Trend: The Peplum
The peplum shape was big with celebrites last year, but now it's hit the high street!
The peplum is essentially a bit of extra material around the hips! It creates a very lady-like look and has a feel of old school glam about it. It's not for everyone, as it adds volume to the hips - and although this makes your waist look smaller, it's not great if you're already sensitive about that area!
Make up your own mind: They're all over the high street and would be great for an event, big night out or posh dinner date....
Give it a try!

How to wear: Fantastic Florals!
Florals are a great trend, and they're easy to wear at the moment as there's so much variation out there. But when it comes to mixing floral prints it can be a bit daunting! But to be honest, clashing prints or choosing complimentary prints - it all works, it's all down to your preference.
Here's some outfit ideas (all high street of course!):

Trend piece: The Amazing Blazer
Blazers just got cool!
Ditch that worn out black cardi that you sling over everything and move onto a sheek on-trend blazer. Effortlessly cool, blazers are a great way to layer up an exsisting outfit and make it current.
The great thing is, as blazers are in, they're in florals, bright colours and pastels! No more black office blazer! Add to Jeans and a T for a bit of fashionista at the weekend, or add to a dress for a smart but cool vibe.
Go for a smart Tuxedo style jacket with prominant lapels for an outfit that will really wow.
Roll the sleeves for a more day-causal look (under the elbow though - anything more would bit ambitious!)
Always try on a few different styles, different cuts will flatter different shapes, which can really make a difference!

Colour Trend: Ice Cream Sundae
This spring, pastel 'Ice Cream' shades are a big trend.
Most of the colours you probably won't have worn since you were crawling around, but worn in the right way, pastel shades can look amazing! Use all pastels to create a sheek lady like look, or add one pastel to a white outfit for a crisp clean spring feel. Avoid one pastel piece with all black - leave that look in the 90's!
