With 'Zoo' being another trend expected to delight the shops with its presents this season why not tackle two trends in one and create an oriental animal of a garment?!

Summery of Spring/ Summer 2013 Style

Dare I say it the weather is improving as time speeds on into the year. Forward fashion thoughts are being brought to the front momentarily with all the top RTW collections being showcased (, check out style.com for the latest coverage of your favourite designers). But, with the sunshine starting to sneak through all the trends of the current season need gathering, summarised and simplified into the start of a shipping list.
So my head is a hive of activity so this spider diagram maybe a little baffling for those who don't know how my head works but do not worry over the next few posts I intend to address the aspects of individual importance that are in style this season!
