</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Carrying on with the spring theme, I saw this white blazer on the Chanel Spring/Summer catwalk, and I feel this is a great addition to the spring wardrobe...its a more fresh appeal to the typical blazer, I prefer the boyfriend fit like this blazer as its more relaxed. I will definitely be adding a white blazer to my wardrobe.</div>Retro Sugarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10988392599535427878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599547437565638530.post-62570150548134333922011-02-04T04:42:00.000-08:002011-02-04T04:42:22.464-08:00Best pick of Spring trousers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwZp_n_OxoRwB7rofSCL0rZM8kIZmeNRv5Fe9Ehh_GCkh8W11o6POU8-DMdehAFyV6ytnQmUl34Ty-Od7Wd97baGMdWSC-kS5ALTEc-WVgvcqr-_B8PIG2PzquQ7N4MBIytK0mRnNfghk/s1600/%255DPEFE%255DRF.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwZp_n_OxoRwB7rofSCL0rZM8kIZmeNRv5Fe9Ehh_GCkh8W11o6POU8-DMdehAFyV6ytnQmUl34Ty-Od7Wd97baGMdWSC-kS5ALTEc-WVgvcqr-_B8PIG2PzquQ7N4MBIytK0mRnNfghk/s640/%255DPEFE%255DRF.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
A pick of the best high street trousers, As spring is approaching I think a good pair of high waisted, light weight trousers are a must!. I love a relaxed approach to this style, teaming them with cropped trousers, baggy t-shirts and oversize shirts. Light colours look best with this and the cropped trousers add a feminine touch. My favourite colour to wear right now is a rich camel tone, I find it quite elegant, minimal make up is more fresh, add a touch of a vibrant red lipstick for a more dressed up look.<br />
<br />
I've chose a couple of example of flat shoes that complete the look. Brogues with the long trousers and loafers with the cropped style work best. Keep to masculine shoes.<br />
The two tone brogue shoe is quite unique which mixes up the style more, they would suit either the camel or grey harems.Retro Sugarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10988392599535427878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599547437565638530.post-72341568450988628282011-02-01T11:15:00.000-08:002011-02-01T11:36:27.305-08:00Fenech Soler<a allowfullscreen><="" class="youtube-player" frameborder="0" height="390" href="http://www.blogger.com/lt;iframe%20title=" iframe>"="" player"="" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/as9zyYZ0D4M" type="text/html" video="" width="640" youtube=""></a><br />
