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.

Steal Her Style: Taylor Swift

I decided to do a kind of 'style file' on Taylor Swift because the warmer weather will be coming soon, & I think Taylor's summer style always looks pretty & effortless.

You can't go wrong with a pretty patterned summer dress, ballet pumps and a statement necklace.
