White is the New Black

Never underestimate the power of all white. This season the simple colour is bringing a modern and fresh twist to your look and with the weather improving there's no better way to show off your tan. Whether you fancy a sleek white suit or just a slick of white polish, there is something for everyone to try.

The Outfit says it all...

From Kenzo to Alexander Wang, we've seen slogan tees and crew necks adorn the catwalk and dominate the street style scene. Ok so maybe some can be a bit tacky but choose wisely and you will really stand out from the crowd (in a good way I promise).  There are some great Wildfox pieces if you want something girly for the summer or if you want something cooler then I love the Kenzo and the Brian Litchenberg tees. There is also no need to splash out because you can get some great slogan pieces on the high street as well as from the big name brands. Think Cara Delevingne, House of Holland and shouty catchphrases , sorry for sounding over dramatic but these are wardrobe must haves for the coming season.

Translating Catwalk Looks into your Everyday Wardrobe

So basically I think that Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs and Donna Karan are all geniuses when it comes to creating eye catching pieces for the catwalk but most of the time I would not go about my daily duties wearing catwalk attire (think Chanel head to toe tweed avec blue eyeshadow). I always try to stick to the simple rule,  'Do I feel comfortable in this?' and I also have to remind myself that just because it is designer, doesn't mean it's nice. Sometimes buying an outrageous piece pays off but most of the time it will hang in the wardrobe until I actually pluck up enough courage to wear it. So this is basically a waste of money when I could be incorporating the latest styles into outfits suitable for the everyday. I've been scouring the internet to see if I could find more wearable clothes and accessories that had elements of the 2014 catwalk in them and here's what I found...enjoy!
