MAY STYLE UPDATE

Looking for Spring that will never come...

My own personal style is pretty much all over the place right now, maybe because so is the weather. It's come to a point where its a 'chuck- on- anything- you - can - find- out of the- wardrobe and - GO!', because final year deadlines take no prisoners! Here's a little summary of pieces and styles i'm going for in May, rain or no rain. Trend or no trend.

A couple of snaps of some recent spendatures. I haven't bought much just lately as I put myself on a spending ban, didn't last long hence the two new jumpers and pair of boots. I have been looking for some taupe/beige boots cowboy style for a while, going to team them with some vintage Levis and a long spaghetti strap top when the sun eventually arrives. Until then, its lightly knitted oversize jumpers in spring pastels all the way!

 Might be a easy come easy go trend, yet i'm obsessed with the neon yellow/lime that has been gracing the glossies for a while now.

                     Transparency and Monochrome, the two combined is classic, simple and sophisticated.

BEAUTY BY SOLVE SUNDSBO:

I constantly flick on Trendland.net for inspiration and ideas generation. So when I browsed todays trends I instantly attached my eyes onto this eclectic montages.

The colourful editorial shots have been carefully placed together to juxta mix model Lara Stone against florals, muscles, and natural aesthetics for the March issue of W magazine.

It carefully showcases springs latest trends. I think this is a great way of portraying trends than literally placing a model on a blank page with comments of why you should wear it and how. It shows creation; a form of art. This is hard to find sometimes within magazines as they have become rather accustomed to the ideal mainstream consumer. These mixed media  selections make you look further into the trend, and analyse them rather than just thinking, 'oh, florals are on trend this season'. Maybe this is just my view as a creative analyse student myself however i'm sure most people would rather see a colourful mix of beautiful shapes and patterns rather than the outfit given to you on a glossy editorial page.

See what you think. I think they're just plain beautiful.
