Well last time I forgot to mention jumpsuits or all in ones however you like to think of them. I think they're fab. They come in so many styles and fit with all the other trends at the moment.


Chanel

This looks effortlessly chic and elegant yet by adding the jacket Chanel make it look cute and fun.




Carolina Herrera

This oozes sophistication and the shiny fabric and tailoring makes it look very glam.

Alexander McQueen

Who couldn't just love this its so impractical yet so stylish and it makes me feel that I've jumped back to a completey different time.

The lace detailing is amazing and i love how the bottems end with genie ancles.


Preen

Sporty and very useful. I love the over sized arms and the rolled cuffs on the legs of the shorts.

Where to begin, well .... the trend reports are out and to be fair I love most of them. Some a little impractical but hey that's fashion and on the right person they'd look amazing! I completely adore the fact that so many of them are so girly and that we've moved away from the masculine and androgynous styled clothes.

A key example of this is the peepshow/lingerie look. It show the feminine form at its best without being too slutty or tacky in general. I love the use of vintagey nighties as dresses and embellishing everything with lace and pearls, it's so glamorous but with a touch of naughtiness for fun. Full skirts and the mass use of sheer fabrics also follows the girly femenine lead, even when made in darker shades or sharper cuts the clothes still ooz femeninity. Its fantastic!

Another trend that i always love is florals, each designer always manages to use them so differently, some big and colourful and others dainty and pale. However I don't understand why each year magazines always manage to make them sound like some brand new thing that we've never seen before. Sure the cut and style of the clothes are new but the concept is one of the longest standing trends that exist.
