What It's All About

I am a woman in my early 20's, on an average salary that disappears on bills, rent, food...GONE! However, I still manage to keep on top of fashion trends; in fact it's a passionate obsession. I pound the high street in heels hunting for the ultimate fashion find. I have fashion magazines glued to my hands, a costly fixation with handbags and a belief that accessories are the base for any outfit...yes; I will plan an entire outfit around a new watch, earrings or ring! So, my reason for starting a blog? I have to share all my top tips and fabulous finds with someone! My boyfriend seems somewhat un-interested in all this. I always have something I want to shout about, so be prepared! Signing off. BB x

The Biggest Trend - Lingerie

Ermanno Scervino - Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010
Well, last year we probably all dabbled in the "underwear as outer wear" look. I have to say, it wasn't a look that worked for me. But this year I am very excited about the Lingerie Trend. Mixing pretty lace with smart tailoring is very appealing, and incredibly sexy. Instead of wearing a bra over a plain tee like last year, which frankly looked like you didn't understand the concept of getting dressed in the morning; just replace a camisole for a corset. Or why not wear a chemise tucked into shorts, topped off with a blazer.
Play with the idea until you find a look that you feel confident and comfortable with. This doesn't mean arriving at the office in your dressing gown and slippers. That may be over stepping the line a little.
If you don't master this one, don't panic. It isn't a trend for everyone, if it doesn't work, don't wear it.
Have fun.
