My high street shop of the week: Republic

Sports luxe is going to big this season. You don't have to be sporty to wear this trend, just throw on a sweatshirt, pop on some trainers and some baggy trousers or shorts. The above mood board contains: (from top left) 1. Vero Moda L- sweater £16.00 2. Soul cal Love T shirt £16.00 3. Zephyr rangers cap £25.00 4. Crafted Hi top wedge trainers £45.00 5.

My favourite trend hitting the stores for spring has to be pastels. All winter i have been wearing very dark colours which definitely affects my mood. I cannot wait to fill my wardrobe with a splash of sunshine. The above mood board contains two of my all time favourite colours, baby blue and pastel pink. (From left): 1. Pink Converse £45 /  2.

My spring 2013 wish list ♥

Hello,

With the shops starting to release their spring/ summer collections, i thought I'd make a spring wish list/ inspiration post. I am really getting bored of winter now and can't wait to be able to get out side without wearing about five layers of clothing. However spring will still require some layering such as a light weight jacket, cardigan, jumper or tights.

The spring/ summer 2013 fashion shows contained so many new exciting trends for this year. The looks to choose from include pastels, neon's, metallics, graphic patterns, monochrome or cropped. The best being the return of the 90's.

Ive added some of these looks below for you to ooh and arr over. ★
