HOPES & UTOPIA

This season I cannot help thinking that the theme is: happiness.

After months of dreary weather, ice cold snow, no pennies after christmas spends, the trends are becoming brighter, the patterns are becoming crazier, and shops are looking fresher. So yes there is happiness and hope in the air of the upcoming months of SPRING.

I know this is quite late, considering LFW is in full swing concentrating on AW12 fancys, however I really need to express the current collections and how happy I feel when purchasing a new neon paste; chiffon crazy patterned structured shirt. (Yes, everything goes this season).

French Connection SS12 say it how it is.

Mulberry look back to our childhood memories, a walk on the beach with ice cream and rock, focusing on the pastel pretties.

Louis Vuitton again reference back to a childhood memory with their campaign video, linking to nostalgia with a merry-go-round. 

Prada link to travel, holiday and escapism, a place where we are care free and happy.

River Island use the idea of holidays, summer, sun, fruit and relaxation again a happy and warm place in our hearts

Reiss link to summer sun and getaways, road trips to reference escapism and a utopian perfect world.

THE VELVET IN TREND:

Topshop gold velvet no-sleeve shift dress 

Topshop deep blue mid-waist skirt

                                                         Urban Outfitters cherry red backpack
                                                  Topshop dark aqua winter maxi skirt

There's so much choice on the high street for velvet lovers! These four picks i've seen in stores and they look even more lustrous than they do on screen. Backpacks are everywhere right now and are tipped to be the next big thing for SS12, as part of the 'SPORT' trend, i'm not sure ill be hoping onto the backpack wagon though. The maxi skirt is rather eye catching, would be hard to style thought, i'm thinking a jersey crop tee and a sheer chiffon kimono with some heeled lace up boots, mermaid goth! (it looks good in my head, trust me)
