Trend Alert : Delicately Romantic

Fashion is turning elegant and feminine this season. Designers have fallen in love with lace and as a result pretty day dresses and see-through blouses are everywhere this Summer. Create a dramatic feel by sweeping the floor with a full-length gown, like Valentino and Antonio have displayed, or keep it structured with a mixed blouse and bow waist as shown by Oscar de la Renta and Diane Von Furstenberg. These styles are perfect for accentuating your delicacy and also giving your look a romantic edge.

If you want to follow this trend but don't want to shout about it, then look no further than the return of the slip dress. Pop a plain t-shirt underneath for a more casual look. To dress up for an evening style with this diamante crystal choker available in silver and gold; it will make the perfect finishing touch. Designers are lapping up this trend, especially Celine, Rochas and Emilio Pucci.

Another style being brought in is the romantic ruffles. Miu Miu and Roberto Cavalli are layering up the ruffles in a loud way. Accessorising this style needs a refined touch so we suggest you opt for this Isabella crystal and pearl flower necklace, or how about this Vine pearl and crystal encased link necklace? Both will decorate your outfit with a simple sensuality.

All this lace and ruffled embroidery gives off a strong feminine vibe. Christian Dior has placed a soft focus on the trend by creating sheer beauty through chiffon and and organza garments. These pieces are perfect for layering and mixing tones as the fabric will never come across heavy, dressing with this style also gives you the perfect opportunity to accessorize with statement pieces. This luxe pastel geometric bracelet will compliment the soft chiffon colours in the most perfect way and there's a matching necklace and a pair of earrings if you want to go all out!

Gentle florals are introduced on dresses by Oscar de la Renta and Alexander McQueen. These subtle patterns give chic garments that boost of colour. Gucci however has taken a darker, bolder approach by flashing metallic patterns on sheer black dresses. Whatever style you prefer, we've got the accessories to match. If you want to go for a more "pretty in the park" look, then try this silver crystal wrap around bangle, and pair it with this triple drop pendant made with Swarovski crystals, to add an extra splash of colour. If you'd rather mimic the Gucci style, the statement earrings are a must! Two pairs we definitely recommend are these pearl tassel earrings, and these round chandelier red drop earrings. Both give off an evening feel, however if you love these earrings as much as we do, then match them with a plain blouse for a more casual look so you can wear them during the day as well.

We love that this season is all about expressing your femininity and what better way to channel your womanhood than through accessorising with beautiful jewellery. This romantic trend is influencing all this seasons fashion, and we are feeling the love.
