Some call it homeless, others call it grunge, I call it I don't care.

Grunge look dominates the fashion week every year. But why? Be

cause it's effortless and edgy. Just a tonne of layers to keep you warm for example - a flannel and grey zip-up hoddie with a denim jacket on top, comfy but you still look like you are on top of your fashion trends. Grunge oozes the carefree rock and roll vibe, which is always in.

90's are coming back in style. People find themselves listing to Nirvana and Jam and wearing denim on denim. Alexa Chung was always the leader of the grunge clique, with her ombre messy shoulder cut and effortless makeup. There's nothing cooler than not giving a damn - mantra of every grunge chick. Highwaisted shorts, military parka, mesh tops and docs are your must haves for summer. Grunge is an ideal festival look in which you can rock your greasy hair in a high fashion manner.

Phillip Lim took on the 90's grunge and made it modern in 
his Spring/Summer 2013 collection. 3.1 Phillip Lim collection was full of matte bedheads and black boots concluding the youthful street appeal. Clothing that is playful, humorous, and walking the line between chaotic and cliché, but never succumbing to either. This collection is your 411 on how to mix grunge and modern sport apparel for spring and summer months.

So girls and boys; dig up your docs, denim jackets and eyeliner. Grunge is back- modern but cool. Put on your Sex Pistols record and dungarees full of the carefree nonchalance screaming "I don't care". Check out my grunge polyvore sets below and follow me on polyvore. Oh, and girls - release your inner Effy Stonem. 

                                                  

spring/summer 2013 trend - solarplexus and cut-out dresses

Michael Kors (solarplexus)

    If you're looking for a new hot s/s trend fresh from the catwalk then solarplexus is yours! You're probably wondering what "solarplexus" is and how it is related in any way to fashion, as it sounds something like you'd find in an astronomy book. The solar plexus is an area of the body near the base of the sternum. Solar plexus has also a spiritual dimension according to Hinduism. 

   
  There has been a lot of solarplexus' on show at New York fashion week especially in collections of Michael Kors, Badgley Mischka and Narisco Rodriguez. So, if you want to show a bit of flesh but still leave your pins covered, solarplexus cut-out dresses are a great choice for a walk around the beach or a summer party. Solarplexus dresses are elegant, yet sexy and summery.

Alexander Wang

 Cut-out dresses,bikinis,tops and whatnot are back in trend as seen on Alexander Wang's s/s 2013 collection. As you may know Alexander Wang is becoming the new king of New York fashion – if it isn't already confirmed so. If you like minimalism and have an aesthetic approach to clothes, then you will love Wang's s/s collection, as it's full of clean cut shapes and black and whites. With cut-out dresses you can still be sexy and seductive, whilst leaving the rest up to somebody's imagination. 

shoes shoes and more shoes

      As a girl I have an obsession with shoes, I mean do you know a girl that doesn't like going shoe shopping? I think the answer would be no, unless you're talking to someone who doesn't classify fashion as their priority. 

    It's fall now, so we need to swap our jelly sandals and flatform sandals to something more practical like boots. Boots are so universal, they go with everything. You can 'grunge up' a dress by adding a pair of military boots. Of course flatforms are still a must-have. So here's few pairs of shoes that I would consider a necessity  for fall 2012 and also some shoeispirations.

The Olsen Obsession

   Everyone knows The Olsen twins, right? They have been in the film industry for as long as anyone can remember. Maybe they are not starring in any films or dramas right now but they are one of the biggest fashion icons at the moment.

    Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have recently turned 26 years old but they are already well known American  actresses and fashion designers.  Their fashion label called 'The Row' is luxurious and minimalistic, it simply marries both Ashley's and Mary-Kate's style. The beautiful use of leather and elegant trench coats can be seen on the fall 2012 collection.

  The twins are known for their minimalistic and boho fashion sense. They are often seen wearing black oversized fur coats, flowy maxi skirts and suits. I honestly can't get enough of them. Their style is so effortless but well thought out as well as elegant. I find their outfits inspiring and I want to share some of my favourite pictures of The Olsens style;

P.S I know I haven't been posting for such a long time, but I'm back for good now and I'll post regularly I promise.

pastel mania

   Pastel colours are always most fashionable colours to wear in spring/summer it is no different this year. The s/s shows were full of clothes in colours normally reserved for a nursery. Sickeningly sweet head to toe pastel looks are a spring no.1 trend.

   Do not be afraid of the sorbet colours even if you are not brave enough to pull off a head to toe pastel look, you can mismatch them with various different trends like tribal or floral patterns. Shops like topshop and asos are full of pastel coloured clothe so take inspiration from these pictures and get ice-cream colours shopping!
