Spring Trends.

As promised in my last update, I am bringing you a sneak peek at some of the up and coming trends for Spring. I have already seen Spring looks trickling into the shops and there are a few trends that seem to be popular for Spring;

• The Gypsy / Bohemian
  
• The 70's hippy chick
  
• Softly Tailored
  
• The Safari
  
• Denim
  

Here are my picks from what I have seen in the shops. Over the next few weeks I'll revisit these themes and throw some outfits together so you know how to style them.

The Gypsy/Bohemian - Think billowing tops, flowing material, 'broderie anglaise' fabrics, (which is cut-out lace detailing), as well as off the shoulder dresses/tops.  All Country Road- Broderie panel blouse $109.00, Bandeau stripe shirt $149.00 and Broderie circle skirt $199.00.

Revisit the 70s with wide leg trousers / flares, A-line mini-skirts, suede, smock tops, fringing and maxi dresses.  Witchery Nautique pant $169.90, French Connection Woodstock stitch shirt AU$129.95 and Seed Heritage Resort crepe tassle skirt AU$149.95.

For a less structured take on the 9-5 office attire think soft draping or wrapping detail in tailoring in navy, creams and pastel colours.

The safari look - khaki colours, animal prints and creams and tan.
Decjuba Pheobe stripe dress $109.95, Forever New Luella wrap front cami top AU$59.99, Seed Heritage Cross over harem AU$79.95.

Denim - denim is everywhere, flared jeans, denim dresses, the denim shirt, you cant go wrong with denim this Spring.
Witchery denim shirt dress $169.90, Witchery denim crop top $109.90, Dotti patch pocket flare jean $59.99.

Shoes/Accessories
Spring/Summer shoes are all about the gladiator or anything with strappy detailing, alternatively the espadrille has been dressed up! For heels go for platforms or wedges. Fringing is also big news on shoes, and bags. Talking bags, the bucket shape is what you want to be carrying.
