Go Nude This Spring!

Don’t panic! We’re not suggesting you roam around in your birthday suit, rather that you embrace the new nude tones for the new season.

Donna Karan, Givenchy and Burberry all showed a plethora of nude shades on the catwalk and as ever, the most fashionable of celebrities have already umped on the flesh tone bandwagon.

Penelope Cruz chose a gorgeous figure-hugging Armani Prive dress for the Italian premiere of Nine, while Drew chose a dramatic dress from Atelier Versace for The Golden Globes. And it’s not just big Hollywood stars who have embraced this trend – Cheryl Cole stepped out looking stunning at a recent German music award show in a stunning Maz Azria dress.

Don’t worry if you haven’t got a spare £4,000 lying around (the cost of Cheryl’s dress apparently), as the high street is being quick to interpret this trend and has already started producing some gorgeous nude delights.

We’ve picked three of our favourites around at the moment, and as this is a trend that is sure to be a super summer hit, we recommend you invest now. Wear a nude coloured dress with black tights or team a flesh-toned jacket with faded skinnies – this is one look that will take you to and beyond the summer months with ease.

L-R: Biker Jacket, £45, Miss Selfridge; Dress, £110, Reiss; Bodycon Skirt, £22, Topshop

Go Dotty For Spots!

Sometimes a trend comes out of nowhere and hits you like a wild pack of shoppers going mad for the latest H&M collaboration. After wandering around the shops the other day, we were hit with a vision of spots! From dresses to shoes, bags to skirts, it seems the high street has gone dotty for spots – and now, so have we.

For starters, the spot print conjures up all things fun and spring-like – things that are both much needed in our lives and wardrobes at the moment. They also have a fabulous retro feel to them – Topshop’s spotty shorts (below) definitely have that pin-up appeal – which is a nice counteraction to all that ‘80s garb on the rails at the moment.

L-R: Blazer, £50, Miss Selfridge; Skirt, £12, New Look; Dress, £32, Dorothy Perkins; Shorts, £35, Topshop; Purse, £4.50, Accessorize

Spots will also continue to be big throughout the spring and summer, when we’ll be throwing our spotty blazer over a striped nautical style dress for that real taste of true British summer style.

Get stocking up on your spotty prints now – this is one spot we certainly don’t mind having!

Hot or Not? Uber Hair Accessories

Since the models at the Louis Vuitton Autumn/Winter 2009 catwalk show appeared wearing bunny ears, hair accessories have become oversized. It wasn’t a huge surprise. The last few years have seen a rise in all things oversize – from sunglasses to bags – but these were much easier looks to carry off.

Hair accessories have been popular for a while now with the Blair Waldorf Gossip Girl look being seen sported on many a high street. Now, apart from being able to buy these somewhat tame alice bands, the high street has gone crazy for uber-hair accessories – from bunny ears to huge bows.

L-R: Red Velvet Bow Headband, £6, Miss Selfridge; Nude Bunny Ears, £18, Topshop; Crazy Flora Catwalk Alice Band, £12, Accessorize

This is definitely not a look for the shy and retiring type, however, we think they can definitely add a touch of uniqueness to a boring outfit. Imagine the Topshop bunny ears, above, worn with a simple black playsuit? Or the red bow teamed with a casual blazer and skinny jeans combo? This is one trend we love!

But it’s over to you? What do you think of this latest craze – is it hot? Or most certainly not?  Leave your comments now.

Hot or Not? Jeggings

There’s one so-called fashionable item that we’ve got to call to task – jeggings. Part jean, part legging nearly all of the top high street stores stock this peculiar fashion item. More structure than a legging, but not as flattering as a pair of jeans, they also seem to be on all you fashion lovers.

Now we have seen some people rock this look, but we’ve also seen a lot of unflattering jeggings out there. Unless you’re stick thin with legs to die for, we think this is one trend to avoid – but what do you think? Are jeggings your thing? Or do you think they should be consigned to the fashion bin?
