Colour blocking has always been as big a spring/summer trend as it is a breath of fresh air after months of all those grey and black layers. Remarkably, whilst being one of the most dynamic trends around it still manages to be almost 100% fool proof in its styling criteria and with designers flooding the runways with colour this summer it is the perfect time to adopt colour-blocking into your summer outfit selection.

Since posting the blog on Caramel leather jackets last week, I have not been able to rid the thought of leather from my mind!

Miuccia Prada’s S/S 2007 collection is most likely responsible for fashion’s latest adoption of the turban.

When talking about clothes, a lot of people gasp at the mention of prints as if they are scary, intimidating and far too attention-grabbing to even consider wearing. Now although I have generalised this mentality, and there are people who - sometimes to a fault - are not scared at all (perhaps it is this sort of person that makes the others gasp at the thought in the first place), prints are something you should definitely not shy away from this season!
