Victoriana Lives On

Style Theory: Victoriana style blouses are set to be a big trend this Autumn/Winter, the catwalks were full of beautiful ruffled blouses in sheer fabrics with lace details. Why not get on board with this trend now, Victoriana styling is incredibly versatile and translates beautifully from the summer, through the Autumn into the winter. The high street's exciting new stock is full of nods to this trend, I adore this look it is grown up with a cool edge and so easy to style...

Wear with distressed denim shorts and flat strappy sandals this summer.

Victoriana tops look fabulous with flared jeans..another 2015 must have.

Victoriana tops are so easy to wear in the summer, pair with denim cut off shorts and strappy sandals for a cool day look, wear with a midi, long, button through skirt and tan sandal heels for an on trend 70s look. In the winter pair with flared or skinny jeans and throw a blazer over the top.
