How to Keep Warm and Still Look Stylish

I do realise that the spring/summer collections are being shown at London Fashion Week. And yes, I am aware that the shops are selling spring/summer clothing now. But has anyone noticed that it's still absolutely freeeeeeezing outside? And like a child that wants to do things now, not later when it's more practical, I want to enjoy wearing the new seasons clothing NOW!



The key is to incorporate this seasons pieces into your winter wardrobe. Instead of wearing a minidress with bare legs, wear it with some chunky knit tights and a pair of cool boyish boots.





You can wear that stripy t-shirt but maybe layer it with a thermal vest underneath. I know the words “thermal” and “vest” conjure up images of old grannies but I swear there are some really cute ones in the shops at the moment and they will keep you toasty.



I'm really liking the waterfall cardigans and they look fab with skinny jeans or thick leggings. Thick leggings are great for keeping warm by the way. You may have to search high and low in Topshop or H&M but they are there! So there you are, my tips for keeping stylish and warm.

How to Dress Romantically

Valentines day maybe sooooo last week but feelings of romance are still lingering due to this seasons spring look.

Think....

1) luxurious lace
2) romantic ruffles
3) fabulous florals
4) soft pastel colours
5) sheer fabrics
6) big bows



Yes! Florals have been around for a while now but they are here to stay. Big prints or dainty flowers are best worn with colourful tights or skinny jeans.

Ruffles on dresses feature a lot this season but if you don't want to look too dressed up then t-shirts with ruffles are the relaxed answer.

Chanel's catwalk was filled with bows in hair so why not invest in a headband or a bobble with a big bow.

Lace is absolutely everywhere, in skirts, dresses, t-shirts. You name it, it's lacy! I personally love jumpers with a panel of lace at the front. I wear mine with my stone washed skinny jeans and over the knee boots.

If pastel pinks and oranges are not your thing why not try grey, its easy to wear and suits any skin tone.

I hope this helped in figuring out how to dress romantically for Spring!

Tell us how you go about creating an outfit? Where do you get your inspiration from?
At first I am choosing the dress or the blouse, later the lower part - trousers or the skirt, and at the end I am choosing accessories . I am searching for inspiration, on the street and in the Internet. Everywhere where something is interesting.

P: this is super cute ; )


P: it is so ordinary but also unusual.


What fashion trends are cool where you live now?
It depends from the date, time or season. They are dressed in 'live colors' because Poland is a happy country. ; )

If you could only wear one color for the rest of your life, what would it be? [This was a question asked by the previous featured user Jayne]
Yellow, because it is so 'warm and living'. It's my favourite. ; )

Lastly, any suggestions for things you would like to see on Avenue7 and shout outs to people?
I didn't think, but people could add more interesting, sweet and cool clothes and accessories.
