Colour Block fashion
November 30, 2011
The hottest new trend for the winter season is colour blocking. To achieve this look, you will need to mix and match two or more different colours in colour blocks. It is advised that you do not mix more than three different colours for this look unless you are very young, in which case you might just pull it off.
Try teaming a pink top with a red skirt and yellow shoes for a funky party look which will definitely get you noticed on the dance floor. Tunics which are blocked into several colours and worn with jeans are another key way of wearing the colour block trend and are very versatile as they can be dressed up or down. If it’s a party outfit you’re looking for, you can’t beat a layered dress which combines 2 or 3 blocks of colour together for that winter party look.
Accessories are really key to the colour blocking look and the brighter the better. Yellows, oranges and blues are ideal and look great when mixed with pinks, reds, greens and blacks. The colour blocking look is bold and out there and you will have to be brave to try it out, but, once you do you won’t look back. The key is finding colours that suit you and sticking to them.
Fabulous Ruffles
November 30, 2011
One of the latest trends to hit the fashion world is gorgeous ruffle detailing. They are set to be huge this winter and all the catwalk models have been seen wearing them. They have featured heavily in many catwalk shows this year and we predict they will do big business this year. Ruffles can be worn in many different ways and can give a dramatic new look to your wardrobe. There are many different ways you can wear ruffles and they look great on all people of all ages, body shapes and styles.
One of the best looks you can achieve with ruffles is the romantic look which has echoes of the 1980’s new romantic style. You can achieve this look by wearing a simple white blouse with ruffle detail on the lapels and collar. You should team this with tailored black trousers and smoky eye make up for a perfect romantic look, ideal for lunch with the girls.
Want a flirty, fun look? Ruffles are great for creating a flirty feminine look with ease. Opt for a cute floral jumpsuit with ruffle detail, teamed with bold sandals and light make up for a fresh winter look.
For a sexy evening look, you can’t beat a sexy bandeau dress complete with ruffled detail and a sexy cinched in waist. Wear with killer heels and silver jewellery for the perfect night on the town outfit.

We only had a couple of days of sun this year so if you didn’t get your maxi dress out of the wardrobe then it’s time to dust off the cobwebs. The maxi dress was very popular last summer, and, it is perfect for those winter parties. It is probably the ultimate item of clothing for the summer time and can be worn in so many different ways that it is impossible to get bored with it.
The maxi dress is a firm favourite with celebrities In LA during the summer months and Nicole Richie and Lauren Conrad seem to wear this trend all year round, well they do have the hot LA weather!, which much success. The good thing about a maxi is that it can be flattering for women of all shapes and sizes. Smaller women may be afraid to try the look for fear of getting swamped by the fabric, but, if they stick to a plain maxi with no pattern, they will look great as Sarah Jessica Parker has demonstrated. If your slightly bigger, go for big bold prints as you will carry them off with ease.
Wild Women

Animal print is one of those style trends that gets recycled so often that it is pretty much always in fashion and this winter season sees it return once again. Leopard print clothing, in particular, has always been very popular with top designers including Vivienne Westwood and DKNY and many of today’s designers have brought out new collections for the winter season which are heavily influenced by not only leopard print, but, zebra print, giraffe print and even snakeskin. This summer truly will be dominated by animal print clothing.
Animal prints are often used to give a more edgy rock chick look with stars including Kelly Osbourne and Courtney Love being big fans of the trend. Animal prints are very easy to wear and there are so many different ways you can incorporate the trend into your look. If you want to use animal print sparingly you could opt for animal print accessories such as zebra print sunglasses or a tiger print bracelet. If you are more daring, why not try an animal print dress for a night out clubbing? Lily Allen is often seen out in leopard print as she parties with friends. Crocodile effect is also going to be big this season and this trend works best when used with accessories such as bags or shoes.
