Working the 60s trend has never been so easy! Celebrities such as Kerry Washington and Liv Tyler are fans of this style and it’s no surprise really. Ladylike glamour has never looked so good!
The shift dress is the key to this trend. This frock design is versatile, flattering and ultra chic. From polka dot styles to plain coloured designs there is one for every body shape. Shift dresses are also really versatile too and can be worn from day to night with the simple change of accessories.
Add a pair of retro style sunglasses, a classic patent grab bag and a flower necklace to your day outfit. Little heels will complete the look. For the evening why not choose an embellished style shift dress and team it with an oversized envelope clutch and chunky Mary Jane heels. If you really want to up the glamour and take this trend to the next step then start backcombing your hair for volume and style!

It seems the colour gold is making a comeback and is not just for parties and evening functions anymore! Actress Emmy Rossum was recently spotted adorning this gorgeous shade and looked utterly stunning in a gold skirt worn with a simple black top.
Gold looks good incorporated into day and night outfits and is a great colour if you want to make a statement at special occasions. A gold floor length maxi dress nipped in at the waist with a skinny belt will definitely get eyes turning your way! For a sexy evening drinks look, team a gold shade t-shirt with a pair of skinny jeans or leggings and platform heels to give your pins extra length! If you don’t want to go all out on this trend then there are plenty of ways to flaunt it subtly. A gold clutch for parties will add that extra wow factor to outfits or why not wear a pair of gold wedges with your summer looks. The possibilities are endless ladies!

The classic colour combo black and white is a must-have look to be seen in at the moment and it is incredibly chic! Seen on the catwalks of Chloe and Chanel, I really love this trend as it is super versatile. Just think of all the outfit variations you can come up with!
Monochrome can be worn to any occasion as the style possibilities are endless. Wear white on top and black on bottom for a figure flattering effect or choose black and white stripes to create curves. You could also combine contrasting textures to add interest if you fear looking too bland and add flashes of colour to update your looks such as a skinny belt or a clutch bag. This way your look will remain clean and classic minimalist.
Why not even splash a bright red shade on your lips to achieve a Parisian chic look!
