Scarf Print Trend

A great trend for this Spring is the scarf print trend. Honestly, I'm a bit scared of this trend because some of the colours can be really 'loud' and it's difficult to get a proper balance when you're wearing such a stand-out piece. But, luckily for me, it's made easier by the fact that scarf print clothes come in all shapes, sizes and colours, some of which I'm going to show you in this post...

Neon Jackets

In the past weeks neon jackets have become more and more popular on Chictopia. (For those of you who don't know what this is, it's an online fashion community that allows you to view pictures of other people's outfits from around the world and post your own. If you haven't already, I urge you to have a look. You may get inspired!).

Here are some of the outifts I have seen containing the neon jacket trend...

Sunday Shoes

I've been doing some very uninspiring posts recently and I'm sorry for that but today I get to pick my favourite pair of shoes from this week! (Very exciting :P).
