Florals are always popular in springtime as they’re fun, flirty and perfect for slightly warmer days. We love the floral trend and these are our top picks from the spring and summer 2011 collection.

All A Flutter

Butterfly prints are set to be a big trend this year, and we think it’s a gorgeously feminine look that’s perfect for Spring.  So here are our favourite butterfly inspired looks for the new season!

This stylish butterfly print tunic from our new collection is the perfect way to capture the trend. The floaty fabric is totally fashionable this season and will skim all manner of lumps and bumps. The gathering also gives this top a lovely shape, plus it’s available in a choice of peach or purple… both set to be popular shades this year! Perfect!

If you’d rather pay a more subtle homage to the trend then this cute butterfly charm bag is just the thing.  It’s a very usable everyday bag, the perfect size for all your bits and bobs and it comes in a gorgeous colour. Plus the butterfly charm is just so cute!


Stylish New Looks From Isabella Cole

We have a gorgeous new collection from Isabella Cole here at Marisota. It features beautiful shoes as well as stunning fashion. One of my favourite pieces from the range is this unashamedly feminine suit. It’s so refreshing to see a smart, tailored look that is a little less masculine. The draped jacket is just perfect for smart meetings or even for a wedding guest.

The wide leg trousers too are an incredibly flattering style. This suit looks best worn with a contrasting but equally feminine top. Lace and nude shades are both great choices.

If you’d like something a little less formal then this jersey jumpsuit is a great look for Spring. Just add towering heels for the perfect night out outfit. It’s a great way to get the jumpsuit trend as this jersey style will skim all your lumps and bumps for a gorgeous shape.

Arlene Phillips - Sea Garden Collection

When it comes to spring and summer adding some colour into your wardrobe can really lift your mood! The Sea Garden range from the Arlene Phillips fashion collection at Marisota is just perfect for helping put that summery spring in your step.

Fresh sea inspired colours are teamed with curve friendly, comfortable styles that will show off your best bits, and hide those problem areas.

Take this gorgeous Arlene Phillips button detail tunic for example. It’s the perfect length for wearing with trousers, slim leg jeans or leggings. It skims your shape without clinging and features a flattering scoop neck.  Plus the pale blue shade is going to be seriously popular this season!

If you prefer more muted tones then opt for this stylish Arlene Phillips embellished jersey top in navy.

The embellishment is just enough to add curves if you’re lacking, but won’t make you look top heavy thanks to the scoop neckline. Perfect for spring/ summer nights out when you fancy a bit of sparkle.

What do you think of the new Arlene Phillips fashion range?

The New Arlene Phillips Collection

We all loved the Arlene Phillips range last season, so that’s why she’s come back with a whole new collection for Spring/ Summer 2011. There’s a whole host of styles and two different themes. The first being her stunning Arlene Phillips vintage collection.

This gorgeous leather jacket is just the thing to take you through to spring and summer!

It looks equally gorgeous with dressy outfits and jeans so should be a definite wardrobe staple. Plus it’s in this season’s tan shade that works perfectly with the camel and other earthy tones that are going to be everywhere this season.

Another item in a seriously stylish shade is the Arlene Phillips disc dress in “nude”. The cut is superbly flattering with sheer sleeves, perfect if you prefer to cover your shoulders and upper arms!

It’s the perfect choice for all those spring weddings you have coming up, and a fabulously flattering length! Pop back tomorrow for more on the Arlene Phillips fashion range for Marisota.

We love this new range, what do you think? Did you have a favourite piece last season?

Accessorize to perfection

If there’s one thing we love at Marisota it’s customising. With the frugal climate this year accessories are becoming the new must have items for the season. So if you’re feeling the pinch then some stylish new extras are the perfect way to bring an old outfit straight into 2011.  We’re here to help you discover which accessories will make the biggest change, and what to go for to be on trend!

  1. Structural Changes
Any accessory that makes a dramatic difference to your look MUST have a structural effect. This means it must either change the shape of an outfit, or change an aspect of it for example neckline or sleeves.
Good examples of this kind of accessory include waist cinching belts and oversized necklaces.
This coral coloured belt from Fiorelli is the ideal waist cincher for spring. It’s in this season’s colour palette, features a stylish buckle detail and comes in a whole range of sizes and colours!
Similarly this bright Joe Browns chunky necklace is the ideal choice to brighten up your spring look! The different shades of blue really add a flash of colour, making it ideal for updating any drab and dreary winter looks.
2. Accessories By Trend
Buying accessories that are “in” this season will attract attention, the perfect way to update a classic outfit for the new year.  Chunky bangles are totally in this season, and this 2 pack of bangles features both gold and silver detailing.
3. Fashion Forward Footwear
If in doubt turn to shoes, they’re an inexpensive way to update numerous outfits at once. We’ll be posting about this season’s shoe trends next week… so keep an eye out!
