The long maxi skirt in lighter more floaty fabrics continues through for summer, and best you purchase a one-piece swimsuit (bold colours and patterns) for a deliciously hot look this season. Pair them with a maxi skirt or Kaftan dress if wanting a cover up and you’re on your way! Now that’s put a bounce in your step, hasn’t it?

Stripe it this seaso season n They have been all over the runways nways for Spring/Sum Spring/Summer 2011, and the wider the stripes the better. No; it won’t make you look b bigger. Surprisingly, stripes give the illusion of making you slimmer, so vamp up your wardrobe with rich colourful stripes in blues, greens, yellows and reds.

Hello sailor is still a hot look this season, but why not branch out from your sailor blue and white stripes and go bold? International fashion designers Marc Jacobs and Prada are celebrating wide stripes for summer, and you will find plenty of choice amongst the High Street stores.
Not so sure about stripes? Then don’t go all out in them. Instead keep half of your outfit colour blocked for a simple but effective look. Pair your stripes with denim – an oversized T-shirt with frayed denim shorts creates a relaxed summer feel.

Retro is back – 70s style but with a re-vamp. Robine Pierr
While skinny jeans remain a popular staple in the wardrobe this season, the high-waisted, wide, flared and fuller leg is a welcoming contrast. Go all out and embrace the look with patterns, accessories and floaty fabric tops. Marc Jacobs welcomes the 70s in glamour dresses. The jumpsuit/playsuit is back, for those fashionistas who want to be a little daring and playful!

s mer r Fa
From dresses, skirts and tops to accessories, romantic floral prints (big or small) remain this season. Look out for coloured d flowers on maxi dresses.
Colour blocking When it comes to colour blocking, the brighter the better, and d the hottest colour trend this summer is tangerine (have no more than three colours on the go). Avoid pairing them with black. Instead, ad, opt for neutral tones.
Loobie Story s
Purely white If you can’t get your head around going bold this summer then keep it simple by going all white in a feminine white dress or shirt dress. Not only does it ooze purity and sophistication, but it’s a fantastic crisp alternative to the brights.
Caroli Sillsne

Ziera
Don’t be shy to mix and match colours with patterns. Wear your stripes with prints, such as a striped top with a leopard or patterned skirt. Make a statement and clash those patterns. Wacky and wonderful international designer Vivienne Westwood loves creating this look with no rules!

Karen Walker Walker style Internationally acclaimed New Zealand fashion designer Karen Walker was in Christchurch last month to celebrate the arrival of the Karen Walker 2012 Summer Collection at Rouche in Merivale Mall.
Kare Walken r
She describes her Spring/Summer 2011 Collection ‘Ordinary Day, Perfect Day’ as “colourful, feminine and whimsical, and a signal that summer is on the way.” Walker’s collection was inspired by the dance scene in Northern England in the late 70s; specifically a legendary club there called the Wigan Casino. “We loved the idea of working class kids getting dressed up in their Saturday night best to go dancing all night,” says Walker. The designer brings classic clothing alive with her whimsical prints and eye for detail. There are plenty of frills and ruffles in this range from sheath dresses to even hats, along with floral floaty fabrics and bright orange, blue and mustard colours.

shades for summer
One of the most important accessories for spring and summer mer is of course sunglasses. This season the styles range from om sporty to classic, rock and pop. The frames are smaller than the oversized frames of past seasons. The novelty of this season is coloured frames. Sunglasses not only defend our eyes from the harsh UV rays but also complete our summer outfits. So they are an accessory and a necessity. The trend this season is still your usual oversized frames however they are not as large.

We are seeing classic and simple lady-like sunglasses everywhere this season. Frames are moving away from extravagant shapes and sizes to a chic solid frame that is flattering for the face. Try out a simple circular solid frame with a dark lens for that classic look.

Bags shine in fresh bright colours. Adding a new coloured bag to your collection is an easy, instant way to update your look. Go for neon blue, pink, orange, green or lemon to carry your belongings in style. Hot styles this summer include the clutch and purse. They are easy to carry around and perfect for evening. A classic leather piece is a must for your wardrobe due to its versatility. Larger bags are also prominent this season with the trend being the short strap, so you can still fit absolutely everything in it.

Wavy-edged and panama hats are perfect beach companions this season. They provide protection from the sun while still giving you an elegant look. Pair these hats with high-waisted pants or a maxidress to turn heads.

Big, bold jewellery is another top pick. Collared necklaces, feathered or long dangly earrings and colourful bracelets all make a statement. Geometric, multi-layered and tribal elements add interest to your summer style. Bold and chunky necklaces make a great addition to any dress or top to add that extra something to your outfit. Cuffs are a must have on everyone’s wrist this summer; they can be worn with a casual or dressy outfit. Lastly, the more you can fit on your fingers the better - chunky rings are big this season so it is time to wear all your favourite rings at once. Skinny belts are an attractive way to highlight your silhouette. Team an elegant black or silver belt with an evening outfit to show off your summer body. For a more casual approach a tan or sandstone coloured belt can be all you need to complete your look.

Avon Bridals owner Fran Broad tells us the trends for this coming wedding season incorporate a lot of the perennial favourites but with a soft and feminine twist. Strapless gowns with fitted and ruched bodices and A-line skirts ranging from slim line to full ball-gown styles are still popular. However, the detailing is more towards exquisite lace being used as appliquĂŠ features or as full overlays, embellished with Swarovski crystals and pearls for a very romantic look. Fabrics range from soft and flowing chiffons through to luxurious silks and interesting taffetas and satins. Traditional white and ivory colours are still the most likely choice. However, soft shades of silver and oyster are making an appearance, as are contrast colours being used to accent. Beaded belts, coloured belts adorned with flowers and sheer lace straps are all making an impact this season to complement gowns and add an element of indulgence.

blast from the
past
Yazu Hair Turning back time Kaye Briden from Yazu Hair Lounge was delighted to spend a day in Auckland at Fashion Week with the L’Oreal I.D Team off New Zealand to work on the fashion models hair for the Sabatinii show. Kaye says the hair trends coming through for Spring/Summerr 2011 are a blast from the past with 20s, 30s, late 50s and earlyy 60s styles, that will follow through to next fall as well. “Hair is big, lots of back combing and height around the crown.. Tongs were used on nearly every model with flicks everywhere.. Beautiful buns were big and hair was pulled back off the face.. Rows and rows of foils are out, one colour with soft panels,, beautiful reds, coppers and pure blondes are back,” says Kay. The make-up looks coming though were very fresh. Soft naturall skin and lips with darker smoky eyes or a contrast provide an alll natural look. Sadly the lovely old building that contained Yazu didn’t survive e February’s earthquake. However, Kaye has picked herself up and d is currently renovating the new Yazu Hair Lounge. The new décor or inspired by Grace Kelly and industrial New York will be unique e with a French parlour feel.
