Trend: GB Frenzy!

With the Queens Diamond Jubilee fast approaching and the Olympics looming over the Summer, the shops have gone GB mad!

Cute patriotic teapots, commemorative shortbread tins and reams of bunting, the high street is buzzing with a patriotic theme.  Unfortunately these cute items also come hand in hand with an overkill of full-on flag print fashion! Even the Geri Halliwell Union Jack dress has been reborn - you can see her modelling the dress and her range at Next here: http://www.next.co.uk/g3778s3#833497g37 (This time with sequins - cringe!)

A union jack T can still look cute with denim hotpants and wedges - no denying that.  But heres some ideas for something a bit different:

House of Holland tights, Asos £15
Shopper bag, Accessorize £22
Cath Kidson necklace, Asos £16
Wooden bunting, Debenhams £15

Flag, Accessorize £3.50
Chunky ring, Accessorize £6
Nail tattoos, Superdrug £2
Cath Kidson illustrated bag, Asos £28

Brooch set, Debenhams £6
Crown T-shirt, Debenhams £20
Clutch with buttons, Next £28
Big Ben necklace, Accessorize £6

Eat scones, drink Pimms and be merry!
Enjoy the long Weekend!

Trend: Sports Lux

The country is buzzing with Olympic news and images of the athletes, and with Stella McCartney designing the Team GB kit, it's only right that fashion and sports collide to make a trend - Sports Lux is born. 

This trend is sportswear mixed with body con pieces, with some pastels, some metallics and a dash of neon.  Also expect to see cut out and mesh detailing.  It's a real mix with a sporty look, but stlyed right can look amazing! In my opinion Sports lux needs to be worn head to toe to work, so if you're going to wear it you really have to go for it!

Here are some key pieces to start you off:
