Trends for Spring!

Spring fashion is always a refreshing welcome after months of down coats, fur lined boots and grey skies. The store is packed full of cute summer dresses, summer shorts, casual tops, skirts, capris, tanks and everything you would want to wear under the sun! We've picked out some of our favourite trends for spring 2011 that will be sure to keep you cool in the hot summer months ahead!

Bohemian inspired- from floral peasant skirts, to tank tops straight out of woodstock, boho-chic makes another return this summer! The lines are cleaner and more modern than before, which I find more flattering, but you still get the laid-back, easy feel of the garments.

Free People layered lace tank $118

Bluebird maxi dress $60

Frock by Tracy Reese one shoulder dress $2

Crisp Whites- Banished to the closet all winter long, get as much wear out of white while you can! A crisp, bright white can make stand out just as well as those bright neons!

Gentle Fawn tuxedo inspired dress $

Kensie white trousers $88

Tana & Bee white lace top $95

Nautical Stripes- Nautical inspirations are always a classic! This summer nautical stripes are the way to take this trend. Pair with your crisp whites and a red accent and get ready to take command!
