waiting for the sun....

Spring is around the corner and so among many other things, its time to get excited about the latest trends and collections that will be hitting the stores pretty soon. I spy pretty feminine hints and cheeky mix and match looks. Other than that a lot of sporty looks have started appearing all around the fashionable blog sphere. Ohh, and its hard to ignore all the neon colour injected everywhere. There is also a lot of print on print, usually achieved with mixing florals and futuristic patterns.

For me personally, its always fun to find out what will be 'in' for the coming season because i love mulling over latest trends to figure out which ones i can incorporate into my wardrobe, where the focus is always on modesty before anything else.

For spring summer 2012 trends, I'm loving the feminine feel that was showcased by Louis Vuitton for example. The collection was so poetic, flowery and most importantly very feminine.

This look is easily adapted into modest wear. I'd go for flowy maxi dresses or skirts with vintage looking blouses, in different shades of pastels, teamed with cute floral hijabs.

I bought this Asos dress a few seasons back but never got around to wearing it. Think its time to dig it out of the back of my wardrobe for the coming season.
As for the neon trend id pretty much keep that the accessories department, unless i am feeling extremely brave. This Asos clutch is perfect for adding a splash of colour to any spring outfit and the fact that its so affordable only makes me want it more.

Will discuss some of the other trends that will surely be hitting the shops soon, in the next post inshaAllah. For now i have a few very hungry kiddies lurking around my kitchen trying to find snacks before dinner, so i must run and prevent that disaster from happening.
