Cute, plastic and jelly-like!

Crocs Prima in Lavender
I’m sure you’ve all heard of Crocs, and when you think of them, you automatically think of those big clompy clog-type ones which seemed to come and go? It can’t be just me, can it?? Well, Crocs have lots of varients, but my fave has to be the Prima shoe, which is styled on the ballerina styley flats which almost everyone seems to have a pair of! When I picked a pair of these up, I couldn’t believe how light they were and they’re slim fitting too. They’re slip-resistant, and even resistant to stinky tootsies…hehe! But seriously, I love these shoes, they’re unbelievably comfortable and really cheap at around £17 too.

If you’re into your flats, and fancy a slight change, definitely take a look at the Prima shoes from Crocs. They’re also available in a whole rainbow of colours…

Which Style? Feminine or Masculine?

There are two hot trends at the moment - flirty feminine and manly masculine…the dilemma is which one to go for! Obviously these trends will suit some better than others, and I bet you’re thinking you’d definitely opt for the feminine look, but you could add a little masculinity to your style without it being too OTT.

Designers such as Oscar De La Renta and Nina Ricci have come up with some beautiful feminine and floaty creations for their Spring/Summer 2008 collections…

Many designers have also incorporated a masculine style into their Spring/Summer 2008 collections; see below for Yves Castaldi and Lanvin designs.

Of course we don’t all have enough pennies to spend on these super-sophisticated catwalk creations, so I’ve found a few items that may well be in your budget -

Let’s go for feminine first, this uber-cute bracelet (£8) and white shirt dress (£35) are extremely sweet…avaiable from www.missselfridge.com

Underwear extravaganza!

Elle Macpherson Dentelle Padded BraA while ago, I discovered figleaves.com; this site has the most amazing selection of men and women’s underwear, and delivery is only £2 and it even has free returns! I’ve ordered various items of lingerie from the site before and every item has been brilliant…

I’ve been browsing the site today, and I think the lingerie below is the best on the site -
The Elle Macpherson Intimates range is gorgeous, one of the prettiest is the Dentelle padded and underwired bra…the jet rose colour is my fave!
Mimi Holliday braThere is also the Mimi Holliday range which is pure extravagance for all those who love lingerie…see the black satin and peach lace plunge bra from the range.

And finally, the Lepel brand from the site is extremely sweet, and great value for money for those who can’t afford the most expensive lingerie..Lepel braVisit www.figleaves.com here

 

So..what’s in right now?

You may be asking yourself, ‘What can I wear in this horrible, cold and grey weather?!’ No one can be inspired by the British winter weather, and after Christmas, most of us carry a little bit of extra weight due to those few choccies you just couldn’t refuse - ‘After all, it is Christmas!’…

Well I’m here to tell you what’s in right now, and hopefully cheer those of you fed up with those miserable winter blues! Here’s a list of some spring essentials…

Japanese fashion

Japanese Gothic LolitaI don’t know about you, but I love the quirkiness of the fashions in Japan. There is a massive following for street fashion in Osaka and Tokyo. Japanese street fashion includes everything from leg-warmers and over-knee argyle socks to corsets and tutus….

The Japanese beauty accessories are also ever so cute. They sell all sorts on japanese fashion websites, such as portable eyelash curlers, eyebrow combs, eye jelly (cream eye shadow to you and me!), and all in gorgeous packaging. Japanese girls with an eye for trends, always seem to keep it girly and sweet, whilst also being somewhat sexy I think!… Read more »
