It's march so, despite it still being a little chilly, I'm announcing it as ok to talk about spring/summer clothing. And a trend that I am really excited about this season is retro. This will be full of prom-esque tea dresses, high waisted clothing and, of course, statement red lips. Think Audrey Hepburn with a modern twist and you're there. I love sixties fashion so I am ecstatic that the shops will be crammed full of sixties style clothing, it just sounds like heaven!

This look centres around the gorgeous retro prom-style dress. Polka-dots seem to be everywhere at the moment which I think adds to the retro vibe of this dress. I kept the accessories of this look a very neutral tone with the bag, watch and little ankle boots the same colour in order for the stunning flower necklace to pop out and truly make a statement. I thought this was important with such a pretty piece of jewellery. However, this can be easily interchanged with a bold red lip colour to create another stunning look.

Does it make me a bad blogger for only just discovering Polyvore? It's an amazing app where you can create amazing collages/photo montages of your favourite clothing, beauty and interior items. This is fab for fellow bloggers as you can easily create wish-lists or outfits that you can then share easily here on blogger. Now outfit posts aren't limited to just your wardrobe, but every item of clothing on the app. This is especially great for me as I can create looks/outfits with clothing from sites that don't deliver to my island, giving me a wider variety of stores to choose from and share with you.
Here's an outfit I created using the app. Another great feature of the app is the ability to add text, images (like this cute little sketch of a girl with a retro camera) and even magazine articles. You can change the colour and fonts of text and change the background too. You can search for specific clothing types or brands like it did here. I am in love with these shoes and I am going to be searching for this dress in store on the weekend.
Okay Taz, stop there before you sound crazy! If you don't already have Polyvore, I strongly recommend it. If you do, tell me so I can follow you!
It's only half way through the week but hey, only two days to the weekend! Have a great rest of the week and hopefully I'll write to you again this weekend.
