Summer 2011 Key Fashion Trend: White on White

White on White is a new trend for recent times but seems to be the perfect contrast this season's colourful clothes. It's all about being white and crisp looking this season. Look out for the 'LWD'- the little white dress; pure, elegant and chic. Whites this season are not feminine and girly in anyway; it's all clean cuts and functional. It almost fits into the minimal trend from a couple of seasons ago. Accessorizing with this look should be kept to a minimum; perhaps some killer heels to enhance a sharp look, a skinny belt or a clutch.
Here are some of my runway favourites...

Summer 2011 Key Fashion Trend: Maxi Skirts

As spring begins with pretty flowers (particularly daffodils) and patches of sunshine, a new season begins in the world of fashion.

MAXI SKIRTS are a huge trend this summer! Last year, Maxi dresses and skirts were slowly becoming popular but this year the focus is on long and beautiful Maxi Skirts. I Especially LOVE the beautiful long chiffon and light material skirts which look elegant and graceful. This summer, looking feminine and girly is very much the key to dressing.


Here are some the maxi skirts by designers I'm loving;
Alberta Ferreti, Chloe and Lavin (from left)
Light Patterned, Pleated and Simply Flowy; they come in all different styles this season. My Favourite; definitely the Lanvin; extravagant and Spanish-looking.

Here are some of my high-street favourites; 
I know, I know, they kind of look all the same....but I have a weakness for chiffon material !!
