The Lace Trend

Summer 2012 is full of ladylike, romantic and sweet touches.  I am obviously talking about the lace trend which has seen a big revival on designer catwalks and also on the high street.  Fashion designers like Preen, Moschino Cheap and Chic and Valentino added extra feminine touches to their collections with the use of lace and embroideries on skirts, dresses and tops. 

I have also spotted a lot of lace on accessories this summer, from belts to bags and from shoes to funky jewellery, there is something for everyone one!

One of my favourite summer lace Catwalk Look is from Preen.  To help copy this trend I have compiled a list of this season’s must-have lace clothes and accessories. 

This daisy lace front t-shirt has cap sleeves and a plain stretch back is a cute summer and an essential item for any wardrobe, price £45 from Oasis

If you are looking for the perfect summer lace dress, invest in this by Emilio Pucci timeless lace dress, price £1570 from net-a-porter.com

This skirt by Diane Von Furstenberg is also one of my favourite and has just gone on sale, price £133 from matches.com

For accessories, I love these Jeffrey Campbell Lita Shoe lace boots, price £113 from nelly.com, they go great with a pair of denim trousers.

Alexander McQueen’s lace clutch is a step away from the ordinary; it also adds a touch of class to any day or evening summer outfit, this clutch is available from couture.zappos.com

Finally if you are looking to for that perfect present I suggest this soap from Bayan Loutra which comes packaged in a beautiful lace pouch price £20.40 it is available from bayanloutra.co.uk and also from stilorama.com
