After watching a couple of TV shows that were fashion heavy, I have come to the conclusion that I think I know what the trending items are for Spring/Summer 2014 will be. There are three main areas that have been seen on catwalks and to be honest, I'm kinda liking these trends. I'm hoping Britain gives me some support in the weather department and that I will be aided with some sun so I can try these out. (But lets face it, I'm not expecting much lol).
1. Pastel Accessories.
I absolutely love pastel. I think that it is the mother of showing your appreciation for summer and it has showed its zeal by being featured on many a catwalk. But it's not pastel coloured clothing that will be trending, it's accessories from what I have researched. Rather than drowning yourself in shades of baby pink and blue, a pastel coloured accessory can be the key item that allows your outfit to make a statement. (Apologies for the excessive amounts of pink. I'm a sucker for pink)

2. Cropped Tops
Now I think we can all agree that as the weather gets hot, people just wanna show a little bit of skin. Especially those who have been putting in work over the cold months to achieve beach body perfection. So I could totally understand why crop tops made the cut. (No pun intended). The exposing of the midriff seems to be all the rage. There have definitely been a cute array of style of crop top that have seen the light. Some sport a slight tomboyish style and others are fun and flirty.

3. Pop Art
This trend and fashion go together like me and sun. It's like the perfect combination since fashion is basically wearable art. I feel that incorporating Pop Art with clothing allows designer to have fun. It also gives the wearer a pass to wear a kaleidoscope of colours without being deemed as crazy. One can communicate with clothing, and this trend adds an enjoyable twist to non verbal communication.

I say give these a try. Some, depending on how outgoing you are with your style, are easier to pull off than others.
See you again on my next blog post!
