Sometimes when the weather is absolutely horrible and depressing I open up my closet, sit in it for awhile and then pick out the most brightest or boldest item I have.

Something so different to the weather outside just to lift up the mood a little.

The Star of today’s post is a very summery,very fresh, batwing/kimono-sleeve Shirt.

I Picked up this beauty when my friend from Melbourne was down to visit.

We were casually having dinner at Darling Harbour when the sight of these beautiful Hibiscus printed tops and skirts captured our attention (and of course it was an impulse buy).

Now Every time I look at it I think of her and how we had such a great catch up in such a short amount of time ! ❤ you Bianca

Orange and white hibiscus flowers printed on a peach base. Perfect for Spring/Summer

For those of you who are enjoying Spring/Summer now (unlike us) a floral printed shirt like this is definitely a must-have !

Two reasons – 1 is that you can dress it up and make it very day to night as you can wear it buttoned up with a statement necklace – something gold and chunky.

2 is that you can unbutton it like in the picture, for an everyday casual look.

Just add a plain camisole underneath and a loose single pendant necklace.

If it gets a little chilli you can even add a brown scarf.

or even a lightweight metallic thread one.

Voila ! All set for the day ahead !

For accessories, as mentioned you can play with the orange, pinks, ivory browns and white palette’s – always fun to play with pastels. As well as mixing it up with little splashes of gold or antique gold.

Something new-vintage would look great with this like a small boxy bag, any shade of brown leather or like I have added a nice orange off-the-shoulder bag.

Get on-trend for 2013 !

While high fashion may do well on the start of year catwalks, predicting which will be the key looks to filter down to the high street can be difficult. Surprisingly, popular looks from recent seasons include the Peplum, which exploded onto the high street in 2011 and has not lost any momentum as we passed through 2012. In terms of shoes, creepers and the more elegant creeper style platforms have been massive on the streets as fashion continues to reclaim the sixties via the nineties.

oo la la ! We LOVE peplum !

So what’s going to be big this year?

Let’s find out what the key predictions are for 2013:

Paisley might be the only print to be seen in for 2013. Try a paisley-print cotton sundress for when the weather warms up, or a slick shirt teamed with mannish trousers to work two trends at once.

Don’t panic: if paisley isn’t your thing, you can choose between geometric or floral prints to stay on trend. Fashion icons should be Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton (as well as the women of Mad Men) and look out for citrus colour prints for the ultimate homage to sixties fashion.

Floor-length gowns are going to be big this year and creating an elegant silhouette is going to be key. This season’s dresses have to go all the way down to the ground. Look out for kimono-style gowns for the ultimate in opulence.

Oh my Goth! Goth continues to be influential this year but don’t let it get you down. Colours are black and white, obviously, and choose leather to maximise the 50 Shades of Grey influence.

Let’s go on a space odyssey as all things futuristic and sci-fi enter our collective fashion consciousness. Think metallic, still trending from 2012,Ziggy Stardust, glitter, and try some silver shades for you footwear.
