Fab and Fun Orange Fashion and Beauty Buys For Spring!

Spring is in the air.
Giambattista Valli at ShopStyle

Spring is in the air. The weather is really beginning to perk up, and that means little buds are starting to form in all of the gardens. Some Spring seasons are all about pastels, but this year April showers bring bright colours!

I am especially loving all of the orange that's making its way back into stores, like this amazing Silk Chiffon Dress from Giambattista Valli (£1,045). Just look at the layers and its swish potential on the dance floor. Ok, so I can't exactly afford it, but it sure is purdy.

Seasons down under are the opposite to those in the northern hemisphere so of course their fashion week follows a slightly different pattern. Over the past week, some of the countries biggest fashion names have been presenting their Spring/Summer collections in Sydney. Remember, this is a country that doesn't really do Winter so they know a thing or two about Summer styling. Click through to see some of the top names from the week including Tsubi and Alice McCall.

Trend Alert

Uniqlo at ShopStyle

Add a luxurious feel to your wardrobe this Spring by investing in a wardrobe staple in a luxury fabric. Silk vests are great because they can be dressed up with tailored trousers and heels, or dressed down with jeans or shorts.

There are many great styles available right now and they're not as pricey as you might think. Topshop have a girly zip front version (£35) which is perfect for this season's pastel trend. There is also a plain longline vest (£20) from Debenhams. Do you like silk vests?

Eugenie and Beatrice Join Royals to Enjoy Easter

Several members of the Royal family attended the traditional Easter Sunday church service at St George's Chapel in Windsor this weekend.

Several members of the Royal family attended the traditional Easter Sunday church service at St George's Chapel in Windsor this weekend. The Queen and Prince Philip were joined by Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Princess Anne plus Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who both dared to bare their legs. Unfortunately Princes William and Harry were absent, but the crowds were thrilled to see the other members of the monarchy, and I love seeing the Windsors get together for religious events and family weddings. Beatrice has recently spoken about the pressures of being in the public eye, but she finds ways to take advantage of her fame for good causes, like running the London Marathon later this month.
