FASHION FLASHBACKS TRENDS// Fashions

ALL ABOUT TRENDS

Fashion is all about trends and being on top of the latest trends, for those that have a large following it is important to showcase those trends - be it designers or latest styles from other retailers.

Some trends were okay , some I wondered about. Here are some trends that had me wondering.

THE FURRY SLIPPER aka gucci

It was everywhere the furry slip-on shoe by GUCCI . Every influencer on instragram seemed to being wearing these fuzzy things. I love slippers or slip ons,, but truth is to me those furry things are more suitable in the bedroom. Reminded me of the leather slippers my dad would wear, minus the fur .

I did like the plain slip-on though , for a cool casual roundabout the house or errands.

Don't get me wrong I adore Gucci. The Belt and the purses.

PLASTIC BAGS and the ENVIRONMENT

Lately its been in the news plastic is polluting our planet. The water , the oceans and animals are found dead after eating the waste that is in the water.

So when Chanel came out with the see through plastic carry all , that made me wonder. PLASTIC IS PLASTIC and I am sure it was not a cheap price. I don't mind it for a makeup case or even a handy place to keep ones travel items contained .

THE UGLIEST SNEAKER

A trend according to some fashion reports.

The look of the chunky sneaker was everywhere. With long dresses, skirts or suits.

I don't mind sneakers or runners for serious walking or sports , but somehow they dont look so great with those maxi dresses. Perhaps if your running around a lot okay but have a spare shoe, be it a ballerina or nice low heel.

THE KEEPERS

WICKER EVERYWHERE

The things I found a trend that will be fashionable even years later, were the summery wicker purse,

The designs were amazing and came in so many shapes, sizes and looks. I would definitely invest in some more.

THE MULE

A great shoe that is easy to wear with most anything, for casual look , office , shopping or outings.

THE CLASSIC KITTEN HEEL

I am a major shoe lover! Heels I love, but lately I have had a love for a lower heel and kitten heels are just so perfect with most any outfit.

THE SOCK BOOT or ANKLE BOOTS

CUTE and comfortable, HANDS UP for the SOCK boot. Its a stylish boot that will last years. Worn with most any outfit , even those summery maxi skirts .

SO what are you favourite or NOT so favourite trends?

I am sure we all have some favourites.

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top that I wear as a coverup) This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for summer. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work here Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h
