Ellie Ellie Wears

This week we've been inspired by the prospect of the bank holiday weekend in the sunshine. Whether you're off down the beach with the family or having a seaside dog walk this outfit will put you in good stead. 

These little yellow wellies are a great for a mooch in the countryside, or even on the school run on a rainy day! We are big fans of Joules, so we have another dollop of their Spring collection in our outfit this week! This striped tunic is simple, effortless but still looks amazing on. We've styled it with an Ellie Ellie Building Brick Ring, in red to add to that bright and on-trend colour palette!  Alphabet Bag's shopper is such good fun, a great size too for all the necessities (like a kindle and a nice bottle of lemonade!).

Biggest Spring Fashion Trends 2013

Spring has finally decided to catch up with the catwalk, and bring a little sunshine to the UK. It may finally be time to put your Autumn/Winter knitwear away and say 'hello' to a Spring 2013.

Tailored shorts are cocooned by massive hype this year, with sharp tailored pieces set to be a must-have for this season's girl about town.Featured in no fewer than 8 shows at LFW, the short/suit combo is everywhere. Topshop are already all over it like bees on honey, bringing out some bold and sharp prints. For women, shorts are all about the length- know what suits your body.

Love Marissa Webb's tweed look. Grey with turquoise works beautifully for a great Spring combo.

 Sporty dresses are tipped to be pretty big on the festival scene this year. Sleeveless, with a soft skater feel they are perfect to most figures and is already cropping up on the high street and online fashion stores.

ASOS are already jumping on the sporty dress bandwagon. We love this simply jersey- easy to wear and style.

 Cutouts. If you like your abs, they are a great little way to show 'em off. They are adventurous. With conveniently and strategically placed windows they allow you to flash a bit of skin without looking like you belong in a downtown gentleman's club, seriously regretting your lifestyle choice.

BAFTA nominee Jennifer Lawrence shows how it's done in this cutout paneled number.

Monochrome is perhaps the strongest trend this season. Whoever said black and white was dull? Tipped to be bigger than hip hop, bold stripes are back. Vertical is the most flattering, giving an slimming effect for most.
