Dressing for work doesn’t mean you have to play it safe. There are plenty of ways to make you stand out from the crowd in a chic and stylish way. From bright coloured office-friendly bags to beautiful jewellery - you’ll be one trendy working girl this Spring/Summer 2011!
Brighten up your work wardrobe with a ‘loud’ shade handbag in red, blue, green or yellow. A perfect way of adding colour to an outfit and was seen on the Fendi, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Prada catwalk shows. You don’t need to spend your whole bank savings though as Mimi Berry do a handy summer satchel in either yellow or red for under £300! Or maybe even choose a bag which flaunts enough compartments to hold all your vital work items.

I’m head over heels in love with Karen Millen’s Spring/Summer 2011 Collection! Beautifully tailored dresses, tops, skirts and jackets are fused with colourful brights and gorgeous prints to make a sophisticated yet versatile range.
This latest collection incorporates a few of Spring/Summer 2011’s hottest trends which will make you one stylish fashionista! Bright feminine colours such as blue, red, green, yellow and orange adorn skirts and dresses in block form to create interesting styles whilst the biker jacket adds a subtle edge to a gorgeous floral print dress – which fits in perfectly with the oversized flowers trend!
The minimalistic trend can be seen in this Spring/Summer collection too. Simple chic dresses and tops in white and nude shades make for effortless, serene, fuss free looks. The neutral tones provide clean cut, cleverly constructed pieces and is the perfect opposite to the brights trend!

Pop-sensation Lady Gaga can be seen gracing the cover of Vogue’s March Power Issue sporting a chic pink bob and a daring, gorgeous dress. The image was captured by one of my favourite photographers of all time, Mario Testino, and more images of the pop star can be found inside. One of which she is elegantly flaunting an over the top, yet stunning, feather dress.
Lady Gaga
I have to admit I am extremely jealous of Gaga. She can put on any outfit or style and look utterly fabulous in it! So not fair…
Marchesa brought out a stunning feather dress not too long ago which was worn by Brazilian beauty Camilla Belle. The gorgeous white number was a perfect choice for subtle evening glamour!

If you want to use Lady Gaga as your style inspiration then why not sport a feather outfit yourself – or even just choose a feather adorned accessory such as a bag or a headband. If you want to accessorise a feather dress though keep your choices simple. You want all focus on the dress!
