2013 FASHION TRENDS

Although I don't usually follow trends, it is important that I get myself acquainted with the latest trends, and to share my findings with you. As a matter of policy, I only buy what I can afford and make sure I  at least have some wardrobe staples. We all have our different lifestyles, as such, different staples to suit them. The trends are things I am sure most of use have already, maybe just in slight variations. Without further ado, kindly find below some of the fashion trends for 2013, enjoy

FLORALS

These could be in form of dresses, blazers, pants, you name it. We saw designers like Mary Katranzou and our very own Jewel by Lisa play around with lots of florals and brights last year. I'm pleased to inform you that florals are still bang on trend and they can either be dressed either up or down depending on the occasion. Narrowing it down for this year though, floral belted dresses are more of the focus. I looked around and found these

COLLARLESS BLOUSES

Be it in form of a kimono top, a sheer round neck blouse or just a plain black top, the focus this season is the neck. Collarless blouses have been around for while on the catwalk, but thankfully we will see them in shops very soon, if not already. These flirty, girly tops can replace the formal stiff shirts we are all used to, transforming form work to play without a fuss

This lady Biba collarless top goes for #4,900. Find it here


DOCUMENT CLUTCH OR ENVELOPE CLUTCH

These flat, empty looking beauties come in different intriguing and playful designs and sizes. They are sure to brighten up any outfit, and make it look extremely gorgeous. Going for a business meeting? Some of these clutches come with detachable handles that automatically transform into portfolio looking things. A night out with the girls? These lovelies will hold your beauty stuffs and even hold your ipad/galaxy tab conveniently. What's not to love?

This Louis Vuitton clutch is everything.

Ahme Couture makes the loveliest hand stitched, genuine leather bags. This goes for #35,000. Get it here

LUXE CUFFS

Arm candies are always a delight, except when they are too much and click & clack so much they disturb other people around. This year we see the arm candy party gearing towards being embellished and luxurious looking. Chain details, colour accents and jewel studding are the way to go. 



In other news, this caught my fancy. Its by Cool Beans, you will agree its quite cool. Find it here
