I'm Wearing... Zara Studio Masculine Coat

The latest addition to my forever-growing collection of coats is this Zara Masculine Studio Coat. Long silhouette, masculine details and oversized fit - I picked this coat up for less than half the price, how could I resist? 

I teamed this blue coat with an all black outfit (Zara High wasted leggings, Studio sheer top and Basic wedge boots). 

February Trend Report

February consists of; Structured funnel-necks, lace delicates, buckle belts on everything, metal bracelets, flashes of yellow, mules, geometrical handbags & Culottes.  

Ok, so I may have been optimistic whilst collating pieces for this month's Trend Report/Wish List, as it has been less than 12 hours since I saw snow falling outside - But, there are so many Spring/Summer pieces I couldn't help sharing with you!

I'm Wearing... Zara Pleated Midi Skirt

One of the key trends for Spring/Summer 2014 are pleats, so I thought I'd give it a go with this Zara Pleated Midi Skirt. Versatile and effortless, this pleated skirt will add texture to a basic outfit. Worn with a pair of Birkenstocks, Zara Crop T-Shirt and H&M rings -casual with a touch of femininity. 

Spring/Summer 2014 Trend Report; Pleats, Sheer Details & The Art Of Fashion

 Pleats are in this season and may even be the skirt of Spring/Summer 2014. Metallics, chiffons, silk and sheers, this modern take on the 'librarian skirt' is easy-to-wear and the light-weight fluidity makes it perfect for those tropical summer days.

Another trend for Spring/Summer 2014 is the 'Sheer' Trend. Anything sheer will work; tops, shirts, details, skirts. However, this trend comes with a caution - Too much sheer is a no-go and one must be careful not to over-expose. A great way to wear the sheer trend (whilst protecting your modesty) is to layer different lengths or choosing pieces with sheer panels.

'The Art Of Fashion' trend had a huge presence at the Spring/Summer 2014 fashion shows, with the likes of Chanel, Celine and Prada showcasing their creative and bold designs (Click here to read my review of the Celine SS14 show). This trend is not for everyone and could easily turn into a fashion disaster if not worn right. I'm looking forward to seeing how the high-street interpret this trend - Zara already have a few pieces available.
