Summer Stylin


Bright Colours
Don’t be afraid of colours! I remember a time when everyone was wearing colours like red, black, white etc. Its summer time baby and it’s time to bring the colours out.....orange, yellow, green, purple, blue!! T’would be helpful to save the harder-to-wear colors (yellow and orange) for footwear and handbags.




Gladiators
Gladiator sandals take center stage when you wear them, so choose something simple and plain to pair them with. Just because I loveeeeeee heels so much had to put up pic’s of them with heels. Aren’t they GORGEOUS!! I mean flats r cool and all but who on earth would pick flats when there r heels.....(no response needed!! All u flat lovers!!)


Floral Prints
Forget about the tender, ditsy prints of the past years that sometimes made u look like one of the characters of little house on the Prairie. The new floral is strong, modern and sometimes eye-popping! Skirts, tops, bags and even shoes are blooming in big floral prints.






Tribal
Everyone’s tryna get African on us...next thing we know we’ll b seeing Paris Hilton rocking an Ankara dress! This new tribal trend consists of strong, graphic prints(black and white) combined with warm, earthy tones (browns, deep reds and oranges)





Maxi Dresses
The dresses are getting longer thank God! What a refreshing change. These dresses are mostly strapless or spaghetti straps and bold florals. These dresses may be trendy but are not universally flattering!








Coloured Sunglasses
Sunglasses were huge in the Eighties, and they're making a comeback! Forget your oversized bug glasses or the aviator styles sunnies, this summer, its square frames, plastic and colour all the way!



AND TO END THIS EDITION OF SUMMER STYLIN HERES MY PIC OF THE DAY

He or she must be thinkin theyre cool or sumthin LOL
