Mish mash of thoughts on Spring's hottest trends

From what I can glean from having seen the Spring collections on the catwalk,the fashion world is in a very optimistic mood this season, filled with fresh, exuberant colour or perhaps wishful thinking and to a certain degree escapism.

Must haves for spring!!
Pick any pretty pastels in colors that flatter you. Wear rose toned jewels & pearls for a retro touch. Since color is king this spring you can find something flattering pick your fave as they are all "in" .
I love the range in hues from the finest of delicate pastels to the standout neons (they can look quite cute and fresh when used in small doses and paired with neutrals, be brave !) My fave combo is white,gray,acid yellow.

Marine/mermaid Blues: the shade of the moment in everyday clothes and makeup and smart too looks awesome if sparkly , I am loving the navy smoked eye!! teal, navy sky blue...take your pic!.

Black and White: classic yet always striking...thanks to coco Chanel.

New Safari: easy trend to shop your closet!!! just pair any khaki shades in sharp shapes with geometric/tribal jewelry and you are set.

Eyebrows were groomed but big kinda like Audrey hepburn so ladies, step away from the tweezers. If the season's catwalk looks are anything to go by make yours a feature.

Retro inspired shapes ruled the "new" looks with a nod to The great Gatsby were pretty cool! Drop waists, flapper frills, Art Deco lines, Cloche hats ,multi strand necklaces, Luxe beading ,pale colors with intense lips and eyes ....The lovely 1920s were referenced on many runways .

Lace Galore: You know a trend is going to be big when you see it on bags, shoes and even jewellery. Fashion has fallen for lace in all its glory, I am so glad as I own some awesome vintage pieces !!!!

OK ...this is some of my fashion ramblings!!

hope it makes sense!! : P
