Top Trends Of 2016

• Metallics - I'm so obsessed with metallics! This fresh and fun trend comes in a range of tones, silver, gold, rose gold and copper. They're so easy to wear and add a touch of glam to any look.
• Suede - A 70's trend that has been big for the past couple of seasons is suede. I've been after a suede jacket for such a long time. This one from MissGuided is so gorgeous!
• Chokers - Another 90's inspired grunge trend that has been a massive hit this year. Not only has this choker style been in the form of jewellery, but also many t-shirts and dresses have supported this style of neckline. 
• Velvet - A more recent trend this A/W is velvet. Again taken from the 90's, this trend has been supported on a number of different casual pieces and more dressier garments. It's hard to pull off, but when done right it look's so good.
• Embroidery - A different spin on things has been the embroidery trend. Designers and brands have added embellished details to jackets, jeans, skirts, shirts, shoes and bags, creating a different twist to folk and bohemian fashion.
• Pleats - Pleats have been everywhere! On most items like skirts, tops, jumpsuits, trousers and dresses. This detail adds such a feminine and delicate spin on things.
• Culottes - Love them or hate them, culottes have been a go to piece this year, for adding a touch of sophistication to more dressier kind of looks from work meetings to cocktails with the girls.
• Bomber jackets - Another piece you either hate or you love. Bomber jackets come with a sporty-luxe vibe to them, sporting a range of colours and styles, there's so many out there for everyone.
• Cold shoulders - A previous trend, but that stuck round this year is cold shoulders. This flattering for all trend was big over the spring/summer months.
• Trainers - Trainers have become increasingly popular this year. With many supporting some form of Adidas or Van inspired shoe. This type of shoe is perfect for those casual comfy days.

Lifestyle - 

• PokemonGo - The app that everyone went crazy for over the summer for a month or two was PokemonGo. It got everyone outside and socialising!
• Marble - One that was big last year and has just got even bigger this year, especially in the blogging world was marble. It does look so luxurious though, so can you blame them?
• Copper - Another one from previous times and definitely stuck around this year was copper! So many different brands for all sorts of different products, from cutlery for the kitchen to hairdryers and hair irons to style your locks have been supporting this choice of colour.
• Flatlays - Flatlays have been huge all over Instagram, in Magazines and other big brand websites, as well as many bloggers supporting this choice of photo styling. If you can master it, then it bloody look's amazing!
• Blush pink - I'm honestly so happy about this one. The blush pink colour is so stunning. I've been wearing this within my outfits, my bedding and room features is the colour, my blog is even this colour. It's such a pretty shade and one I hope stays for a long time.
• Year of the GIF - Twitter added the GIF feature to it's page this year, meaning many have been adding gif's relating to their tweets, conversations or even through DM's as a new form of communicating. 
• Hygge - Within the last few months, the danish word 'Hygge' meaning a feeling or mood that is produced from taking pleasure in ordinary, everyday moments by being more meaningful and special, has been a lifestyle many have adopted recently. 
• Bullet journaling - This style of journaling that aims to help you master your schedule, comes in the form of bullet journaling. They enable you to customise your schedule/organisation to meet with your own preference and are super flexible. Lot's of us started this style of journaling, with many showing so many creative ways to do it and finding it successful.
