Trending Items This Spring 2018

Spring is in the air! Spring is everywhere! What I love about spring is coming out of the dark (and cold) & into the light (and Sun).

The same can be said about fashion. From dark to light colours from solids to florals. Spring 2018 is all about prints, colour and making a statement.

Tonal is wearing all one colour can elongate your figure and make you look taller. White is white hot this spring but is not an ideal choice for mothers. Image breast milk stains and vomit from your new born and finger painting on your skirt by your two year old. I don’t think any mother needs to spend more time soaking and washing more than she needs too. If you love white invest in a pair of white ankle boots and or white belt or belt bag (where at least you can wipe off any marks from the leather).

Statement tees are big this season. Pair with a blazer and jeans and you take your bus run to the next level. Pick a slogan that you can relate to or inspire you like ‘Boss Mumma’ or ‘Adore’. Have fun with it and wear it with pride.

Resin earrings make a big statement this spring. They are bright and colourful and an easy way to add colour into your wardrobe. Team these with any outfit and it will instantly make you feel amazing and incredible. A statement earring will take your look from day to night and draw attention to your beautiful face. Add some lipstick and a smile even if you are tired, to brighten your day and others around you.

Floral has been around for some seasons and continues into spring 2018. Floral prints are everywhere from dresses to tops to skirts and pants. My favourite is a floral dress teamed with an ankle boot. Also wide leg pants a back in a big way. A wide leg floral pant looks amazing on most body shapes. Floral or any print is also perfect for hiding any stains or marks children may leave behind while out and about.

Stripes and polka dots are also back in season with dresses, pants skirts and tops. Vertical stripes will enhance your body’s length making you appear taller. Horizontal stripes will add curve and width to your body. So be careful when choosing stripes and think about what you are trying to achieve. Whether that be adding curves or length to your body.

Ankle boots are still number one on my list. They can be worn with everything from jeans, skirts and dresses and add a fun and functional element to your outfit. Choose a heel height that is comfortable for you. Personally, low to mid heel is best when chasing children around all day.

Sparkles are everywhere this season. Anything that sparkles will bring joy to your day shoes, earrings, jewellery but clothing is big this year.

Linen is everywhere this spring. It is a versatile material that is perfect for the Australian climate. Similar to cotton it stays cool in the hotter months and ideal for travel. If you don’t like the crushed or unironed look then linen may not be for you. Add a simple linen dress or linen shirt to your wardrobe, will help you step out to your next BBQ looking relaxed and effortless.
