Glamazon - The new tribal trend.

As the grey clouds are beginning to subside and make way for brighter days, the designers are paying homage to the sun and giving their girls a Glamazon feel. The tribal trend has traditionally been made up of garments featuring geometric patterns in earthy tones, and although they are still very prominent, the Spring/Summer collections for this year have had a few suprises up their sleeves. This season, the designers haven't restricted themselves to classic tribal patterns, instead the runways were also showered with modern digital patterns, bold animal prints and a more exotic colour palette. Take a look below for just a handfull of examples from the catwalk this year.

As always though, you don't need to be a millionaire to cash in on this trend as the High Street isn't far behind! Of all the stores that I have seen stocking this look, I have fallen in love the most with the collection on ASOS. They have an extremely diverse range of pieces that can cater for those wanting to simply dip their toe in the trend or those who want to submerge themselves in the look and go native! See below for a few of my favourites :)

The easiest way to go Glamazon is to head towards simple cuts and feminine lines in the form of a summer dress, tunic or a maxi. Tribal prints and earthy colours speak for themselves without needing complex and rich tailoring. As the clothing in this style tends to be busy and heavily patterned, avoid piling on the accessories as you may run the risk of looking cluttered. Instead, opt for metallic cuffs or thick wooden bangles to compliment the look. If you choose a dress in a block colour with minimal pattern, you can afford to be a little more adventurous with your jewellery. Bib and thick metallic necklaces are a winner for giving a tribal edge to simpler clothing. For daytime wear, add flat gladiator sandles, but to give a shot of glamour to your after-dark outfit, stack on some height with chunky wooden heels to keep that native feel.

Have fun, go glam, and above all, get native!

The 'Disabled & Sexy' Fashion Show bags its very own fashion expert host!!

It's official guys - the 'Disabled & Sexy' Fashion Show is to be hosted by fashion agent and TV presenter Jonathan Phang!! After being in talks with Jonathan for a while, he has confirmed that he is extremely eager to host the event for us as he is very enthusiastic about spreading the message that fashion should not discriminate against disability. Jonathan has worked with disabled models before and feels very passionate that the fashion industry should be more accessible to those with disabilities.

Most people will know Jonathan from presenting the shows 'Britains Next Top Model' and 'Britains Missing Top Model', but aside from this, he is one of fashions most influential figures. Before presenting, Jonathan worked as a top executive with agencies on both sides of the Atlantic. He represented some of the worlds most famous models, including Tyra Banks and Liv Tyler, as well as launching the careers of Naomi Campbell, Jodie Kidd and Christy Turlington.

Jonathan is the perfect host for the 'Disabled & Sexy' Fashion Show as he has always strived to push the boundaries within the fashion industry; in 1986 he was the driving force behind getting the first black model on the cover of UK Vogue Magazine.

Today, Jonathan owns and runs one of the industries top hair and make-up agencies, producing glossy photo shoots for a vast range of advertising and PR clients.

I am so excited to be working with such an amazing figure within the fashion industry, and simply cannot wait for the show to take place - Roll on October!! :D

Clogs: Hot or Not??

Ok, so I'm guessing the majority of people out there will be thinking 'YUCK!', but I have to admit, clogs and mules are my new guilty pleasure. When I first saw the Chanel Spring/Summer 2010 show, the footwear instantly caught my eye.

Now, I know they won't be to everyones taste, but one thing is for sure - they are set to be everywhere this summer. Celebrities are already donning them with floaty florals, faded denim and hardwearing leather to create a sexy boho-chic look. High Street stores are quickly catching on to the new hate-it-or-love-it trend; I have already spied them in River Island, Office, ASOS and Topshop, and I'm sure many more will follow.

White Wear

Sunny days, golden skin and warmer weather - there's no better excuse to start buying in the bright whites! A recurring summer favourite; white is back on the fashion radar yet again, but this year the emphasis lays in shape, form and fabric. Designers used white as a blank canvas to focus they eye on a mix of fun, feminine detailing and sharp, exciting lines which ultimately created this refreshing and elegant trend for 2010.

The Spring/Summer collections saw a wide number of takes on the 'whiteout', from pretty prairie and cute macrame slips, to glamerous sports wear and structured architectural shifts. Although the styles ranged, they were all clean, crisp and chic. The white blazer made a huge comeback on the catwalk this year too, with the tailoring varying from fitted and smart, to slouchy and casual.

A must-have for this style is the white shirt dress. Whether you prefer frilly, fussy and feminine or smart, starched and sleek, a white shirt is the easiest place to start with this look. The shirt dress can be worn oversized with a thick belt to cinch in the waist and killer heels to provide a show stopping evening outfit. A standard white shirt is also a key piece to a womans wardrobe as they are so versatile, simply wear with jeans or high waisted trousers for a casual yet sexy daytime outfit.

White dresses of every shape, style and fabric can be found in most High Street stores at the moment as it has been a summertime rule for many moons that a girl owns at least one. However, if you're feeling behind and need to get in on the trend - then ASOS have some beautiful pieces to choose from, whether you're wanting a long flowing maxi or a slinky bandeau mini, they have it all. Keep white at the core of this trend and try to avoid adding to many accessories, maybe just adding a gold or silver necklace and/or bangle to step up the sparkle.

This style can be easily achieved, but can be a little difficult to maintain - stain-prone women be aware, extra care maybe needed when sipping red wine or slurping spaghetti!
