Some of the hottest trends to look out for this Summer.

Summer is a time to enjoy the sun and turn your wardrobe into a colourful heaven. Here are the top 6 trends for this summer!

Ruffles

This is one of the top trends this Summer, you'll be seeing ruffels everywhere; on shirts, skirts and dresses. Ruffles tend to bring out the girlier side of us!

Wear it: Ruffles draw attention to whatever part of the body they are worn on, so wear ruffles near your neckline it will draw attention to your face or wear ruffles on a skirt hem this will draw attention to your sexy legs.



Safari/Tribal

Go wild this Summer with the newest safari and tribal looks which include beaded jewelery, animal prints and safari jackets.

Wear it: Head to toe tribal looks too costumey so rather opt for wearing one or two safari/tribal inspired pieces and pair it with something modern eg: a tribal dress paired with metallic shoes or a safari jacket paired with your favorite jeans.



Statement Shoes

Statement shoes sometimes are a work of art on their own and are insanely high but one thing they always do is attract attention.

Wear it: Statement shoes normally do just that, they make a statement so don't pair them with an outfit that they will not have to compete with. Opt for a tight black dress with glittery high heels or rolled up boy jeans with wedges.



Bare shoulder

Whether you bare it by wearing a strappy top or let a shoulder slip out of your top this is a perfect Summer look.

Wear it: Show off your brown toned arms this Summer with this trend it is sure to turn some heads.




Bright bag

Bright bags are not only for the beach or used as baby bags. Hot pink, yellows and electric blues and orange handbags are all the rage this Summer and so they should be.

Wear it: If you are feeling brave try mix and match bright colours by wearing a hot pink bag with electric blue tights, otherwise for the rest of us pair a bright bag with white, black or neutrals to make everything look brand new!




Nude shoes

Nude shoes make your legs look ten time longer then they actually are, i love this trend!

Wear it: Nude shoes are the perfect neutral, they are so versatile you can pair them with any and all colours, the trick is too keep your legs bare for the most flattering look.

Most outrageous shoes seen on the runway this year!

Now I'm all for high heels, lets admit it girls they hurt but they look oh so good no amount of pain will stop us prancing around in them. All the high heels we see in the stores are inspired from the runway and i am the first to admire then drool over and then purchase a gorgeous pair of high heels. Some of the high heels seen on the runway over this year have been the most outrageous i have ever see and had to take a second glance at. I'm wondering just how did these models walk in some of them???

Nature inspired

Clutch style

Clutch purses are glamorous, elegant and essential to take to a club!Picking the right clutch can be tricky because you have to choose one that will go well with most of your outfits. There are so many clutch styles and shapes this Season here are a few clutch trends that you can choose from.



The Convertible Clutch

Convertible clutches are a hot item this year because they are so practical. They can easily convert from a clutch to a shoulder bag or tote with one flick of the wrist.

Hard-Case Clutch
These retro inspired toughened up purses look great for evening, against sleek satin or silk outfits.  The most poplular hard case clutches are vintage inspired.

The Metallic Clutch

For the last couple of seasons the fashion industry has had a love affair with metallics. This is just as true for bags as it is for shoes and other accessories. A metallic clutch is the easiest way to add a bit of instant glamour to an evening look.

The Mini Clutch

What they lack in practicality, they make up for in style. With just enough room for some small change and a lipstick these cute mini clutches are ultra-fashionable arm candy right now. Choose from two styles – the traditional-shape (mini ) clutch, or a super-slim crayon clutch, the size of a pencil case.

The Oversized Clutch

Giant handbags have now lead to the birth of the oversized clutch. These oversized clutches are more versatile than the average-sized clutch purse i must admit which will make some girls very happy.

The Multi-Colored Clutch

The brightly colored clutch designs will brighten up a summer's day. Multi-colored clutches will spice up any outfit. Use it to perk up a little black dress or a classic wardrobe piece, to give it an edgy look.

Style inspiration from the Kim Kardashian!

Today I am writing a blog about my style inspiration Kim Kardashian. Lately I have been absolutely in love with the way she dresses both casual and formal using waistcoats as the main item. Here are some of my favourite waistcoat inspired outfits by Kim Kardashian which i think are outfits that all girls should have in their wardrobes!


Black Waist Coat

The Black waist coat can be both formal and casual depending what you pair it with here Kim has paired her black waist coat with a plain white T and dark denim jeans, natural make up and hardly any accessories. The black waistcoat still makes her look sophisticated!

 Grey Jersey Waistcoat

 This waistcoat is all about comfort and is perfect at keeping you warm on those cool summer nights it is the perfect length to wear with leggings and boots and suits any and all body types!

Denim Waistcoat

 The denim waist coat is a little more fashionable and easy to pair because it goes with almost everything. I personally think denim goes great with anything white, which Kim has pulled off here perfectly!

White Waistcoat

This is the classic white waistcoat, it too can be paired with pretty much anything, i would personally pair it with a formal outfit rather than a casual one because it is such a classy piece. Pair it with long pants and a plain T underneath!

Some of my favourites...

Waist coats

Hope you girls go out there and get your staple waist coat, it really is a piece that you will wear often and have fun pairing with different outfits.

Summer Bikinis!

Summer arrives and we are all eager to hit the beach to work on our tan wearing our latest bikini! This Summer brings us three trends of bikinis that stand out from the runway for me.Take a look and find out what bikini you will be rocking on the beach this Summer!



The Cut away Trend


The cut away trend is the one bikini trend that isn't for the wall flower but can look amazing and create both a sexy and sophisticated look without even trying. This trend derives from the cut away clothing trend that has been seen on the runway...Pick this as your summer bikini and you cant go wrong.






The One Shoulder Trend

The one shoulder bikini trend is one that many girls will be able to wear and look amazing this summer. If one of your best features is your shoulders then this is the perfect  swimsuit for you this summer. I personally love this trend on a bikini because it is something different to the boring string bikini!Take a look at this trend on the runway...



The Colour Trend

This trend is my favorite out of the three because i absolutely love colour! Choose a colourful bikini this summer and you will be the one standing out on the beach! Choose colours that are warm since it is summer and go wild with accessories and embellishments on bikinis. Check out these colourful bikinis on the runway...
