Top five SS 2012 trends

By Andrea Petrou on January 13th, 2012

You may not feel it, but spring is most definitely on its way, at least on the highstreet anyway. This season there’s a huge range of styles to choose from and we can’t wait until the frost thaws and rain goes, so we can begin to channel these looks.

The first trend we can’t wait to get into is the 20s flapper look, which has been given a summer make over. Gone are the feathers seen in AW 2011 and in come the sequins, drop waisted dresses and light fabrics, which really emulate this era.

If you’re a girly girl then the cute and sweet Sugar Doll look is also a must-have trend. Florals and girly colours fashioned into lace and simple cut frocks make up this style for the SS 2012 and was hot on the Louis Vuitton catwalk, while pastels also compliment this trend.

Those who like to show their casual side will also love the glam sports trend. Shown by Victoria Beckham, amongst others, this smart take on the sporty look – think sleek trackies, metallic vests and cute trainers – is great for those chilling out days.

See the gallery below for our top five trends.

Celebrity and designer AW Trends: Feathered dresses as seen on Tulisa, Sarah Jessica, Blake Lively and more

By Andrea Petrou on December 1st, 2011

Celebrities are channelling the feather trend in their bucket loads this season.

Taking inspiration from designers such as Chanel and Giambattista Valli, A listers such as Tulisa, Blake Lively and Sarah Jessica Parker are opting for frocks in this birdy fabric, which also gives a strong nod to the 20s flapper vintage trend.

And of course the highstreet is full of these feathered frocks.

Copy Tulisa’s look and go for a dress with a feathered skirt and PVC top – buy the replica from Warehouse – or give a nod to the bridal look with a white feathered skirt and satin top like Sarah Jessica Parker at the British Fashion Awards.
If you want to go all out then follow Olivia Palermo who showed how to wear feathers all over, but be careful, too many and you could end up looking more Big Bird than stylish sista.

See the gallery below for celebrity inspiration and keep reading to see our top five feather frock picks for the Christmas party season.
