A Chic Trend: Prints

May 22, 2012 in Fashion

We’ve already covered the colour trends from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia (MBFWA) and we’ve also taken a closer look at the peplum trend. Another wearable trend to emerge from MBFWA are prints. Subtle. Bold. Digital. Clashing. The fun of prints is that you can wear them in any way that suits your style.

Here are some pieces that can easily be imprinted in your wardrobe…

Tops

A simple way to add a print to an outfit is to go for a printed top. It’s also incredibly versatile, as you can wear a printed blouse with your suit to work or a printed top with jeans and ballet flats on the weekend.

Lucy In The Sky ‘Miss Freaky’ Top ($39.00)

ModCloth ‘Love Letterpress’ Top ($49.99)

Nasty Gal ‘Starburst’ Top ($38.00)

Bottoms

A fun way to rock the print trend is to do it down below…! Printed pants, skirts or leggings are a fab way to add a point of interest to an otherwise simple outfit.

Junk ‘Everlong’ Pant from Freez (on sale $20.00)

Cocolatte Purple Snake Print Skirt ($14.99)

Supre ‘Essex’ Printed Tights ($20.00)

Dresses

And finally the ultimate way to make a statement with prints – the dress. For day or evening, a print dress is a great go-to and instant outfit for embracing the print trend.

Will you be wearing prints this Spring/Summer 2012-13?

Answer Me Chic: Top Your Winter

April 24, 2012 in Fashion

With Winter popping its head around the corner, we received a tweet from Steph of Lipstick & Cake:

“Hi @ShopMeChic! I need your help. Looking for casual tops for winter (not jumpers though). Suggestions?”

Winter is the best season for layering, so a big thick jumper is not always necessary. Here are some gorgeous Winter tops that you can make work for you…

Raglan Tees

Cute and casual, raglan tees have a sporty feel and look great with a pair of jeans, a vest and some Converse sneakers.

Stussy ‘Rowery’ Raglan from General Pants ($59.95)

All About Eve ‘Westside’ Raglan from The Iconic ($49.95)

Mad Love ‘Mi Amigo’ Raglan from SurfStitch ($69.95)

The Tunic

The tunic is a personal favourite of mine. It looks fabulous on its own or over leggings, tights or jeans. A versatile piece that every woman should definitely have in her wardrobe as it suits most body types. Belt it, wear it loose…whatever your choice, embrace the tunic!!

Katies 3/4 Sleeve Animal Print Tunic ($49.95)

Sportsgirl Bretton Stripe Tunic ($59.95)

Mossée Scoop Neck Ruffle Side Tunic from The Iconic ($175.95)

Oversized Shirt

And another favourite of mine…!! The oversized shirt can either be casual or dressy, worn to work during the week or socialising on the weekend. Here are a few that can be worn whenever, wherever.

 Bardot ‘Palermo’ Blouse ($69.95)

Yarra Trail ‘Abstract’ Shirt from Birdsnest ($109.00)

Sussan Pintuck Check Shirt ($79.95)

The Kaftan

Who says a kaftan has to be restricted to the beach and holidays in Bali?! The kaftan has a part-boho, part-rock’n'roll vibe to it and can be paired with leggings, jeans or leather pants. Shake it up and try rocking a kaftan.

Suboo ‘Laguna Beach’ Mini Kaftan from The Iconic ($249.00)

Boom Shankar ‘Nenni Kurta’ Kaftan from Birdsnest ($79.00)

Camilla ‘Fethiye’ Lace Up Kaftan ($429.00)

There you go Steph, four different alternatives to a jumper. Hopefully this post has inspired your Winter wardrobe just a little.
