What is your Favourite Fashion Trend and Why?

Before I get to the (highly-anticipated, very exciting, near impossible to decide..) answer to this question, let me first outline the difference between a trend and a fad. Yes, as every fashionista knows, there is a big difference! A fad is an item, like the tie dye print, most recently in the form of a maxi dress that made a short, (and in my opinion, not very sweet) resurgence this summer. A trend, however is a craze that lasts more than one season. The blazer and the skinny jean are both popular trends we will be seeing a good deal more of as we move into winter.

I can't fail to mention one of my great loves, the statement accessory. I have been a fan for as long as I can remember (always contradicting the phrase 'less is more'). Whether it be the classic strands of pearls, Audrey Hepburn style, the Rachel Zoe inspired cocktail ring, or one of my many self-made necklaces, (see picture) Statement accessories definitely came a very close second to my favourite fashion trend.

However, I can reveal my favourite fashion trend for the moment is my biker boots. I suffer from what I have coined a 'pretty complex'. While I love ruffles, floral prints, lace, beading and everything pretty I feel, more often than not, when worn with a nude heel, sandal or ballet flat they become daggy. My biker boots are the cure! I can wear a ruffled skirt (as pictured), I can dress down a tule and lace dress, I can add a grunge feeling to a rouched, beige tube skirt and I can successfully contradict the glitz of my oversized black diamonte studs. Yes, my black lace-ups are definitely my most favourite fashion trend.
