SS 2013 Trend Spotlight - Pretty Florals

Floral prints are a perennial favourite on the catwalks, in one incarnation or another. Spring/summer 2013 is no exception and apart from the lean toward springtime pastels, there are no major rules or boundaries with florals this year.

With that in mind, here is the lowdown on my favourite high street blooms right now...

This beautiful cross stitch jumper is new in at New Look and it's simply perfect for Spring... for a heritage look team with a padded jacket, skinny jeans and brogues, finished off with a vintage scarf at the neck. For a more modern look, tuck this cute jumper into your favourite skater skirt and add a jewelled collar...

I LOVE this acid floral cut out dress from Topshop. The print is so rich, and a real feast for the eyes. Considering how striking this dress is, the price is also very good for Topshop.

This cute playsuit from Miss Selfridge has a pretty floral print on amid wash denim - it's absolutely fab! Team with tan leather wedges or simply some converse for a laid back summer look.

And finally from my high street edit, this screen print floral top from Evans looks like a designer piece, it's super pretty...

I love this 1970s vintage skirt in pretty blue floral print. The length is great for spring and even if you just added a t-shirt and belt you would have a really cute look.

This retro floral garland necklace is beautiful! Add it to any outfit and it just injects that pretty vintage edge...
