trendsetter saturday; the floral headband

It seems like all the other spring summer trends are having their moments; cobalt, floral pants, printed pants, tropicana vibe; but one trend that I feel is being underrated, is the floral headband. A particular style that I love are the ones that are sported by none other than Lana Del Rey. It compliments any girly outfit very well (and even grungy would you believe), and also softens the look. Here’s some of my favourite styling of headbands from bloggers and celebrities.

Flower headbands are such nice additions for any style maven and will enhance your summer outfit whereas big floral crowns can make a bold statement and they are both perfect for summer!

Why cobalt is going to be spring summer 2012/13 favourite primary colour...

Although this colour has been a staple peice for Autumn Winter 2012, I think that cobalt will be making a huge comeback for Spring Summer 2012/13. August 15 2012, Spring Summer 2012/13 for David Jones, showcased some amazing colours, prints and fabrics, all that were mind blowingly stunning; from bright devil red's to vivid green to paint sbloched fabrics to my favourite of all cobalt. Although all eyes were very much on Miranda Kerr's jaw dropping figure, I think one key look to come out of this show was cobalt; the perfect primary colour.

“What I love is the use of colour this season,” said Kerr at the pre-show rehearsal. Bright colours went on to dominate most of the show including Jessica Gomes in neon by Camilla & Marc, Julia Nobis in scarlet lace by Scanlan & Theodore, Bambi Northwood-Blyth in florals by Josh Goot, and Rose Smith in Bianca Spender’s flowing teal satin.

This had to be one of my favourites to come out of the show; a long cobalt flowing frock by Roopa Pemmaraju.

Whether sported as socks, a gorgeous boyfriend blazer, a tailored dress or a flowing frock, you can literally dash a bit of cobalt into your style whichever way you like. Cobalt is also a great combination with prints; geometric/floral.

trend spotting; mbfwa 2012 - print on print

Designers show a blind eye to the famous colour-blocking trend of last year, sporting more geometric, tropical and floral prints, with a particular mention to prints upon prints. Don't be afraid to team a bundle of mish mashed designs. I am seeing a strong focus away from less is more to just role with it type of feel.
