Spring has sprung down under. I'm looking forward to some sunshine.
I just sent out my September newsletter, you can read it here.

This makes me wish spring would come soon. All the shops are starting to fill with pretty floral dresses .

Wet behind the ears

Spring races are coming up, and there are lots of gorgeous feathers at work. There is something quite soft yet stunning about feathers.

Shoes

It seems there are some crazy trends going on in shoes right now, designers seem to be pushing the limits, becoming more daring, innovative and playful.

Spring is coming

This post is only really relevant to those of us in the southern hemisphere.
I'm absolutely freezing, and still wearing many layers, but I have noticed the shops are already gearing up for spring. And the look for spring is frilly skirts, light floral dresses and blouses, belted volume and denim.

I made a little collage on polyvore, to give you a sense of the up coming spring trends. if you are keen to know more about spring fashion trends visit fashion-era, they go through the trends in more detail.
