New season…it’s like a breath of fresh air isn’t it?

Now as January and Feb are those quieter months where you’re essentially recovering from Christmas & New year and settling back into the swing of things this is THE perfect time to get ready for new season styling.

All the mags & trend reports (fashion bibles!) are out, you’re probably tired of (dare we say it…black!) and also feeling a bit BLAH so it really is time to start making room for pale wash colour collections-think of Rainbow drops and Bon-Bon sweets from your childhood. Deco details, Fifties USA (we heart Prada’s heart print already!) Blooming Blooms vs Sport Revolution, Africana & Heritage Paisley.

 NOW we know that all sounds a bit much to take in so girls I’ve got my “Stepping into Spring” list ready below. So slip out of those Onesies, switch those slippers for some mega mules, put your hair in a pony & get ready.

 1)      You’ve probably got some lovely new bits from Christmas and you are sure to be getting some even newer bits for Spring so what better time to for a clearout. WAIT! Don’t go clearout crazy and throw everything. Be precise. Have you worn it in the last six months? Is ticking any of this seasons trend list? (refer to your fashion bible) if your answer is “no” bag it up.

2)      Be Sale Savvy. Despite it being a winter sale you can almost definitely find things in the sale now that can be fashion forward come spring. For example from us we have:

Girlish embroidery? Yes

Satin? Yes

Soft spring shade? Yes

 3)      Set aside scissor time. A new year, a new season a new haircut! You’ll feel instantly fab and with being sale savvy those pennies saved can go towards your hair therapy!

4)      Make your look work for you. Pick out your favourite looks from the runway and adapt them for you. Loving that flower power peplum dress but cant quite do the school run in it? Pick a pretty flowerbud print girlish dress. Flirt with fifties and team a printed blouse with pedal pusher denim and insert Africana inspiration into your accessories.

 So let’s get spring ready girls-its waiting for us!
