week commences. This time next week it will be all swooshing of silk Hermès scarves, clicking of Blackberry keys, flashing lights of iPhones, and the naturally 5'4 woman looming over her fellow fashionista’s as she miraculously grows 6 inches taller in a space of five minutes, courtesy of Mr. Louboutin himself. If you didn’t quite manage to secure your ticket to the exclusive-industry only-no ordinary people allowed-denied admission unless in over 5 inch heels-ever so converted event, then fear not. This cute pastel crop top and Versace esque print pencil skirt, the ubiquitous print of S/S 12’ will have you on par with the front row troop. All you need is this chunky gold cuff accentuated by the all season colour, cobalt blue.

Bubblegum

With spring quickly approaching, the latest season drops are happening across the stores. Whether your into 80s acid brights or candy coloured pastel shades, channeling your inner warrior with Shanghai style prints or keeping it simple with stripes or just staying faithful to ye' old Leopard print, there's a trend to suit everyone.

Pink was a standout colour all over the SS’12 catwalks with the likes of Acne and David Koma channeling girl power. Try updating an oversized blazer from autumn’s masculine trend with a touch of the girliest of shades, be it bubblegum or blossom…think pink.

Champagne Showers

Whether you’re watching the fireworks or ringing in the New Year with loved ones. Stay warm but chic in the all-season-cover up, the cape. Simply slip an embellished tank underneath and pair with neutral, slate grey ankle boots to celebrate in style. Why not start 2012 with a means to continue, fashionably! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Pretty Pinecones

The polo-neck or turtle neck for many conjures up images of up dos, winged eye liner, radio tuners and The Beatles of course. But this season it has become a staple, layered under shift dresses at Missoni or worn with a statement necklace, anything goes. Try wearing a camel hued one underneath your winter coat for a sleek silhouette and add tan and deep green accessories that eco the colours of autumn.
