Tassled bags

I am crazy about hassle bags making a comeback! It gives me the opportunity to get involved with the boho chic summer style without going too retro. I have seen them everywhere from high end stores to forever 21 and they are sticking for the next season! Bring on the 70's style tassels on everything from suede jackets to stilettos. Here are some awesome tassel bags for you to get boho.

Karate Belt it up

Obi belts are no longer just for karate lessons, they are the biggest accessory trend of the season. Not only do these belts accentuate your waist, they are stylish and fun to wear. Tie it in a simple knot at the front or wrap around your waist twice to create that obi belt look. You can pair this belt over a summer dress, with a top and wide leg pants, or any other loose fitting garment that could do with a bit of structure. Whether you choose a white belt or a black belt (get it) or any colour in-between, this is the trend to look out for this summer!

Wardrobe Essentials

My style is kind of preppy/minimalist, and I stick to black, white, navy and a splash of colour in accessories on most days. I wouldn't call myself the most daring individual when it comes to fashion, I like to stick to what I know I look good in.

This is my personal list of what I think every girl should have in her closet. These essentials never go out of fashion and can be paired with almost anything. They are the go-to items you should own that will never let you down. Make sure that you invest in good quality pieces that fit perfectly, and buy cheaper seasonal accessories to accompany them.

The White Shirt
This goes without saying, top of the list! A crisp white shirt is without fail the most important item to own. It goes with anything and everything and can be tucked in, layered or accessorized. You will look instantly classy, and effortlessly stylish.

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.

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.
