Spring Summer 2011 Trends.......Alessia's likes and dislikes.

Hello Fashion Lovers,

Lately I have been loving checking every possible magazine, website and also videos on this season trends not only in clothes but also in accessories and makeup. Obviously, not every trend is for everyone as taste and also personal style will influence what trends one will like. In this post I am going to list the current season trends I am loving, those I am looking forward to try and finally and in this case least those trends I cannot stand. So let's get started!

SPRING TRENDS I AM CURRENTLY LOVING:

1. Layering feminine flowy blouses under blazers, jackets and also cardigans;
2. Injecting white in my outfits (white is the colour most associated with summer and I am really craving the next season);
3. Brightening up outfits with colourful shoes and accessories;
4. Cinching my waist with thin belts in unordinary ways;
5. Having fun with handbags rather than being too matchy matchy;
6. Rolling up jackets' sleeves as it can make an outfit more casual and simultaneously very chic;
7. Wearing lots of bracelets;
8. Wearing pieces which have some unique detail like print, pattern in order to make the outfit more interesting;
9. Having fun with clothes in general after such a long and boring winter.

SS TRENDS I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY:

1. Colour blocking;
2. Pastels with feminine touches to achieve a dreamy look;
3. Florals mixed with solids not to overdo it;
4. Metallics paired with neutral shades and soft materials;
5. Rompers and playsuits;
6. Lady like vintage handbags as well as bright clutches;
7. Big watches especially in rose gold, ideal for the warmer months;
8. Introducing extra feminine details in my outfits such as lace and flowy blouses;
9. Brown, tan and stone heel gladiator sandals;
10. Nautical stripes paired with brights.

TRENDS I AM NOT INTO:

1. Denim on Denim ( when you wear more than one denim item);
2. Harem pants (although I have never tried these I am not really inspired by them);
3. Exposing stomach (I feel this trend can make you look cheap and totally tasteless);
4. Fringes and camel (As these recall a country cowgirl style which I really cannot stand plus we have seen camel throughout winter);
5. Punk/Gipsy/Rocker style (I don't see myself sporting out any of these styles but neither do I like exagerating with mixing patterns, fabrics and colours).

I hope you find this post interesting and I also encourage you to find out which trends you like and try them out as there is no better time to have fun with your outfits than in Spring when the weather is warm yet cool enough to enjoy it!

Feel FAB.
