What to wear - SS13

I thought I would put together some of my favourite runway looks from SS13, but looks which are wearable and what I think the high street will translate into something affordable. I could be completely wrong but these are the looks i'll be taking inspiration from.

Iridescent fabrics is something i'm looking forward to, the satins and the lame. It's not as in your face as glitter and sequins but it's still brings an ooze of glamour to your outfit.

Oversized and structural silhouettes are key, after the cocoon shape taking trend this winter the oversized look is here to stay. With big sleeves or big hips its important to contrast your piece with a perfectly fitting opposition.

Leather isn't going anywhere next season and I hope the pulled apart look translates to the high street.

White is always sported during the summer and the clean palette is refreshed with simple silhouettes, however it is easy to get dirty. 

What's clear next season is rounded off shoulders and arms, slightly masculine but it works well in soft colours to balance out the look.

Splurge, Spend or Save - Crazy legs

Summer is approaching and the sun is starting to show, with that comes colourful clothing. This seasons look is all about the trouser, in bright colours, patterns and prints. I'm all for it and have already bought myself a pair of black and white striped trousers (which you can see in my Paris trip) and some of the most crazy leggings you can imagine. Definitely invest in a pair as they add a little excitment and creativeness to you're look, whether you choose to be bold or stay chic it's up to you!

A bold choice, the print is unique and delicious so don't be scared when wearing these. The black however tones it down a tad.

I absolutely adore paisley, one of my all time favourite prints and J.W. Anderson embraces it in his S/S collection.

So these may be leggings but they are phenomenal, the seaweed print and colour is exceptionally beautiful.

I'm not the biggest fan of pink, but in this shade and this cut they are rather dashing.

The 'Mum' jeans are coming back into fashion, and Mr Holland does a great pair in a peach bleach.

The H&M Marni collab is out today and I'm in love with these pair of luxurious trousers, buy the matching top if you can. I know i'll be crying because i'm a poor pauper.

These have a 60's feel to me, with the pink metallic sheen and dogtooth print, it's not too girly if worn with some killer black pointy heels.
