Fashion Friday: Floral Prints!

I don't know how many times I've written about my love for floral prints...Too many to count.

Now that it's spring and the weather here has finally warmed up, I felt like it was the perfect opportunity to talk about one of the biggest trends this season, and by now you should already know what it is. But if you don't, I'm talking about floral prints.

Now ya know.

When you see floral designs, the first thing you probably think of is the spring time. The flowers from the design just make you feel happy when you remember the warm weather, the feeling of the sun on your skin, no more jackets! I find that if you incorporate a floral piece into your outfit, it automatically makes your clothes look playful and full of life!

The perfect floral piece for this season (in my opinion) would hands down be a floral dress or romper! They are just so cute, and I think boat shoes, Keds, Toms, or Bobs would be the perfect shoe to go with your outfit!

In The Know: Street Style

We've all heard of the trend Street Style or Street Fashion, but what exactly is it? 

Street fashion is fashion that is considered to have emerged not from studios, but from the grassroots. Street fashion is generally associated with youth culture, and is most often seen in major urban centers. Japenese street fashion sustains multiple simultaneous highly diverse fashion movements at any given time. Mainstream fashion often appropriates street fashion trends as influences. Most major youth subcultures have had an associated street fashion.

I don't know about you, but I am in love with Street Style. As mentioned in my very first blog post, everytime I'm downtown, I get overwhelmed by all the different looks I see. My personal favourite is the hipster look. 

Some other types of Street Style are:

Hippies

Teddy Boys

 Punk- as seen on the well known singer Avril Lavigne

Skinhead

Street Style never looks the same. It is so easy to add your own flare to it and make it an original look, whether it's an accessory, or your shoes. There is something about Street Style that appeals to me more than clothing on the runway.
