February's Fabulous Fashion Wishlist

This month it's all about riviera-prints, preppy chic and vintage quirks.

Riviera-prints - Think 50s kitsch, with full skirts and Hermes scarves.

I am a little bit in love with this Primarni beach scene prom dress, and the fashion mags have been going crazy for it too. At only £17, you can afford to get the cute socks and nude heels to go with it!

What is there not to love about these wide leg polka dot trousers (£45, Topshop)? Palazzo pants are going to be huge this summer and there are already great little numbers on Asos, in Topshop and even at George at Asda - so whatever your budget there is no excuse for not owning a pair of these soon. They are the utmost in glamour, and barely need styling at all, but will look lovely with a plain top and some retro-inspired wedges.


Preppy chic - Clean lines and sophisticated cuts. Think little girl ditsy-prints, but all grown up.

New look is crawling with beautiful, preppy pastel blouses at the minute. The new range has just hit the shops this week, and this Ballerina-inspired chiffon tie neck blouse (£21.99) is one of my favourites. Wear with jeans for a casual day look, or tuck into a pair of glammed up harems with big heels for a sophisticated but sexy evening outfit.

Ditsy prints are massive this spring, and Primark have come to the rescue with a whole range of cute and quirky dresses, tops, shorts and skirts to help you get kitted out in dainty butterfly and tiny horse prints in time for the summer months. These monochrome heart design shorts are gorgeous, and the floaty material adds to the preppy chic look. I have a similar pair, navy blue with tiny pink butterflies on. Divine. And all for as little as £7. Oh, how I do love Primarni originals.


Vintage quirks- Frills and florals by the bucket load.

This dress is epic in my opinion (£40, Asos). Gorgeous colour, gorgeous style, gorgeous material. It looks so vintage without the hefty price tag, and needs little more than a big gold ring and a pair of slinky black heels for a perfect night-on-the-town outfit. Asos do vintage chic so well, and you can find the perfect accessories to make this little number complete online.

For me, no vintage look would be complete this summer without a pair of vintage style loafers. Whether it be heeled or flat, tan or grey, I have been eying up every pair on the high-street. These tan tassel loafers from River Island (£29.99) are to-die-for, but Primark also do an £12 grey replica so keep your wits about you and get loafer hunting.




Best buy: This H&M pale cream creation (£29.99) screams spring with it's light and floaty feel. I have bought a similar Primarni number, with gold button detailing, for a very reasonable £15. These cream, floaty dresses are every where at the moment and are going to be a staple piece in your wardrobe for the spring to summer convergence. Make like me and where with pink grey brogues and a denim gillet.

Bargain buy: I know most bargain buys are supposed to be £10 or less, but this Forever 21 Peacock print chiffon dress was just too good for words! The colours and the detailing are beautiful and it could be worn day or night. The twisted straps and downward paneling on the dress make it look far more expensive than it's tiny £21.80 price tag. I'm going to snap this up soon, I can see.
