Trend of the Month - Print it Out!

This is a bit of an obvious one for Spring/Summer '14.. But PRINTS!

Printed clothes, shoes, hats, bags etc etc! I have always been known to be quite out there with the prints, but this can be a good and bad thing as not many of my clothes go together cause it's like an overload of prints however keeps my wardrobe a little exciting. Anyway... Spring/Summer '14 this year is all about injecting some creativity and fun into your wardrobe! S/S '14 runways has brought us a huge range of new prints coming in trend for this season, and fortunately enough, retailers have recognised this trend and are all on it, expressing different styles.

Missguided are a strong contender of prints, have a look at all the fabulous prints HERE!
It's time to experiment again, go all matching or if you're daring enough, mix up the prints and go against the 'no clashing' rule! Again, it's another trend that can be worn chilled out or crazily, match the prints to your personal style. Prints are just a no brainer for this season, and even if you call yourself a 'plain Jane', don't be afraid to try out some subtle prints, to just accessorize your 'plain' outfits. 



So after browsing around, I have chosen my top 3 prints for Spring/Summer '14.. obviously everybody will have different but here are mine:

1) Florals (obvious one but there are never-ending types of floral print and every year, there's always a new one out, to not be obvious, don't go for the obvious! SIMPLES. P.S - tropical florals are very in this season)
PRETTYLITTLETHING, check it out here!
Just a bit of 70's inspo, along with rose print and neon colours -
my top 3 from PLT's floral collection - all good prices too
 (you know me with my fussiness of clothing prices and bargains)
2) Tribal (always a winner for me)
RIVER ISLAND, have a look here!
Who can go wrong with African tribal print, River Island always
wins it when it comes to prints.. a tad pricey but aren't these bits cute?
3) Paisley (I am a boho chic fan, therefore, paisley is just a weakness for me when it comes to prints)
BOOHOO, browse around the bargains here!
so so many bargains available on boohoo.com! Too much choice of prints
and bargain buys, I recommend here for budget holiday shopping.
Experimenting is key to styling, in my opinion.. You have to give everything a chance and have fun with what you wear. I know some may not be as daring or confident as others, but you won't get anywhere if you don't try. This season, trends from vintage eras and even what we thought were trends when we were younger are all making a comeback, so I think this is the prime time to be as daring as you want to be with trends you were loving at the age of 14! From jelly shoes, to bucket hats to co-ordinates to sliders and more! Fashion is weird but not everybody has taken grasp of that, maybe this season it's time..
