Floral Fancies

It comes around every summer, but I still love floral prints. Here are my picks off the highstreet:

Tips for Wearing Floral Prints

• Use the same colour pallet as the floral print.
• If you're not ready to go head-to-toe in florals, why not wear a pair of floral shoes or a floral bag. Pick out your outfit colours from the floral print, like the picture above.
• Like with any print, it's practically impossible for a floral print not to look good with a solid neutral colour. Try teaming florals with black, white, grey, taupe, ivory and beige.
• For a more edgy look, pair a floaty floral top with denim shorts, tights and a cropped leather jacket.

White: Graphic vs. Girly

The abundance of all-white looks that graced the spring/summer 2012 catwalks can be considered a trend of two halves.

Celine, Diane Von Furstenberg, Jil Sander and Stella McCartney favoured precision-cut tailoring and crisp cotton for their take on the new minimalism, for a cool, clinical brilliance.

Whereas, Louis Vuitton, Giambattista Valli, Chloe and Dolce and Gabbana cast a pretty spell for spring with girlish white pieces in jumbo broderie anglaise, lace and the sheerest of silks.

Highstreet

Here's some examples of both trends on the highstreet:
