All that Glitters

With sparkles and sequins sprinkled across the runways of the latest SS/11 collections, its no wonder everyone is giddy for glitter. I for one love the feminine touch that sparkles provide to any outfit and think that a hint of shimmer is the perfect solution to enhance any tired look. With summer fast approaching why not purchase a pair of cheeky sequin shorts to edge up any look ideal for a night out. Dresses dripping in sparkles are a sure statement for any adventurous party darling, and accent heels dipped in glitter will add a gleam to that dainty ensemble. If the girly glitter inspired trend is just too daringly Diva for your liking, play down the look with Cosy cardigans or even a leather jacket for an alternative edge. Whatever accent you choose to incorporate into your wardrobe this season, coat it in sparkles for a sample of ultimate indulgence.

Simply Sporty

Channel your inner sport star this spring with a collection of casual and athletic pieces to work into your everyday wardrobe. We are constantly surrounded with daily stresses and challenges that we often let our style slip right through the cracks in the haste of trying to maintain some level of clarity.So instead of over exceeding the dress code or just completely forgetting your model manners, opt for a casually sporty shift for an effortlessly versatile ensemble. Mix and match stripes and bold prints for a daring approach when paired with converse for ultimate comfort. Remain ultra chic this season by incorporating subtle hints of colour into your outfit with hues including burgundy, flamboyant yellow and even emeralds and teals for a truly offset tempered look. Keep your calm with mini printed and tailored shorts for an energetic feel, perfect for those sunny days. These looks will have you dominating the playing field with uncomplicated ease that can be pulled together momentarily.

Right kinda Raspberry

After all the blog wandering I do online you'd think I would become utterly disorientated, (and more often than not, that is exactly the result.) Yet I do remember coming across this lovely outfit combination a few months ago on one of my favourites, Le Fashion. Although the pieces will have been cleared out of stores long before inspiration struck twice, I couldn't help but turning to the vibrant blazer and feline printed heels for a versatile spring option. The blazer perfectly compliments the tonal collection of black and white, and offers shelter from the crisp mornings without weighing you down as the heat increases throughout the day. Just one more thing to add to the never ending list that consists of my little wishes spotted daily as pops of ruby red are a striking addition to any ensemble. Offset with a pair of ripped denim jeans and a tee as casual as they come, this blazer is the right kind or raspberry for my liking.  

Accessories all areas

Jewellery can be the deciding factor that can make or break an outfit.  Enhancing our fashion for decades, accessories can either be a simple addition or a dramatic focal point. The saying goes somewhere along the lines of "less is always more", yet sometimes that layered, busy effect is just what an outfit is begging for. Lately I can never walk out the door without a bunch of vintage gold rings spilled across my fingers, always to have friends pick up my hand for a closer inspection. Jewellery is not only visually appealing for all of us magpies, but also a sentimental  treasure linking past stories with modern happenings. Which is why I am loving the revial of classic charm bracelets with varietations such as the leather Pandora twisted bands and even chunky chains to hang delicate, meaningful charms. Grab a collection of gold bangles, beaded bracelets and a chunky gold watch for a look that screams Bohemian Goddess. Play up any look with a felt hat during the colder months or a light trilby for a summer alternative and accessorize your look further with printed clutches.  Add lovely layers of jewels for a truly unique look and store any lucky finds in glass jars or vintage bowls for ultimate protection. Sparkle on!
