Happy Valentines day!

Here is my gift to Love The Trends readers, my first ever outfit photo shoot. I've never done this before so my attempt at the 'poses' are lame but the images show the outfit.

I hope you have all had a fabulous day, my day has been great!

I went for a stroll around the Albert Dock in Liverpool with my Boy, stopped at a gift shop bought a dream catcher - I am obsessed with all things native american.

On my way home from our little Valentines day stroll, I came across Pillbox vintage clothes fair where I found this fabulous 70's style white with gold piping floaty dress.

I know this dress isn't ideal for 'English' weather but my first thought was - this will look fabulous in LA! Although I don't go to LA until September I had to have it.

I'm sure there will be the rare sunny day over the next few months.

Gold beads and detailing on the vintage dress.

I melt when I see a Missoni dress, the zig zag print the loose kimono fitting style, Missoni makes the most amazing dresses for the summer.

This Missoni 'Raschel Banares' dress is my summer want.

I so want to be wearing this when i go to LA, yet it is out of my budget at £538 but I can still dream.

Stylist Rachel Zoe always wears Missoni perfectly, she has the relaxed Missoni style down.

Charlotte Ronson has previewed her Spring 2010 collection at New York Fashion Week - (Sept 2009) I am impressed! - Charlotte is really becoming an established designer.
Charlotte's Spring RTW collection was a mix of acid wash, jumpsuits, pastel pinks and alluring prints.

Charlotte said this collection - "is classical meets street." Meaning the fits are classic but the designs are edgy and 'street'.

An occuring trend in Charlotte's show was the cropped sheer leggings. - I'm not a huge fan of the cropped leggings, I think they will only flatter the skinniest leg, but they worked well in Charlotte's show!

I will be posting more images from my favourite shows from this months NYFW next week.

I've recently made my first purchase for my summer wardrobe, although it is still basically winter here. I am itching for the warmer summer weather. Topshop - smock dress.

The dress incorporates three key trends for summer floral, dip dye and bohemian.

Luckily for me Topshop also makes this dress in petite as the standard sizing of this dress is very oversized.

Even though it is chilly outside, i'm already wearing this dress with opaque tights and ballet flats.
