Florals – the perennial Spring/Summer trend – forever baffling the fiercest of the fashion following. But this season the likes of Christopher Kane and Valentino have breathed life into the flowery trend. A delightfully mixed bunch of new season florals have taken over the highstreet; so grab yourself a pew because I’m about to sew some seeds of advice.
Make like Mary Katrantzou and team fancy fantasy floral prints in the favourite body con style. I love this bodycon dress in photographic floral print, from ASOS, which is a steal at £20.
