McCartney Spring 2011
I'm a massive follower of fashion, Not so much in what I wear but in knowledge. I especially love reading about seasonal trends whether it be from new prints, cuts or proportions to colour palettes, fabrics and silhouettes. I find it fascinating how these elements are redesigned and reconfigured seasonally to compliment a trend i.e 70's trend of spring 2011- billowing sheer shirts and flared jeans as oppose to the camel toe endorsing skinnies and peek-a-boo lace of autumn/winter 2010. I like to be in the know and look out for these details creeping onto the high street. I then have a store of mental information for when I'm doing the rounds at the chazza's. I try to find my own unique interpretations.As ever, this season sees the return of 'spring florals', a tricky one to reinvent and keep fresh and wearable.
This season it seems floral prints finally 'grow a pair' They dominate and not in a ditsy repeat way! Each flower, shall we say, is unique-slightly differing formations add a more couture edge to garments and the placement of the print seems quite random- ceratinly bigger and bolder. I particularly dribble over Stella's range for Spring, as I'm not a foral girl at heart, and tacky, floral garments of any kind, put me instantly off someone, similarly to a waft of bad breath, her willowy stemmed, over sized poppy heads, awkwardly juxtaposed against a moody palette emanates grunge and this.I.like! One afternoon, I came across this top in Cancer Research. not so grunge but totally great. I almost wet myself. £3.99 well spent!

Just look how it nods towards Stella's Spring collection and also this stunning Zara dress- £39.99 in shops now!
"Dominate"!! Love the blog D. Although my wardrobe is lacking in floral inspiration and may stay that way I will certainly keep an eye on your posts. I would probably describe Macc as a cultural black hole, but idea of a cul-da-sac having a way out reassures me!!
