Fashion Accessories Are Back In fashion and so are stripes!

A trend seen over the last few years, is the return of the stripes. Stripy shorts or stripy tops, we have all been told that the sailor style is one of the key looks to be reckoned with. . .Think french style, cote d'Azure or Brittany; Think stripes in navy blue, red, or white. The epitome of classic style with that "un certain je ne sais quoi" as the French would say!
My question is: have you adopted it? If you haven’t yet invested in one nautically inspired piece this season, here is why you should:
* Timeless and effortless chic with high ‘wearability’, beyond next summer’s new trends.
* International appeal from our sailing paradises to the French Riviera.
* Nice nautical pieces are usually hard to find, make the most of it being one of the key looks of the season.
Chose pieces that are individual and reflect your personality, go for natural fibers such as linen and cotton and opt for timeless smart cuts, this is particularly important with pants. Also, keep your accessories to a minimum while wearing the sailor look. Over accessorizing while wearing stripy outfits, is an over-kill and so a big no-no.

Another fashion trend recorded the last few years, unless you have been living on a different fashion planet to our own, is the return en force of fashion accessories in the past couple of years. Accessories from belts, 'it' bags, long, short, beaded, silver all kinds of necklaces, scarves, bracelets sets with charms, jewellery galore and bling-blings etc.... the list is never-ending and we are all enjoying the fun accessories bring to our wardrobe.
Accessories can instantly update an outfit and bring it up to 'fashion speed'. They also instantly lift something as basic as a white singlet - just add a fun sequin brooch for a simple and elegant look that is your own and not everyone else's.
Chose accessories that are fresh and unique and allow yourself to be a bit bolder in your choices - as an example, distinctive jewellery can be a real talking point and will make you stand out from the crowd....
And lastly, remember to keep all your ‘finds’, over each year you will have added all the latest looks which will inevitably be revived at some point!

Which ever fashion trend or fashion style you like and want to follow, remember that most important of all, you need to make it your own, adjust it to your personality. So own your style and stand out from the crowds!
