Monochrome Grid

The monochrome grid trend cannot go unnoticed this season. This is one of my personal favorites because I usually always wear black and white, and the grid pattern is easily incorporated into any wardrobe. Because it is a simple pattern, you can accessorize heavily and add pops of colour (monochrome and pink would be the perfect combination). If you want to go the extra style mile, wear a grid pattern skirt/shorts with a matching blazer or crop top and a neutral coloured top- ultimate fashionista!

All Pink Everything

Fashion Alert!! Pink is the new black-the colour of the season in every shade. Any girl who doesn't follow on this trend will be left in the back seat this summer. Coming from someone who usually sticks to black and white, even I have embraced the pink revolution. It is the girliest and most feminine on the colour wheel, so start looking for your pink items now. You can go full on pink and pastels from head to toe or get some pink accessories to start off with. You decide the dose of pink you can handle! Take some pretty in pink tips from these stylish celebrities.

The mid-length skirt
The 50's inspired Grease skirt is doing its rounds on the catwalk this season, and what better way to combine two trends in one with a pink version like Jessica Alba. They flatter most body types as they emphasize your waist and skim over your hips. Pair it with a crop top or tucked in button-up shirt.

Daisy Darling

I am very excited to announce that if you have not yet noticed the daisy trend taking over the fashion world, now you know! Yellow daisies on white or black backgrounds are everywhere. I have never known of summer trends to be as literal as this season with flowers, fruit and bold prints. The daisy is an update from big floral and rose prints, which are always pretty but not as trendy as daisies. Choose from subtle accessories such as cell phone covers and bags to dresses and playsuits. Here are some pretty options to get you involved this summer.

Mermaid Hair

I have always had this obsession with mermaids.-the shell bra's, the long tails, the multi-coloured hair. Lucky for you girls out there who are just as obsessed as I am, the mermaid hair trend is gaining momentum this summer. Whether you are blonde or brunette, choose what shade you would like to go and how much you actually want to colour (whether its the entire head or just the tips). There are a variation of options for getting that mermaid hair look, including chalks and semi-permanent dyes. Coordinate it with your clothing to create an extra chic look. Another fun and feminine summer trend!

Watermelons & Pineapples

If you didn't realise that watermelon and pineapple prints are the hottest trend for summer 2014, where have you been?  Nothing screams 'Its Summer Time!' more than juicy summer fruit, so why not eat it and wear it too! The watermelon and pineapple trend on pretty much everything from sunglasses to t-shirts is happening at the moment. It is fresh and fun, and even one item can completely update and revamp your outfit. I have been stopping myself from buying every random thing that has any fruit resemblance on it. Check out these fun options!

Birkenstocks

Yes, I am just as surprised as you are! Straight out of Germany, Birkenstocks are in fashion and available everywhere. Most people have taken on the trend with hesitation, but why not join in on the fun and look chic at the same time! I would suggest buying a cheaper pair because they are just as good as the originals. Enjoy these comfortable slip-ons and have fun with the different colours! Whatever you do...  just don't wear them with socks.
