This week I am wearing florals; go bright or clash them, from ditsy to oriental there should be a floral out the for all tastes.  The pieces are I am wearing are soon to come but if you love this trend then be in with the chance to win the t-shirt from my second outfit all you have to do is tell me how you would wear it, so leave a comment below or tweet me @nataliehartley the deadline is next sunday 27th january... good luck!

TIP... look out for sheer pieces this spring and with the floral embroidery keep this looking fresh and modern I have styled it with silk trousers keeping the colour tones similar and added a simple pointy shoe in black for an 80's power twist this is a great look for work with a blazer and slip or for night kept sheer just add a citrus lipstick shade like tangerine

TIP... for a cooler easy way to wear this trend find a print added to an oversized t-shirt or sweatshirt and wear with leather for a tougher finish but the a line skirt gives this a feminine feel again I have added a metallic boot as these are probably one of my favourite boots for summer great with everything and a good addition to update old clothes!

TIP... Oriental flowers are a strong theme for spring clash your prints with your top and I have added a metallic block heeled shoe which bring this look up to date also if you haven't invested in a bomber jacket yet then make sure you do its the perfect summer cover up and goes with all new season trends

It's all about Dries van Noten.....

This summer my I am all over Dries van Noten, inspired from one of my favourite decades, the nineties, it brings back good memories but in a more grown up way than I would have worn it back then. These are some of my favourite looks...

True Blue.....

This week its all about the color of summer BLUE! It's a versatile colour and cobalt is key but mix you your tones for the latest way to wear the trend! This week you can WIN the check jumper from the first look just tell me how you would wear it by leaving a comment below or tweeting me @nataliehartley.  Deadline Sunday 20th January... Good Luck!

TIP... I am very into hats at the moment and love these cotton 60's inspired domed ones in blue to finish off the outfit a print worn underneath helps break up head to toe colour and have styled it with this oversized suede bomber jacket which looks great with the girly skirt but both have a sporty element that ties it altogether

TIP...double denim never goes away and is a great way to wear this trend look out for patchwork denim details like the shirt I am wearing different tones of blue denim look great when mixed altogether

TIP... taking inspiration from the ss13 dries van noten show (my favourite show of the season) its all about playing with check the big 90's print inspired by kurt cobain so I have clashed the shirt and trousers (things don't need to match perfectly) and thrown over a mens jumper and blazer the metallic shoes gives this a modern twist

TIP...oversized ruffles and frills its all about strong shapes for summer and this dress inspired by balenciaga is a perfect example of this trend I love dressing it down with a pair of cowboy boots but whatever your footwear do it in monochrome

TIP... it's a 90's revival this summer seen at dries van noten and henry holland but why not try wearing it with pastels for a modern update tie dye and embellishment give this a more girly twist but beeny hats are the perfect grunge twist to the outfit and these sandals are a great key style to carry you through the summer

TIP... oversized shapes are key I love this giant short sleeve sweater and have balanced the shape with a pencil skirt keep things skinny on the bottom half if the top is oversized or vice versa, the metallic accessories add a statement and metallics are not just for night this season but should be integrated into your outfit for day
