Whats hot on the fashion blog circuit, well at the moment nothing huge. Leopard print feeds our need for sexualised integrity that penetrates from a carnal need to wear animal flesh. Color blocking allows for sculpted vibrancy, and floral prints in wispy fabrics brings out our feminine side. Oh, and nothing says " Hello Summer like the 'Stars and Stripes' ya'll" which is why we seem tfind more and more "National Pride" from people who are not how you say Nationals. Not that thats an issue of mine, I mean nothing says winter blues like a Russian fur. I prefer the whole make up scene at the moment as Fashion is becoming more and more uninteresting and repetative. No offence to those brilliant young designers out there with "Big Dreams, and starry eyes" I am sure you guys are gonna do it all.
This dress from Net-a-porter.com just says sex appeal with out being a tacky skank, it also does not say over thirty -Cougar -with -too- much- cleavage. The shape of this dress is classic without being to stuffy, and sexy without being to "Jersey". You see Leopard print does come in things that are not spandex and overstretched.
This is an other fab example of Leopard print, its truly gorgy as it should be its a YSL.
What can I say about color blocking, it pretty much speaks for itself. It is an easy fashion trend thats amazing when pulled off correctly and when put together wrong can mean the downfall of fashion freaks everywhere. It is actually the bain of my existence as being born a ginger pretty much limits me to colors that are not in a sense exciting as this trend is supposed to be. Do not fret as it is not the blind leading the ever blinder I do have a few ideas as to how to make it work for people who are not blighted by pumpkin colored hair. First one being, keep it simple pick two colors and always leave the cooler of the two on the bottom half of your body and the more vibrant one on top. Unless your like a size "6" and everything looks awesome on you, then hats off go for it, those of you who are not itsy bitsy trust me you'll want to keep it a bit darker on the bottom half. Cooler colors are better at hiding bulges and other unfortunates as I call them.

Both Skirts are from Topshop and are perfect for Color Blocking.
This top is from YSL, ( I Lurve YSL).
You can not have summer trend without glorious flower prints in flowy fabrics, here are a few I found that I personally love.
I know that with flower prints you have to be careful of "A" not looking like a couch, and "b" also not looking like a little girl in sunday school, but I enjoy the classic look, with a leather jacket and motorcycle boots you can toughen it up or with a pair of t-strap sandles hippy it up a bit. Depends on you really.
This one from Urban Outfitters is a bit sheer, creates a sexy line and slightly reminds me of Winona Ryder in "Reality Bites".
For some the nation that seems to scream beach break, hot pants, pool jumping is the USA, it comes as no surprise that the stars and stripes still reign as a leading summer trend.
Shorts from Topshop.
Tune in next time.......
