Off the shoulder - with Spring in the air it's time to show a bit of shoulder
H&M have got it spot on with this mustard yellow floral creation (£34.99). Short, silky and with statement shoulder detailing, this will look great with sandals in the day, and colour-pop mustard yellow heels for the night. Do like they do and add a wide tan belt to complete the look.
If you're a bit weary about baring your pre-holiday tan legs this early on in the year, why not opt for an off the shoulder top instead. Most varieties will look great with maxi skirts or jeans, so there is no need to reach for the fake tan just yet.
This beautiful coral one shoulder top
from River Island (£39.99) is a tad on the pricey side, but the colour is going to be key to any Spring 2011 wardrobe. The chiffon material gives it a light, floaty feel and the layering gives a much more designer look. The only downside, for me at least, is that I'm not a big fan of corsages, and this one is nondetachable so that does spoil it a bit for me.
Deep-plunge necklines - strictly eveningwear, with a V so deep it leaves very little to the imagination!
This is a bold and brave look to pull off, but done right it can leave you looking breath-taking.
This look requires a specialist bra which won't show through, or for you to be the bravest of them all and go bra-less - there is NO space for bra straps on show here.
This Asos plunge neck top is highly risky, but very sexy with it's mesh underlay. Covered in tiny silver studs and with draped ruffled sleeves, this is a must-buy to tackle the deep plunge trend. And with the bonus that it is now only £10 (down from £28), I order you to get online and
buy it now, before it's too late.
After trawling the highstreet stores, I have found that Lipsy seems to be the undisputed Queen of plunge neck dresses, with a huge range of party frocks which far outdoes any other highstreet brand. This Jewelled plunge neck dress comes in a vast range of colours and prints and is my pick of the bunch. You won't need much more than a few sparkles, some big heels and a smile with this dress, so snap yours up quick while stocks last.
Pleats - on tops, dress, camis...you name it, it will look better pleated.
I am off for a major shopping trip to London in three weeks, and this Primark coral pleated skirt (£8) is top of my hit list. I have had my eye on this for weeks, but I have been waiting for the warmer weather to appear as this is clearly a bare-legs and sandals skirt - not a black tights and boots look! I am utterly in love with the colour, the shape and the length - although the navy blue version is also very cute. I'm planning to wear this with a plain racer back vest for a casual yet chic daytime look.
This beautiful pleated Topshop creation (£42) is also officially on my wishlist. Despite them labeling it coral, I think it's much more of a fiery red, and this is going to look great of an evening with some strapey heels. The sleeveless look is another key statement of Spring 2011, and the lace detailing on the upper part of the dress gives it a whole other dimension. This is a must ladies, but you will have to fight me for it!
Lust Item
I have hand picked one Lust Item for March and this, for me, is the one. This Forever 21 sky blue floral dress (£21.80) is my top buy for March, as it is simply gorgeous and can be worn so many different ways. Dress it down for the day with over the knee socks and brogues, or in the sunny weather with tan sandals and a rope belt, or even out of an evening with some sky-high wedges and a cute clutch bag. I love the colour, the floral print is in-keeping with the Spring 2011 trend and the ruffle detailing around the hem gives it a much more designer look.
