So long, Winter

It's officially March and Spring trends are in the air!

I may have been banging on about harem pants, feathers and fringing for a while but now is the month to really go to town so here's a run-down of some March must-buys.

Blazers: Navy or grey with turned up sleeves. This will become your sunny-weather staple and it's worth spending a few quid to get it right.

Watch on a chain: Scaled-down Flava Flav style. Layer with three or four other chains over a vest and under your new blazer to be the coolest kid in town.

Statement heels: Sculpted heels, big prints. Just make sure your feet are the centre of attention

Bright dresses: Big bold colours. Fuschia and tangerine are bang on.

Eighties prints: Be it tops, dresses or leggings, detailed angular prints are a spring win.

Jumpsuits? Really?

I'm torn. My head says no way José, but my heart says do it! I'm talking of course about fashion's latest penchant for the all-in-one. Could I really wear one to work on a cold and dreary Monday morning? Would my friends not laugh in my face if I turned up to my local for a quick V&C in an one-piece?

The rules, or so I hear, are keep it loose, choose harem pants if you're feeling particularly brave and avoid at all costs anything camel-toe inducing. Ruching's good too.

Here are some that are fast luring me back to the eighties.

Just peachy

By now, you probably know that colour blocking is key to looking totally on trend this season. So cheer yourself up in this wintry weather by rocking a bit of bright in the form of some peach or coral tones.

You can even go as bright as tangerine shades, which look fab teemed with fuschia for the full colour-contrasting effect.

As always, here are some suggestions of how you can carry off corals and still have some money left for a summery cocktail to match.

I heart fringing

Move over Pochahontas, because we're stealing your style for S/S 09.

Diane Von Furstenberg, Jil Sander and Louis Vuitton all showcased a range of to-die-for fringed accessories on the new year catwalks and now the high-street has caught on.

So get tassling and try out any of these for size. Just make sure if you like it, you go and put a fringe on it.

1. New Look - Fringed shopper - £10
2. Top Shop - Abu fringe ankle boot - £65
3. ASOS - Long metal fringe necklace - £9.79
