Don’t worry, I’ll find the best pieces so you don’t have to!

This denim co-ord from @riverisland is gorgeous!

Worn together as a set of separately, you can’t go wrong with it! Trust me, I’m a stylist 😂

I got it for a wardrobe concierge client in two sizes, she kept one, so I tried on the other as it was sensational - and there’s no gate keeping here! 😁

Spots and stripes

Spots are a huge trend this season, and I’ve heard confusion from people as to how to style them

Well, if you’re like me, and you’re not afraid to stand out then, you can add stripes to the mix or different textures, like fringing or lace to a big spot

If your style is more subdued and you don’t really like to make an entrance, then look for a smaller, finer spot that doesn’t stand out as much and keep your look more tonal - so colours that blend rather than clash

Let me know what you’d like me to cover on my grid as we enter the new season! Put your requests in the comments if you have any!

Style tips from a fashion stylist

#LTKstyletip #LTKspring #LTKuk

3 trends, 1 outfit!

1. 💛 yellow - the colour du jour (you’ll have seen by my grid posts, I’m obsessed with the colour!)
2. 👖 turn up jeans - slim legs jeans are the new skinny, you heard it here first! Add a turn up to them and you’re even more trend forward for spring
3. 🍓 a pop of red - this season, we’re keeping the burgundy theme going but you’ll see the colour is slightly more vivid than the deeper tones we saw in winter

Polka dots 🟤⚪️🟤⚪️

Prepare to see them everywhere this spring! They’re a massive trend that I hinted at last spring but this season, it’s going to be a very dominant print!

I love this set and couldn’t wait to wear it as soon as it arrived - even if the weather is a total nightmare (scroll to the end to see the proof 😂)

The bag is Prada from @elitepreloved and is a perfect tonal colour with the outfit

BUTTER YELLOW

A huge colour trend for spring, just like it was last spring!

I saw this jacket and knew instantly it was going to be in my spring capsule! It’s such an easy piece and colour to work with so much I’ve already got! Plus it’s light enough to wear as a top, or open as a jacket!

A trend that we’re going to see for spring and into summer!

They’re easy to wear so many different ways!

Would you wear them and shall I style them up different ways for you?

💙 Cobalt Blue 💙

The colour you can expect to see a lot this season! It’s also the colour that I commented on that’s hot this season for @hellomag !

If you’re not a huge fan of the colour but want to be on trend this spring, why not introduce an accent of the colour into your existing wardrobe? For example:

Scarves
Belts

Leopard print - the print that never goes out of style!

If your mind automatically thinks of Pat Butcher or Bet Lynch when you think of leopard print, you’re not alone! 😂

To avoid the barmaid look, add an ‘accent’ of leopard print to your outfit in either a shoe, bag, belt or scarf, rather than wearing leopard print clothes. It’s a super easy way to elevate an outfit and is gorgeous teamed with white for spring

🩶 and 🤍

Am I the only one that’s starting to think about spring? 🤔

I’m ready to inject some brightness into my wardrobe, so I added a flash of white to a grey outfit… it’s not ‘in your face’ spring but the white effortlessly lifts the more wintery shades of the grey and black.

Linking to my Borg jacket and trainers as people have been asking where they’re from!

The jacket is current season so is an exact match, the ASICS trainers are from last winter and sold out instantly so I’ve linked to the same style in different colours
