However we're blessed with our great UK high-street stores which offer us a little insight of the luxury we wish we could afford with their similarites and replica's.
The main in trends include:
Embelishment
The rule is beads, gems, sparkles, sequins and studs. The more the better! However I find with these sort of busy, full on items it's best to pair them off with something plain. Let's not end up looking like a crimbo tree eh?
The A-Line Skirt
Lets get in our tardis one more time and travel back to the early 60's/70's and get on our a-lines! Personally, I don't think they're flattering for my figure (rather chunky thighs, no curves, just chub-fab I know) but in all seriousness think they would work for almost all figures! HEY HO sometimes you just have to accept a trend is not for you.
£12.99 from H&M, what a lovely colour as well!
The Gentleman's coat/shirt/everything
Right, so here's my plan the boy/girl trend is right back in and boy how I love it! Love that whole Alexa Chung vibe! This season they're really pushing the boat out and I'm loving it even more. 70's print shirts, ties, boxy shaped coats (must have!), loafers, bowler hats- you name it!
Aquilano.Rimondi- Stolen from http://www.vogue.com/guides/
I know this look is a bit marmite, yet I love marmite AND love this look! Here's some I purchased today from old and faithful H&M, reminding me a little of those above (grab yourself a pair whilst you can!). Shall do an outfit of the day as soon as i wear these, that's a promise.
Multicolour Rainbow Fantastic Hair
A look I (boring brown hair) wish I had the guts to embrace! Pastel's in hair colour is so in right now! I'm personally loving the lilac's, silver's and mint greens. Would I ever suit it? and if so what colour!?
Love and kisses x

Thanks alot lovely, love yours also! They we're £12.99 absolute bargain if you asked me! Ended up wearing them for my boyfriend's mam's birthday party teamed with a simple white blouse and flatforms but also think they'd look great with a sloppy black jumper for casual college times etc, love them!
Deletei'm really into these pants too- i have some flowery ones and some polka dot ones!
ReplyDeletei saw these in h&m but my boyfriend hates the whole printed pants trend and for him, this was a step too far- they look like a carpet...
anyway, you have such a cute vintagey style, i love it.
i hope we can speak soon, i love quirky people!
p.s, i'm new to blogging too.
