What to Expect on the High Street Next Spring

FabSugarUK — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:00:54 -0800

Attending catwalk shows and reporting back is always exciting, but when you see the High Street interpretations it gives you an idea of how the trends will really manifest. Yesterday, Arcadia held their Spring press day which presented the items due to hit store from January 2010. Although I can't show you any images just yet (patience is a virtue!) I wanted to tell you a bit about what to expect.

First up, I checked out Miss Selfridge which was very girly. It was divided in to two key trends; neutrals and '90s florals. There were nude shades covered in sequins for flapper style dresses with subtle jacquard floral prints and delicate feminine fabrics. These were contasted against bright, floral prints, grungey designs and '90s boho.

Next up was Topshop, which is always the most trend driven of the High Street stores. They split the Spring collection in to four key themes; body armour, la latina, meadow and techno traveller. Body armour was my favourite part with sportswear inspired designs and '90s column maxi dresses. La latina is the high Summer collection with bright fun prints, whilst meadow is a bit more subdued with soft floral prints. Finally, techno traveller will appeal to festival fans as pieces were bright, cheerful with embellishment and fringing.

Trend Alert: Multi Buckle Heels

FabSugarUK — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 10:00:17 -0700

Earlier in the Summer, I reported that many celebrities had been spotted wearing Christian Louboutin's Differa heels which are high and feature many straps and tiny buckles. The trend has now spread throughout the footwear world as one buckle just doesn't seem to cut it anymore.

If you want to indulge in this look then you need to consider at least three buckles on your heels, if not more, and the higher the heel the better! Kurt Geiger's Harlow heels (£140) are great for making a statement although I wouldn't advise walking too far in them. For a cheaper alternative, New Look have the multi buckle platforms (£50) which are great for the end of Summer.

Multi Buckle Platform - £50.00	Grey Snake Buckle Platform - £45.00
Tan three buckle platform shoes - £35.00	MELISSA BY VIVIENNE WESTWOOD - 3-buckle plastic shoe - £109.00
KG Harlow - £140.00	Black Multi Strap High Shoe - £35.00
STRICTLY Multi Buckle Shoe - £65.00	SURREAL Multi Buckle Shoe - £70.00

It might not seem like a very exciting item, but a vest is an integral part of your festival wardrobe. If you're lucky enough to get some sunshine then it's a great way to build up a tan, and if it's cold then it will be the ideal item to layer up. As British weather is very unpredictable, you will find yourself constantly putting on and taking off clothes to acclimatise! Here are some funky tops from the High Street which will see you through to Reading and Leeds.
