Floral Trend on the High Street

As you all know on Saturday I carried out my first shoot as part of my course with London School of Styling. The brief of the shoot was head-to-toe floral look for editorial styling. I had to think bright, bold & colourful! I was so excited for this challenge and quickly started carrying out plenty of research, all of which is shown on my styling instagram page @styledbysaraelizabeth 

I found plenty of references to floral inspiration on the runway. But unfortunately the runway price tags was not something I could afford in order to dress the models for shoot, and so I took to the fabulous British high street. Here are a few of the outfits that I found that I believe covered the “head-to-toe flora” brief….

Summer Staple: The Denim Jacket

Now that summer has arrived everyone is rushing to get their summer wardrobe out but no summer wardrobe is complete without that staple denim jacket. It's the perfect lightweight cover up!

On the high street you can get a plain denim jacket from as little as £10. I was lucky enough to get mine from a local car boot sale a few years ago for a mere £1.50, but if I'm honest I practically live in it! It goes with everything from maxi dresses, to leggings, to floaty summer dresses and skirt, to even the double denim combo. It just makes an outfit look effortless. 

Some jackets can be a bit more pricey as they have been customised with that little extra detail. But why not give your old jacket a DIY update and customise it yourself, add some spikes and studs to it, or sew on badges, add some embroided trimmings to it. Anything will work this classic item!

Both these jackets are available from ASOS

Don't go fooling yourself thinking denim jackets are only for summer, they are very versatile for all seasons. Just throw on a jumper or a hoody and put your jacket on top and you are set to go for the more cooler months of the year.
