The Fashion Trend Forecast 2015

I absolutely love dressing for spring summer, it’s far more effortless and more affordable without the need for all those layers.

Entering on into the New Year is the perfect excuse for a little wardrobe detox, I'm so excited to start plumping out my wardrobe with some cool classic pieces intrinsic to my personal style, as I’m quite literally sick of scrolling through all the sale pages.

When it comes to making fashion purchases especially designer, I seek my inspiration from a variety of sources whether it is straight from the runway or insane celebrity style to steal to regular street style looks that I want to make my own.

I like to be aware of the trends although I would not say that I’m a die- hard trend follower but I do find inspiration in trends when it comes to me deciphering my wardrobe style picks. I’ve always been a bit reluctant to buying into trends just because fashion moves so fast I don’t want to end with bad wardrobe choice’s that I can’t even wear next season.

If I'm going to go the trend route, I stay in Vogue by subtly tapping into the latest trends by opting for style picks that are timeless, classic numbers so that you know you won’t have to ditch the pieces the following season, where investing in accessories is a great way to play around with new trends.
