Tropical Heat

After an array soggy bank holiday barbecues and rainy weekends, the sun has finally made an appearance. It's that glorious time of year again; meaning our wardrobes have suddenly got a lot more interesting. Drab shades of grey and black have been replaced with a rainbow of  luminous brights, sumptuous prints and strappy sandals.

For a fresh look this season, invest in a chic pair of printed trousers. This tropical Miss Selfridge pair make for a vivid summer look; the floral print injects splashes of neon and evokes images of sultry rain forests and scorching summer heats. Over load on colour and team your zesty prints with a bold crop top. This acid yellow beauty is a spring time staple. The high neck line adds an elegant touch, while still allowing you to show off your tanned midriff. Team your outfit with a block heel, gold accessories and a massive pair or sunglasses to keep the look catwalk cool.

Spring Greens

The pastel parade has been in town all winter and it seems to be staying for S/S too but that doesn't mean we can't indulge in a little bit of neon now and again. Pale pinks and subtle lavenders have been splashed on our outfits for months and they have even found their way into our make up bags - but now the sun is beginning to shine and the evenings are getting lighter - it's time to inject some of that brightness into our wardrobes. Take a trip to your local Topshop and pick up this grass green garment. The strappy dress is perfect for lazy Sundays in the park and looks equally as gorgeous on a night out sipping a Pinot or two. Make your outfit a real talking point and accessorize this jade beauty with a kitsch necklace. This adorable bird chain is from Topshop and really accentuates the look. Inject an extra pinch of personality and add some shades to your dishevelled hair. Now you can infuse some sunshine into your look - even if it's not actually shining...

Neon for Spring

If the pastel trend isn't quite scratching your colour itch - head to Miss Selfridge and invest in this neon floral number. The subtle grey background makes a refreshing background choice as black and white can become boring. An array of bright pinks, purples and oranges are sprinkled all over this dress and it is all tied together with a neon yellow belt. Add a matching yellow bag to really make the colour really pop. Gun metal coloured jewellery works best with grey - but try not to over do it. Add a couple of rings or a simple bracelet to keep the outfit interesting but let the dress do most of the talking. Lovers of all things bright and beautiful can rejoice - the neon trend is back and it's bigger than ever.

Leather Sparkles

We've all been there. You've been invited on a night out and you can't decide on what to wear. Do you wrap up in a body con dress, lace yourself in leather or shimmer in sequins? Why not go for all three? Leather is the perfect choice for winter, not only does it give off a sexy rock chick vibe - it also keeps you warm on these chilly winter nights. Leather can be a a tricky material to wear - it can make petite frames look bulky and cling to our awkward lumps and bumps. Bin your loose fitting leather and replace it with a skin tight dress; it will keep its shape all night and hold you in without a pair of Spanx in sight. To keep the dress from looking too gothic -  go for an embellished number. Gun metal silver jewels go with leather the best - add a little silver clutch and plain black shoes to finish off the look. For added glamour - pop a pair of sunglasses on and perfect your pout - this is a look that's going to grab attention.

Punk Princess

Tick off two trends and invest in a tartan pencil skirt. The figure skimming skirt shows off your feminine curves without having to freeze your little legs off in a mini. The 90s are still a huge influence this season and featured heavily at LWF. An array of models and street stylers were spotted reviving the era by wandering around Somerset House in tartan, studs and leather. Punk icons such as the Sex Pistols, Debbie Harry and Courtney Love appear to have inspired the latest collections hitting the catwalks. Team your tartan with with a simple black vest. Embellish your outfit in as many gold chains and studs you can find. Don't be scared to pile on the bling; more is definitely more. To finish off the look, rough up your hair and slick on a pair of over sized shades. Not only will they give you a cool rock star vibe - they do a pretty good job of a late night or two...
