Lilac Floral

A feminine Oriental inspired spring and summer!

 

To get the right look this Spring and summer it’s important to get the clothes moving and being voluminous with different layers of fabrics, flounces and ruffles. Like the amazing Ermanno Scervino collection. Combined with semi transparent clothes it gives you the perfect romantic look. To hit the spot though it’s important as well to mix up the romantic look with floral prints inspired by the remote hippie culture. In fact this year the international catwalks were full of dresses with floral prints, girly butterflies painted with watercolors mixed with other colorful fabric prints. Like the Versace collection or even the Moschino collection Cheap and chic.

An other trend this new coming season is the tribal/oriental inspired style. With long dresses, python prints, kaftans, animal prints and African inspired accessories. The Roberto Cavalli collection have made some very exotic and tribal inspired kaftans with animal prints. A Must Have this spring and summer is in fact the exotic kaftans! The kaftans are available in different sizes, shapes and colors. That’s one reason why it’s extremely comfortable, the other is that it works great both day and night time! On the beach as well at the club with particular accessories and the right shoes! Gucci though have made some more elegant  kaftans, in clear shining blue, red, ocean green and purple.

Purple is still trendy in fact this spring and summer it’s still top fashion. Designers this year have combined different shades of purple together as lilac, violet, plum and lavender. But also purple together with other strong colors. Yellow for instant which also is on the top this spring and summer! To continue with the strong colors which are definitely very trendy this spring and summer, all fluorescent colors are absolutely right. Like strong orange, florescent clear blue, yellow and green in different shades.

Different themes are popular as well, like the safari or marine theme. The classic safari jacket is perfect on mild spring afternoons. Put together with creamy colors, light blue jeans and some feminine accessories. The Dolce & Gabbana  collection this year clearly  demonstrate the marine theme, with red and blue and white and blue stripped shirts, as well as bathing suites.  With sometimes even anchors printed on the chest to amplify the marine touch. Waist high trousers and funny bathing hats!

For summer nights it’s silk and satin with a metallic touch that rules! Long or short dresses made in this beautiful and elegant material could never be wrong but this spring and summer it’s more right than ever! Also these combined with sheer (see-trough fabrics) and unique decorations. A beautiful voluminous purple silk dress with big gold or silver accessories and high healed platform sandals could never fail this summer and spring!

Talking about high healed sandals the new expressive shoe fashion must be nominated. With its sky high healed shoes, gladiator sandals, thick platform sandals and thousand details. Like the crazy but obviously amazing collection Guiseppe Zanotti Design or Paciotti.

Is this nursery gender neutral enough?

I'm expecting boy/girl twins and I'm struggling on how to decorate the nursery. The room is already painted lilac and the carpet is a few shades darker... it's not in the budget to change that. So this is what I've done to work around that:

The feminine side of the room will have pink floral sheets, a pink bumper, and a beautiful white blanket my mom is crocheting. On the wall will be pink letter hangings. The mobile will be pink and white. The masculine side of the room will have pale blue sheets with a train print on them, a blue striped bumper, and a matching white blanket. On the wall will be blue letter hangings. The mobile will be white and blue. Everything else (lampshades, diaper bins, etc...) will be white.

Is this gender neutral enough?

You have obviously put a lot of thought into this and it sounds a very good compromise to me! Should look good! Best of luck with your Twins!
