quick nail post #6.

Taking a break from all the glitters I had used over the festive season, I felt like going really dark with my nails.
Also, I had a little break from it, but I am falling back in love with matte nails.

Late last year I attended some awesome press days where I got to see what new looks and styles fashion would bring us in the new season. Let's look at this post as the first of a mini series.

                                                                      

Stefanel did well in presenting to us a familiar but reformed take on Spring/Summer fashion. Classic trends such as pastels, floral prints and bright colours were transformed using trends that are not necessarily characteristic of this season.
Pairing these highlights with fine knits, bold prints, embellishments and darker colours is a very unique approach. Neutral hues are used as a nice balance, with light and flowy materials used to create unstructured silhouettes.
They experimented with colour when creating their accessories, adding texture for a fresher look. We see softer neon tones paired with leather; a fraction of femininity in a look.

Here are some pictures I took from the day, bringing the descriptions to life.

And finally, my favourite looks from the official lookbook.

Shop the new collection online at Stefanel, or visit one of their concessions or their boutique on Kings Road, London.

What are your favourite SS13 trends so far?

I have to say 2012 was an awesome year for me, and 2013 will only be better!

Here are a few random pictures that I took when I was out and about this year that never made it into any previous posts.

Enjoy :)
