The weather has been absolutely disgusting, and I just can't wait for that day when the sun comes out at full beam, and all of us women living in London can succesfully pull off a cleavage without freezing to death. Kudos to those English women who can wear little to nothing on a night out... Kudos!
I am not English. I happen to be a Mexican living in England. That is equal to having a tropical fish in the Arctic sea. I hate the cold, I always will, that is why it cheers me up to start thinking about warmer days.
This year spring is full of colour, specially when it comes to fashion trends. The catwalk has offered (once again) a 70s revival. I hope everyone is conscious that from now on it will all be 'revivals', there is nothing new to come, unless designers decide to start making us wear trousers in our heads.
However, the colour boom is hitting hard, and everywhere. From high street to haute couture, designers and trend setters have decided to go crazy for colour.
Some of my favourite pieces have to be:
1. Lanvin orange flats.
Not only they are gorgeous and comfortable, the orange shade is extremely popular right now, plus they can be worn with just a pair of jeans and a white shirt and they will complete the look with their splash of orange!
Even though it is not bright, this bag is one of my key accessories for this season. The colour is very neautral, making it easy to wear with almost any combination. For a nice lunch out wear with a pair of killer heels in a skin tone, and pair it up with a nice necklace on a similar shade.
4. BFF topshop tshirt.
Every girl should have at least one tee of the seaso. It can have a picture of a cat, a phrase, a portrait of Marilyn Monroe, I really don't care, but a tee must be owned. T-shirts are a very personal thing you know? That is why there are sooo many different kinds, there is rock tshirts, girlie tshirts, tshirts with weird pictures and the list goes on and on and on, but truth is tshirts take a big part in who we are.
I identify different periods of my life with tshirts. ie: the strokes tshirt i still own after i bought it when i was 16 at their gig, my nikki beach tshirt after i went to St Tropez, and last butn ot least, my Star Wars tshirt that I bought a year ago after discovering I had no tshirts at all in my closet!
Anyhow, a tshirt is a life, or so I like to think. That is why this Topshop tshirt is 'adequate'. It has a white bold background with the word BFF written in a bright pink font. What's not to love?
5. Coral top from Topshop.
This top is my guilty pleasure, I would probably only wear it once, but it has to be worn. I know, I love orange, and this shade of coral is right up my street, but I have always been against dressing like a grandma. I love it love it love it. It is a style that drives me crazy. It is girlie, yet colourful and it makeds you look like a lady even if you are a crack whore, but I just refuse to impose a fashion so... old, on my young vital body. It is like wanting a pair of Louboutins but ending up buying the imitation ones... It just cannot be done!
Anyhow, those are my favourite designs so far. A lot of colour might cheer us up and distract us from the fact that Spring might just never come!!
