My Spring/Summer Fantasy

 
 

Ok I admit, I may have dropped off the blogging radar for a bit. In fact a lot. 
Now for those who are fashion aware and know who's been showing what, this past few weeks wont need to hear over and over again about the latest collections. Which is why i'm going to blog about my next big look for Spring/Summer 2012. 

Now you all know about my leather, spike and studded crush lately. Well I'm still pursuing it, but instead i'm looking into a different approach for summer. As you can see from the images above I have gained some inspiration for Givenchy's Spring/Summer 2012 Haute Couture collection. Now before you all start assuming   I'm mad enough to opt for a bull ring piercing and earrings bigger than an average suitcase, you'd be wrong. Instead I'm taking inspiration from the styles and colours used to interpret this seasons approach. Think bling but on a smaller scale. After all, this season is all about shimmering and standing out, so why not brighten up your outfit with something shiny? You dont even have to dress up! Think diamante drop earrings, embellished necklaces and studded sandels. All of course at a respectable, non-blinding and approach-able level. 

 
My next approach to fashion? Blue. Now I know you're thinking its Mary-Kate Olsen, everyone wants to be her blah blah blah. Well yes I do, but actually I'm talking about this blazer. Part of her and Ashley's 'Elizabeth & James' collection, I automatically fell in love with powder blue blazer, it just screams spring/summer and more importantly it's one of those essential holiday pieces you can wear before you go and after you arrive back with a glowing tan. 
Not to mention I can be a bit of a blazer whore, and as complimented by many of my friends blue is apparently my shade, so imagine what it's like to see a blazer like this? I have seen one very similar in River Island recently, looks like i'm going to have to start counting my penny's!

And finally, as expected by most of you. The Versace inspired print collection which is taking storm both the catwalk and high street. Designers such as Dolce and Gabbana launched their spring/summer collection with flirty, summery prints from tops to wedges. This particular colour and style has since then trickled down the fashion chain and into our stores. Lately I have been investing a couple of Versace inspired printed dresses. Now however, I've started to think about expanding my wardrobe for a summer update, (that and in a bid to find something decent for the summer heat). Thankfully, H&M have incorporated this particular colour and print into their latest collection, from dresses to shorts costing less then £20! Dont know about you guys, but i'm seriously considering these styles for my summer must have.
