Bold Colour High Street Style

The Fabulous tones of Red, Raspberry, Cobalt and Cornflower Blues, Yellow, Orange, Coral, Turquoise and Green are everywhere right now. As long as it's bold and in your face it fits this trend.

For those of us who aren't lucky enough to be earning extortionate amounts of money on a regular basis, ie the rest of the world here's a Bold Colour from where we might be able to afford it. Zara, I think is possibly one of the best places on the high street to get a truly high fashion look at a fraction of the price. Zara claim that their clothes from design to shop floor in under 3 weeks, which explains such a high turnover of styles and allows us mere mortals to stock up our closet with the on trend fashion pieces from one season to the next.

So for this trend it all depends on a person's personal taste whether to go all out with the trend and wear it all together ie colour blocking (the method by which you combine bold colours in either complimentary or clashing tones to make a strong and bold statement)

or chop and change your favourite jeans and white t combo with just a splash of colour in a jacket or accessory.

I swear I could have sat at this all day trying to figure out the best way to showcase these gorgeous pieces (wait i did sit here all day) but this is simple to the point and gives a good example of what is out there. There is so much more and would have taken days to put it all in.
I will put up a post with how to wear this style and put together an outfit with an additional post of colour blocking these pieces. I also have a few other ideas up my sleeve on future posts on this trend such as

Summer Denim

So as the weather the past couple of days has me dreaming of warm summer evenings, the smell of bbq in the air with my feet up and a cocktail in my hand. so maybe a few of those thoughts are wishful thinking but it has got me excited about summer fashion. i am not a lover of the cold and the winter especially due to the fact that (a) i don't drive and walking everywhere in the freezing cold and p***ing cold rain pushing a buggy is horrible and (b) layers add bulk and to an already bulky frame i don't need any more. from the moment the first leaf falls from the trees in autumn i am already longing for summer to come visit again.

So with summer approaching thoughts of florals and frayed denim are popping into my head. as with high street and high end fashion denim is a huge trend this season. this season denim is coming in all shapes and forms away from the trusty indigo skinny from the jbrand jeans in major summer brights

to the whole outfit being denim from MIU MIU

you may want to go way craazy and do something fashionista yourself and im all for individual style by im stlightly more demure and i have to dress in babyproof style :) so for me my most important styles to rock for spring and summer are the denim jacket, the denim shirt and the denim cropped waistcoat and i will be wearing them all this summer with pretty floral dresses, prom style skirts and and ditsy printed vests and very possibly the old favourite the skinny black jeans.
