She's dressed in yellow, she says hello..

According to WGSN, yellow is set to be the colour of the summer! Im feeling good about this because I love bright citrus colours especially yellow, a neon yellow bag in summer, a mustard cape for winter and zingy yellow shoes for summer! Here's some images to inspire your summer wardrobe, whether you're opting for a subtle yellow or something a little brighter in the form of a whole outfit or just a playful accessory to add a statement!

End of the slag heel?

For years women have been choosing a high heel over a kitten. French actress Catherine Deneuve claims that a mid heel is far sexier and it's down to twisted designers that people are obsessed with five inch heels. She has revealed that for her portrayal of Severine Serizy, in the 1967 film Belle De Jour, where a housewife turns to prostitution, she deliberately swerved away from high heels and instead went for a clunky mid-heeled Roger Vivier pair of shoes. Overnight Deneuve turned the shoe into a massive success and Vivier sold 200,00 pairs in one year alone. Deneuve has said that with a more demure, lower heel, women can feel "free, emancipated,as if we can deal with life's challenges." and asked "Do women today really want to make caricatures of themselves?"  Im really not a fan of the kitten heel myself, I could never see myself wearing them. I like how a high heel, can make the legs appear slimmer and longer and make an outfit look dressed up and polished. Kitten heels have always reminded me of a nan at a wedding kind of shoe. Saying that, recently my opinion has been changed, ever so slightly, Zara particularly has been catching my eye with its dainty stroppy sandals with a small heel, I don't think kitten heels will ever take over high heels, but these beauts from Zara are definitely a contender in the shoe stakes for me!

The state of the British highstreet

With the state of the economy in the past three years, the British high street is looking bleaker than ever.

Activity in Britains high streets this month dropped to its lowest level since August 2012. 

Highstreet brands are trying desperately to claw in its customers with tac tics such as 50% off sales and designer collaborations. For instance Swedish brand H&M collaborated with Anna Della Russo and Margiela. Later this year also sees Beyonce become the face of their summer campaign.

Fast fashion is now more popular than ever, people want to pay pennies, wear a new trend a couple of times and then buy something new. Garments are made cheaply in factories abroad and sold for next to nothing on the British high street.

Is it better to save your pennies and invest in a more expensive statement piece? It's more ethical and better for the environment… so it looks like its time for me to stop buying a new bag from Zara every month and invest in this instead!
