Hey Guys, 

Its been an awful while, I've noticed in the time I've been away Coco's managed to generate a lot of viewer and comments. Chuffed! So in the time I've been away I turned 21 and started work properly no more training for a while, other than that nothing new. I also styled Coco's last shoot and realised Im better at that than styling myself, in my opinion. It was an exciting experience in comparison to doing so for myself perhaps because I can truly see my end product.

Monochrome ss13 & Mixing Prints: It's all about black and white!

 

So here's the obvious post! Ha wondered how long it would be till I did the monochrome post. I decided to not be too predictable by just wearing black and white and what better way to execute this trend than mix prints? Mixing spots, checks or stripes and even mixing the same patterns allows you to rock one of the 60’s classic styles considering that spring/ summer of 2013 is significantly inspired by the 1960s, (greatly showcased by Louis Vitton taking on the mod look). The reason why I love monochrome so much is because it’s a classic style and as simple as it’s ought to be, I think it’s a perfect trend for you to add a pop of colour. A novel perspective for it, 60’s with a touch of 2013! I came up with a few fits to show off this style. I was quite excited about the whole idea of mixing prints, especially spots and stripes. If not that then I would just add a pop of color to the outfit.

Trendspotting: ss13 All White: All White Trend

 

Of course black and white is tremendously trending this season. But white alone is the new black! It's a summer staple; it's light, it's 'pure', it's chic and it's clean. All white is never an easy color to pull off, unless of course it's your wedding day. A lot of people are quite apprehensive about wearing this color but in all honesty it's not an intimidating color to wear; although it does draw a lot of attention, it is one of the colors that imply minimalism.  You cannot possibly over do it. Simplicity is key. A vast majority of the ss13 shows had this trend, I tried not to lean towards the obvious choices such as Chanel and Celine in choosing looks to put up.
White is not an easy color to wear so if you want to create an ensemble, you will find the items you bought thinking were white are actually not as white as you thought when you start to compare them. Some may seem 'whiter' than others. This is absolutely fine as it gives you more options when you go for off white colors or pastel whites. It also reduces the attention to your outfit as compared to when you are wearing whites of the same textures. Also!! Don't over accessorize. Simple jewelry will be perfect.
