One of the more feminine spring trends that we saw over the catwalks was the full skirt. This was apparent on several catwalks including D&G, Moschino and Prada, the full skirt can be part of a dress or worn as an individual skirt with separate top. It is a great item for the warmer months if you’re not keen on showing too much leg, the longer, fuller skirt can have great impact without being too revealing.

You could team full skirts with the floral trend and have a combination look, or if the fullness of the skirt is statement enough, then go for a plainer skirt and team with a delicate blouse or plain tank top for a more casual look.

Don’t be afraid to try full skirts, they can suit all so long as you find the right length that suits you. Pairing the skirt with simple ballet pumps can help soften the look or pair with classic court shoes to enhance your legs.

Here are some of my high street favourites:

This Oasis skirt via ASOS would be a great piece to add to your working wardrobe, or a comfortable item to wear out shopping! £45

Carven via Net-a-porter £335 – this is a lovely day / evening dress that could be dressed up or down to suit multiple occasions.

By Zoe via John Lewis £160 – great to wear to the races or a summer garden party – a hair piece would compliment this dress perfectly.

Paisley prints will be everywhere by summer and I cant wait. The designers have taken this Indian heritage print and transformed the print into great wearable pieces for the catwalk.

This print can be worn in many ways and can really transform looks and update your wardrobe for summer.

Jill Sander, has some key Spring/Summer looks on the catwalk and has used the print head to toe as well as teamed with shorts and skirts.

Pencil skirts will also be a strong look again this season, a great way to show off your feminine curves!

Colour blocking is also still on trend and bold colours will still be around, this dress by Etro £625 is the perfect mix of print and colour perfect for summer teamed with sandals.

The paisley print is so wearable and can be easily added to existing items in your wardrobe. This dress form Reiss £106 in the sale still! Is a gorgeous dress and perfect for the in-between season.

The print trend is rapidly changing all the time from floral to bird prints, but I think the paisley print is such a wearable design. A paisley dress will be the key item to be wearing and will look chic for summer teamed with wedges or sandals!

Trends are always changing, but getting a couple of pieces to add to your wardrobe will be a great way to freshen up your look for summer.  Keep following our Facebook and Twitter for style tips and fashion news!

SS12 is all about candy colours and soft pastels! Lemon yellows, pretty pinks and cool hues of blues and mint will be filling the shops!

Already there are some gorgeous pieces that would be a great addition to your wardrobe!

Pastel colours are a brilliant way of adding colour without being too bold. Colour blocking will still be on trend but will be less vibrant and replaced with a soft palette.

Many designers demonstrated this trend on the catwalk such as Erdem, J.Crew and Louis Vuitton!

I love the soft fabrics and the tones of colours being used. Here is a selection of  a few  pieces spotted on the high street,  that will ease you into spring!

This cotton sweater from Zara £19.99 is a perfect piece. This is such a versitile top and can be worn with jeans and skirts a great item to mix and match with your existing wardrobe.

Next this pretty pink peplum dress from Moschino £240, this dress is stunning and fitted at the waist, while  accentuating curves. A gorgeous dress for spring and also good for any occasions over summer. This dress can be worn in many ways and can be teamed with heels, flats and wedges! Overall a brilliant investment item!

For a hint of pastel colours this blouse from Topshop £18.00, is a easy way to have a hint of colour and be stylish at the same time. This blouse is so effortless and can also be dressed up with a skirt or worn casually with a pair of jeans, this is great for the weekends, for a relaxed casual look!
