F is for Flare

As the start of Winter rapidly approaches, I have discovered I have come to a loss - I have NO winter clothes. Many of my friends may argue, as their idea of a winter wardrobe is a few T-shirts and jeans, but I'm one for freaking out and overbuying for just about EVERY season.

So today I, being the cool person I am, searched high and low for new and improved winter trends, and was surprised and unsurprised to find that the flare pants have come back full throttle. Now I have not been living under a rock, I assure you, but I was shocked to find that they're just about everywhere - Paris, New York, Milan and all over Europe outside, inside and on the fashion shows.

I for one am a huge fan of reawakening once coveted styles, so it was quite a happy surprise, because adding a bit of flare can make any outfit look totally retro and cool. The simplest outfit can be boosted with the right pair of flare pants and that gorgeous pair of heels/ankle boots, which means little effort = big impact, which is good news for just about everyone!

What are your thoughts on the once-unanimously loved 70s style that's back in business? Are we ready to jump into them or sticking to our much loved skinny leg?

Sasha for April Free People

We've all seen it - on the runways, on the street and in magazines. This Spring, while the style is utterly feminine, some can come off as very serious. Fortunately, that's where Free People came in this April, with none other than the gorgeous Sasha Pivovarova.

In this colourful and tribal-feel shoot, Sasha taps into her inner bohemian spirit for the April catalogue. Photographed by Guy Aroch, she dons an array of billowing skirts, tribal accessories and denim as she poses alongside some exotically cute animal friends.

The use of the mute colour palette of ivory and neutral hues, Free People has brought a luxurious sense of relaxation into the spring season, and many are loving it! I went to check out people's blogs today and about five had posted this spread, and after seeing it, I immediately knew why! The wild spirit and simplicity captured in these shots are enough to drool over, with the use of the wild-child stereotype and gorgeous clothes we all want!

So if you've seen it already, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about, but if you haven't, check it out below, and get ready to fall in love with these stunning designs and outfits fit for a (tribal-esque) princess!

AND because I just love you all so much, here's the video. It pretty much is the same thing as the spread, but just more of a look at all the outfits and more cute furry and feathery animals. Yay, two of our favourite things - fashion and cutesy wutesy animals! :)

So... What do you think? I don't think I could ever pull off any of these looks (ask my friends, I don't look good in 'adventurous' outfits. They tease me), but it doesn't mean a girl can't dream!
