Fashion Post!

Okay, I felt I HAD to post again, I suddenly felt like I was having Fashion withdrawal symptoms, and I must do something about it! So here is a load of interesting things I've found the past week or so while being ill...

**********

Reading this Month's Vogue; The Ultimate Spring/Summer Catwalk Report [UK] - in association with Selfridges&Co
The trends for the S/S 2011 Catwalk:
  • Colour Splash; be bright, be bold, and clash with style!
  • Sportswear; keep it smart, sleek and modern.
  • Modern Craft; tassles, feathers and crochet textures!
  • Intense Blue; think ultramarine and oceanic colours!
  • The Gathering; pleats, gathers and draping for added texture and movement!
  • Flowing Fabrics; maxi gowns floating over the body…‘revealing as much as they conceal’
  • White; crisp and clinical elegance in evening gowns and impeccable tailoring.
  • Latin; think frills and full skirts!
  • Denim; pinafores to workday suits - denim rules!
  • The new black: TANGERINE! Vibrant and youthful.
  • Eastern Influence; kimono’s, obi belts and red lips.
  • Layer-Up; soft lines and sheer fabrics.
  • Nude; figure hugging second-skin shades are an elegant alternative to this season’s brights.
  • Natural; floral and fauna.
  • What to wear to keep warm?; trenches and biker jackets!
  • Accessories; belts, gym pants, hats, sunglasses, headscarves, clutches, stachels, platforms, white heels, flat sandals and sculptural shoes.
  • Think the 70s; big hair, big flares!
  • Strong make-up; yellow eye shadow, matching nails and lips, bold red lipsticks and big bold eyes.
  • Hair; big and bold, or sleek and smooth.
  • Bare Back; reveal the new erogenous zone, brave the no bra experience and wear the lowest backed garment you dare!
