Fashion & accessories: Fringe benefits

A huge trend this season is the fringe look. Its everywhere and on everything. The look is about embracing a fashion that makes you feel nice - the long strands make carry yourself effortlessly, making your outfit swoon as such. You glide and it glides with you.

We love a trend, but when embracing something new its important to find the right way to wear it. The reaction we want is "That's such a nice bag! Do you mind if I get one?" Not "Oh my God, my 18 year old niece just bought that bag for her trip to Ayia Napa" - see where we are going with this? It's all about finding the right balance and making sure the trend blends with you and your lifestyle. 

Our weekly routine is probably similar to yours in some way...kids, husband, work, kids, husband, work and (if we're not too sleep deprived) the odd evening out with girlfriends in town. So where does this trend fit in? Well its more versatile than you think. 

The kimono from River Island could work over jeans and a cami for an evening out or as a holiday cover-up, it looks better on than on the hanger its a must try. 
The bag we have chosen from Zara is great for work or everyday use and big enough to fit everything in if you want to use it instead of a changing bag. 
The shoes, well they are a statement piece that will make any outfit pop for a night out in London think how well it they go with a Cocktail at The Edition. 

Hopefully one of our 3 fringe favourites will make you want to give this seasons trend a try.
