Because it's the end of another year, I've decided to take a look back at this years biggest trends. From Maxi dresses to Camel coats and Denim to leather. When I was younger at the end of each year I'd look back at all my fashion magazines I had bought that year, cut out my favorite pieces of clothing and styles and make a small scrap book about them. I haven't made one this year, so this is what I am doing instead :)
Doubling up on denim was all over the place during the Spring/Summer 2010 trend. All in all, I can't say I had the guts to wear so much denim, but I regret never getting a small denim waistcoat. I got my very own denim shirt from ebay for a tenner, I still wear it and it's originally from topshop. But I never wore it with jeans or shorts, I always wore it with simple black leggings cause Im a bit of a pussy.

One trend I did follow this Autumn/Winter was Camel colours. I have practically lived in my camel beige coat this season, it's become my favorite coat. I bought it in Miss Selfridge for £55, I never spend that much on clothes but it was obviously worth it. I bought so many brown, camel and beige bags cause of this trend, but I only went along with it cause i guess it's one of my favorite colours and I'll still use every single one of them on a weekly basis.

Another look this year was ruffles. I can honestly say I never bought into this one, but then again I dont buy much high street things anymore it's mainly charity shops. I'm lucky this came into fashion, cause im currently designing a ruffle dress for my textiles design piece. I took my inspiration from sea life and coral so I have a lot of things from recent styles to study to help me design it. This piece was designed by Valentino's spring/summer collection and I found it on the vogue website.

Dolce and Gabbana Autumn and Winter collection started off 2010 lace trend. I love how a lace top can give this glamourous look to an outfit even if its worn without effort. I have recently bought a kookai lace black lace shirt from a charity shop for £2.50 which is beautiful. I like to wear it with my plain black high waist skirt and bright red lip stick.

Then there is Fur, which was eveywhere this winter, I posted a look not long ago of my vintage fur coat I have found, but haven't got around to wearing it much lately. This picture is a fur coat that was part of Roberto Cavalli's Autumn/Winter collection
Other trends this year included...
Maxi dresses, Underwear as outerwear, Leopard prints, Sheepskin, Shorts, Festival Style, Man shoes - brogues, Cigarette trousers, Leather, Big Bows, Minimalism.
Love this post, its crazy to think that all those trends are so long ago..but to be honest its nice to see that alot of them are still really valid & havent just been tiny burst trends.
