Sweet for Pastels

Sweet for Pastels
Pastel shades stood out at SS14 fashion shows as a key trend everyone should be incorporating into their outfits. Pale shades of pink , blue and purple were seen on the Burberry catwalk in gorgeous lace skirts, chiffon blouses and cosy coats. I decided to take this cute and girly look to create my own outfit inspired by this trend. I chose Topshop’s baby blue lace stitch crop top (another style which will be seen in shops this season!) and paired it with a Robert Rodriguez stretch leather pencil skirt in cream which complements the blue perfectly. To match with the skirt the cream sandals add some sophistication to the outfit and would look great with the pale pink Rochas leather satchel. Simply add a little bit of pastel accessories such as these bangles or some cute earrings and you will look like you’ve stepped off a spring and summer runway.

Pretty in Pink

Pretty in Pink
Usually I don’t tend to wear bright colours that are girly and noticeable, however with pastel and sherbet colours becoming very fashionable I’ve began to love these vibrant colours and a fave atm is this pastel pink. The outfit is bright but not OTT (I hope!) for those of us who don’t tend to wear these colours often. This wool and silk blend skirt is very feminine and pretty and works great with the casual, rolled sleeve pink crop as it looks more relaxed. Although pink is the theme, I think it is best to use sparingly and match it with a more neutral colour, this being the cream handbag and chunky sandal heels. The metal strap on the heels matches with the quirky round-frame metal sunnies and will look really cute with some frilly socks (another key popular trend!).
