Denim

Sorry for not adding any news in a few weeks. Just started training which takes a lot of time and I've also got loads of work. Anyway, Spring is approaching and the stores show more and more colourful clothes in thinner fabric and flower prints that gives me a great feeling that we´re heading for Spring. Last week I bought a new pair of shoes that I´ve already worn at work as I think they are so nice:-) Goes perfectly to black leggings or stocks and the compliments have been many, not that common to wear shoes in another colour than Black.
Regarding trends for this Spring I believe denim will be one of the most popular trends. Yes I know that denim is always trendy but if you compare with last year leggings were a big trend and many denim brands had a tough year and lost sales due to these new type of trousers that many women bought instead of jeans. I think it will turn to that more and more will go for jeans this year and you can see denim in all kind of garments in almost every collection for this Spring; shirts, shorts, skirts, dresses... Famous brands like Chloé, Balenciaga, D&G, Louis Vuitton and Stella McCartney have several items in their collection. The garments are washed out to get the special worn out feeling and many brands mix them with leather and fringes to get the cowboy look or patches in different fabrics or another shade than shell fabric. I´m sure that I will buy many new denim items this Spring and the best thing is that you can mix them with everything that you have in your closet.

The Garden collection by H&M

I´m already tired of the sale right now and it will surely increase and then you buy something that you never wear anyway. I´ve learned by my mistakes and now I´m just interesting of new and fresh Spring items. Have you heard about H&M´s new collection "The Garden collection"? The items are made of Ecological Cotton, Ecological Linen and recycled fabrics like Polyester and Tencel. The best part is that the items are not solid tees in white or black or some other "boring" style just because it is made in ecological fabric. I think this will be a really big success and I hope that more brands will do the same for coming collections. Just look at pictures below and forget about the cold outside and dream away to Spring and Summer...
