New styles to try in 2016

As we go in to a new year and have a fresh start, I always want to change my style up a bit. So I put together some of my favourite unique styles and trends to get ideas from!

Mermaid/ fairy style


A really easy way to create a staple item for the summer would be to get a crop top, cut out a stencil in the shape of a seashell, and paint over it on to the top using fabric paint. Sequin skirts finish the outfit and look just like you have your own mermaid tail! I also love tutu type skirts for a fairy style.



Black and white / Gothic style

I usually wear a lot of colour, but I do like to wear black from time to time and embracing the gothic style. The essentials for this look are a black crop top, a pair of black jeans. I've been wearing a lot of black lipstick lately. Even though it is so different from my usual style, I fancied a change.

Kawaii Japanese style


Japanese fashion is so adorable. Most of the colours are pink, lilac and blue pastels with images of cartoon and cartoon characters and cute dainty shoes to match.
Seventies style


The seventies style is still going to be popular in 2016, I love silk 70's shirts from secondhand shops, hippie headbands and flowing, over sized dresses. You could try the 70's headband DIY I did back in the summer to get started!

Wearing every colour of the rainbow

If you usually wear neutral colours and black, why not experiment with more colours of the rainbow? Bright pastel colours are going to be a big trend for summer 2016 and I'll definitely be getting on the trend early! Something I'd really like to try this year is having multi coloured hair!

Hope you enjoyed and have an amazing 2016, can't wait to share my year with all of you!
