Sperry Top-Sider has been making luxury footwear since 1935 and has managed to establish itself as one of the USA’s most iconic nautical brands. The inventor of the brand, eponymous Paul Sperry, is responsible for inventing the world’s first boat shoe, and it still remains today. In 2012, their range is vast, eclectic and brimming with class – I had no idea so many different types of boat shoe existed!

This season, designers have really gone all out to bring us fashion lovers and shoppers a pleasant mix of feminine trends which will help bring life to dull, muted wardrobes. Spring/Summer 2012 is set to be ultra girly whilst still appealing to a variety of women.
Angelic seems to sum up the iridescent trend. Colours that seem to change when seen from different angles provide a feminine flare to spring. At first glance it may seem subtle, but don’t be fooled – these exquisite garments can be attention grabbing. Materials used to create this trend are usually sequins, metallic tread or lacquered surface as seen on the catwalks of Marc Jacobs, Christian Dior and Versace.

One of my favourite trends for this season is peplum detailing. It is a short flared, gathered or pleated strip of fabric attached at the waist on a woman’s piece of clothing to create a hanging frill or flounce. Extremely lady like and curve enhancing and was incorporated into the clothing of Giorgio Armani, David Koma and Zac Posen to bring femininity to their collections. Peplums are usually a classic couture detail but they are finally making their mark on the high street.

Lace adorned stunning floor length evening dresses on the catwalks of Roberto Cavalli, Pucci and Jonathan Saunders. One of this season’s most beautiful and feminine trends which can add a luxury edge to clothing. Gorgeous lace detailing was even incorporated into sweet day dresses and skirts too.

It may seem strange to be thinking of the Autumn/Winter 2012 collections as we haven’t quite made it to spring yet, but designers have already given us fashionistas a sneak peek as to what is in store.
One of my favourite brands, Temperley London, has some gorgeous pieces in their Pre-Fall 2012 range made up of beautiful colours and shapes that will have us wanting more! There is a definite dreamlike, ethereal essence which flows through the pieces and some have a real old glamour feel to them. The looks are complimented by lady like accessories such as pearl jewellery and long elegant leather gloves, taking inspiration from the Royals themselves.
Luxury detailing such as gold brocade, sequin and diamante adorn long flowing dresses then teamed with pieces like the whiskey-coloured silk mac. A combination which you wouldn’t necessarily think would work but will sure to be the must-have look of AW12. Chunky cardigans worn with silk dresses provide a stunning contrast whilst chunky belts are used to cinch in the waist.
Gorgeous prints adorn dresses in shades of fuchsia and green to bring vibrancy to the collection that can be easily worn from day to night. Black and white pieces are teamed together to create classic elegant outfits keeping the range flowing. Silk wrap shawl collar blouses tucked into high waisted trousers and beautiful skirts enhanced the British vibe of the collection. The stylish leather trousers provided the youthful edge and were contrasted perfectly with embellished tunics.
Although we have a while to wait for Temperley London’s Pre-Fall 2012 Collection you can pick up pieces from the high street which evoke the gorgeous trends being featured. It is designers like this which make me proud to be British!
