Three of the best – floral blouses
In-your-face prints are all over the shops, but if you want an easier way into the trend, why not try a floral blouse? Printed blouses are a great way to introduce a splash of spring colour into your wardrobe and refresh your style. They can be paired with skinny jeans, leggings or shorts if you’re feeling brave enough to face the English weather before the summer finally arrives. Check out the three best blouses we picked out at the Bridges.

Get the look - Pixie Lott
Wow! When Pixie Lott hit the town this week she showed real star style, flashing her perfect pins in a stunning bodycon LBD and accentuating them with simple but sexy black heels. The 21-year-old star added a hint of colour with a turquoise print cardigan and a pretty pastel bowling bag which will be all over the high street this season. Here’s how to steal Pixie’s style, from top to toe.

Trend of the week - stripes
This past few weeks have seen some real sun action which makes it feel like spring is finally on its way. Following all the fuss over polka-dots over the winter, we think it’s high time that a new craze hit the shops. Make way for the stripes. They can be seen on tops, shorts, bags and even shoes this season. Whether they are in pastel or bold colours – these fun, new prints are sure to brighten up your wardrobe.

Three of the best - 80s
The 80s managed to let us down in many style stakes - the mullet and double-denim for starters - but there’s one trend revival we can thank the decade for, and that’s the crop top. The toned and the tanned can wear these great tees with anything from skater skirts to hipster jeans. The not so brave can slip under another 80s revival – a bodysuit – or wear with a pair of fabulous high-rise jeans. Whatever your shape, this Flashdance comeback is set to take us through the summer. Take a look at our three of the best.

Three of the best
One of the new season's key looks getting us excited is the tie-front top. It’s a little bit 50s, a little bit Americana, and it’s so easy to wear. The tie-front tops we’ve spotted are in funky, retro and floral designs, and can be teamed with jeggings for downtime day or shorts or a skirt for a night on the town.

Prints
Fashion has gone bolder than ever with clashing graphic prints and loud colours taking the catwalks by storm. This is one trend that is not going to go away, judging by the collections at the international fashion weeks. From Versace’s spring-summer show in Milan, to our own Mary Katrantzou’s autumn-winter 2012 show in London, in-your-face prints have been everywhere.

Spring dresses
Time to pack away your winter jumpers and start planning your new season wardrobe. There are dazzling prints, neon-striped dresses, fabulous florals and jeans in every shade of the rainbow, but what has really caught our eye are the pretty vintage-style dresses that seem to be everywhere at the moment.
