Springs sprung

Springs here summers only round the corner, which means ditching the layers and wellies and invest in clothes made from not much material. So now its the season for open back dresses, short shorts, caramel tones, sunkissed skin and beach hair. Turquoise and silver jewellery is going to be my buy list for spring.

Top of the Crops

Crop tops! I love them.. in the store. But after the purchase its a bit of a struggle to actually do something with them. Living in england they are very hard to pull off and looking online a suprising amount of people think they should be avoided like the plague! But im determined to stop mine becoming dusters so there a few tips i hope will help. Firstly i feel you should have a toned stomach (no pain no gain), need to not catch pneumonia and style it to look good. Heres a few tips of how you can wear them:

1) Over a vest/ mesh top

2) Over a bodycon/boobtubed dress

3) With high-waisted jeans/skirt/shorts

4) Layered with a cardigan/shirt

5) Simply wait till your on holiday

Baggy is better...

Tight jeans hell to the yeah tight tops just no (well not always no)! Its knowing when to wear what and how, obviously easier said than done. Baggy jumpers are deffinitly better, baggy cardigans and baggy tops that you can just wear tights with. Ive found its easier to get bigger sizes, certainly warmer and of course looks much better. You dont even have to buy the items if you've got a beer bellied dad just raid his wardrobe or if your a true bargain hunter stop by your local charity shop.

The fish tail plait

Theres a new hair trend going around that looks amazing and after alot of google-ing I found out its called a fish tail plait. Its a look that can be worn messy or neat either way it looks good. I didnt have the foggiest how to do these until I youtubed it so i'm going to add the best video i found aswell.

Customize it up

Levi denim shorts are an item pretty much anyone could style well, but its the customized levis that are looking the best right now. From cutting and shredding the bottom of the shorts to bleaching and dying them you could do anything you could possibly think of doing (within reason) and they would still look good. My personal favourites are the ones with studs and metal gems attached to them, the more worn in the look the better!

fashion religion

A new trend thats sweeping the well styled girls everywhere are crosses. In the forms of double-fingered rings, necklaces and even tattoos. What the cross represents i have no idea and doubt anyone really puts all that much thought into it, but they sure look good.

Back-packs are back!

A new trend from the past is back. Rucksacks! But not power-rangers or tinkerbell  designs like when we was young. Theres many different styles depending on the type of look /person that you are. My personal favourite are the black or brown leather ones, but theres also canvas ones and tapestry bohiemian looking ones which seem to be the most popular. Not only do they look good but there quite convieniant if, like me, you take out more than your arms can handle.

Free People: How To Dip Dye

....The Hair Dare.....

The new trend and personal love of mine is dip-dying hair. But its a look not everyone can pull off or easily achieve as i found out. The style is the ends of preferably long hair, dyed a bright colour such as pink or blue, creating a hippy kind of look.  If you are not a peroxide barbie it is done by firstly bleaching the ends of your hair (risky) then dying over it with your chosen colour. But it doesn't always work out as planned! My hair is naturally blonde but dyed brown so i had to bleach my already dead ends. i then dyed over it a aquamarine colour (or so it said on the tin) unfortunately that's not how it turned out. My hair became half brown half muddy green colour not really the look i was going for!! But its definitely something i will keep trying to achieve this funky look.
