Arcadia Press Event was amazing, Annie and I walking into the room that was filled with deck chairs, parasols, sweets, a popcorn maker, buckets and spades and all things summery!

All ready it was a brilliant start to the collection.

Looking through the rails, it is clear that Summer '13 will be based on neutral colours: nudes, creams and peaches 
but other pieces were bright and neon was also seen in some of the garments.
A gorgeous Topshop black, white, purple and lime green 60's mini dress was extremely appealing and very on trend and the summer kaftan dresses oozed purples, burnt oranges and bright blues and although these consisted mainly in the Evans range, it was made clear that the yummy mummies of the fashion world would be making a statement on the beach this coming summer.

Miss Selfridge had the usual beads and embellishment but due to the garments they were on being nude, they looked understated and classy.

Wallis focused on a very minimal colour palette but had a strong focus on detail, especially on the long sleeveless evening dresses, one of which held a neckline that was a gold necklace.

Topshop's neon pieces were perfect for summer as they weren't too overpowering and the matching short and blazer suit is very much now and looked beautiful against a plain white chiffon tee.
Block black and white stripes were also seen and even the sporty look was put into a few of the garments and this made it relate slightly back to Autumn '12.
Vintage jeans and boxy polo shirts were also available which could be made more 'summer' with the help of block nude heels and retro sunnies.
This collection had something for everyone.

The swimwear was divine, especially the white tiger bikini and the world map body, both of which are on my purchase list for the holiday season!

Accessories were based on geometric shapes and were bold in colour, also big statement necklaces and beaded bracelets are looking to be big this summer.
