Streets with no name.
I was walking about Seville this morning and was mentally analysing the fashion sense in Spain. I got particularly appealed to this gang that was crowding around behind the Mcdonalds. The girls were acting like superheroes, they were the centre of attention-the guys were as genuienly attracted to the girls bare skin as i was to their attitude and style. They were respected amongst their gang, admired on the streets, and idolized by fashionistas! Is this seasons all about the badgirl "look"? This being both attitude, style and accesories (aka men and bikes)
So this season, unleash your dark, wild, bitchy side and become a bad girl/biker girl for the season!
Black, leather, studs, heels, metal accesories and bikes- this is what the biker girl is made of! (Plus the attitude!)
So this season, unleash your dark, wild, bitchy side and become a bad girl/biker girl for the season!

For all you urban ladies: the Dunks.
This is a little shout out for the ladies who are beautiful eventhough they dismiss make up, high heels and chic dresses. This if for those who like to feel glamorous in their own urban way. I have to admit the main appeal to these Nike dunks are the fact that they feel so unique! You can find over ten colours on each pair of dunks, whilst feeling comfortable and trendy...
My personal favourite, Nike Women Air Force (in lime green, red and purple)
Nike Red Current
For the ones who dare, Nike Rainbow

Bang Bang Bang
Bangles, bangles, bangles! Oh, the joy! Where to begin?
I personally find that bangles will always make your outfit stand out that little more. 'Little' not being the essential word. In bangle dictionary the only words we'll find are "the" "bigger" "the " "better" and "the" "more" "the" "better".
Bangles are the essential accessory to set a defined look, however being very versatile at the same time.
This season, bangles have taken a leap in the fashion "kingdom" and are now at the top of the food chain or more appropiately "accessory chain".

I was walking by Accesorize this aftrenoon and was overwhelmed by the amount of bangles clinging off the walls, all so vastly different! I was most appealed to the new collection the new colours and pattern were all so oriental looking! So i got some research done and found that: Bangles are traditional ornaments worn by Pakistani women and Indian women, especially Hindus.
So, is fashion going back to its roots? Should contempory fashion designers seek new trends by using traditional middle eastern patterns,designs and colour?
Brown, beige and "bamboo-coloured" bangles (being more "discreet") will always give your outfit a boho-chique look. An easy way to achieve a boho look is to go for wooden bangles, they give a modern, high fashion runway look to an everyday outfit, but will also transform into couture accessory when wearing them with a long, flowy hippy chique dresses. Oh, scrumchious!

However, i love clashing bangles with outfits! Mix n' match! Make your bangles stand out by perhaps matching your bangles with a clutch or nail varnish! As this seasons trend is all about colour, if your not 100% convinced by going all out bold, just hint colour by using a colourful bangle! Or two!

Be BOLD
Laura and I laughed when we read this month's Vogue magazine in Portugal. We pretty much covered the main trends for S/S '09. But there was one small detail we failed to mention: colour.
I'm one of those people who'd rather look flattering that look trendy. I suppose it has to do with my not-so-skinny physique, but the truth is I'll only put on a colour that actually suits me. After looking at a couple of runway looks though, I think I may be willing to risk a little bit this season; let's see if I'm not the only one I've managed to convince.
