S/S 12 Trend: Top 3!

Finally, after the long months of early nights and gloomy weather, finally the sun has decided to make an appearance. And what better way to celebrate spring than with some new, lush trends! Here are my favourite three. 


Pastels
This year the runways seemed to be full of delicious candyfloss shades with designers like Marc Jacobs, Oscar De La Renta, Mui Mui, Lanvin and Louis Vuitton following the ice cream coloured road. Pastels are perfect for a sweet, girly look and look great with most skin tones. They also a great way to ease ourselves into the sunshine. Here are some of my favourite pastel items.

Prints can give any look the fashionista factor where you clash it, accessorise with it or make it your statement piece, Here are my favourite items the shops have to offer.
