SPRING TRENDS

Hello!

 I've noticed quite a few trends approaching this Spring season, and I am loving them all. These are a few things I have noticed coming into trend, and are being worn a lot by the public.

Trend No.1:

When people hear the words 'Hoop Earrings' they mostly think of chav, tacky, or over the top. However, after seeing a lot of people who aren't chavvy, or tacky wearing hoop earrings this immediately struck me that hoop earrings are a new trend. I recently purchased some myself, and I'm loving them a lot. The simplicity of a simple gold circle looks so beautiful with any outfit-whether that be plain, or extravagant, a hoop earring goes with anything.

 

 Nicole Scherzinger pulls off the classic hoop earring very well at the IHeartRadio Music Festival with her dazzling sequined blazer, and white top. Like I said, hoop earrings can be worn with anything because of how simple they are, but add an elegant touch when paired with the right clothing.

I'm unsure as to how these became more popular, but I've seen many shops stocking them as a staple rather then a general on-sale item which shows how popular these are gradually becoming.







Trend No.2:

Every year pastels make an appearance, whether they appear in; clothing, accessories, shoes, or make-up, they're everywhere! Pastels are usually worn all year round, but make a debut during Spring time as that's when the weather starts to get not only brighter, but warmer too, so more subtle colours are needed to match the blossoming of flowers rather then deep colours attracting the heat rays, and being too bold for such sights.

Pastels are being worn in recent runway shows so it's definitely making a big appearance once again, but I feel this year it's going to be bigger than ever.

I love how pastels are so simple and easy to pull off, and also flatter everyone due to the amount of varieties pastel clothing is styled in. Also, you can pick your-most flattering style, and wear it with whatever silhouette flatters you.





Trend No.3:

Another accessory that's coming into season are 'Scrunchies.' Scrunchies were first worn in the 1980's to the mid 1990's, and after 24 years they've made an appearance into fashion once again. I used to wear scrunchies when I was in Lower School as it came with my uniform, but I never thought that at the age of 15 I'd be wearing one again as a fashion statement-rather then a utensil to tie my hair up with.

American Apparel were one of the shops that re-introduced scrunchies, then Topshop started selling them, and from there on they became back as a trend.

Not only do they look extremely cute and edgy, but they also don't feel uncomfortable and don't pull on the hair strands tightly because of the fabric layer outside the elastic.

Scrunchies are sold in so

many different colours and varieties that they can be worn with any outfit, and styled in so many different ways which is why they're so fabulous and popular.

Trend No.4:

I never thought I'd see skorts become a trend, I've only ever seen them as a sporting essential, however I was wrong as skorts are now making their way to catwalks. Tartan was a main staple for Autumn/Winter, and it appears that an element of Scotland is going to remain throughout Spring with skorts mainly being sold in tartan which isn't very Spring like at all, however they still look adorable and look lovely on a night out when the atmosphere is more dark to suit the dark tartan print.

 As you can see, skorts are usually paired with something plain depending on whether the skort is made out of a patterned fabric or not. As the one in the picture is tartan, I would expect it to be worn with something plain because the skort should be the main focus of the outfit as it's so unique.

The way skorts have been transformed from a sporting clothes item to a fashion item is very clever, and Vogue have also recently advertised that sportswear is the new everyday clothing, so I expect to see a lot more sport style trends.

There are more trends about at the moment, but these are the main ones that have caught my eye.

 

HAPPY EASTER!

Hello and Happy Easter!

Today it is Easter Sunday, the time families can get together and celebrate. I went to my Stepdad's parents house for a gathering, and I got to see my step Nieces and Nephews which are oh so cute!

As you may know, Lent began on 13th February. I gave up chocolate which was very hard for me as I adore it, but I have managed to not eat one bit of chocolate until today-which is when Lent is over. If you know me then you know I love love love chocolate, and giving up chocolate has caused me to change the things I eat on a daily basis.

Normally, I would have a chocolate shake in the mornings whereas I had to change it to strawberry shakes instead. When I get in from school I would snack on something chocolaty, but instead I would have bagels or a piece of fruit. As hard as it was giving up a delicacy, it has enlightened me that I can do something as long as I set my mind to it. In addition, I now eat more healthily. Although I did indeed eat alot of chocolate today as it is Easter, but now in my day to day life I will now substitute unhealthy snacks for fruit and only have the occasional chocolate.

I have to admit, today I did overdose on the chocolate as I hadn't had it in what felt like forever, but surprisingly it took me rather a long time to put the chocolate in my mouth. As weird as it sounds, I felt like I had come so far in not eating something I love, and just to give it up like that was quite sad. Not long after, I did eventually scoff down alot of chocolate and have demolished most of my eggs-oops. I do feel proud of myself that I managed to do lent and said no to something I adore, if you gave up something for lent and managed to not eat it for the period of time then you have all my congratulations.

This post was more or less just a little update of what I've been doing for the past 1 1/2 ish months, but next Sunday or sometime during the week I'll upload a beauty post to make up for this just being a chatty one.

Post Update

I am going to be changing the way I do the Weekly Wishlists. Before ,I would post one every 3rd Sunday, but as I am slowly running out of shops to do I will upload a Weekly Wishlist whenever-this may be once a month or one every 2 months, but I'm slowly running out of shops. Eventually I will have to end up repeating some shops, but stocks change and no items will be the same. I'll change the name of the Weekly Wishlists to Wishlists because they aren't weekly anymore.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you had/have a lovely Easter!
