SO the mayhem that is London Fashion Week (and Paris, New York and Milan) is finally over!  Always a funny time of year for me this - as much as I live, breathe and eat fashion, it does seem a bit odd to be thinking about what we’ll be wearing next Summer, when i’m only just getting round to accepting the fact that Winter is on its way!!  Oh well, us fashionistas always like to be one step ahead.  I suppose it is good in one way, in that if I am going to be spending money on a big purchase, like a leather jacket, it’s easier to do if I know it’s going to be something I’ll wear into next season too.

So, what do the movers and shakers in the fashion world predict we are going to be wearing next summer?

So this weekend me and my other half (aka hectic dad to be!) had a relaxing weekend break in Barcelona – our last treat before we become a family of three!! Aside from the fact that the five star hotel had the most amazing breakfasts (well I am eating for two now!) including free glasses of champagne – the highlight of my weekend had to be lounging round the pool yesterday with LL Cool J and his family!!!

For all you hectic mum’s out there with no time to keep up-to-date with the trends for this season – here’s a short and sweet intro to what the designers are predicting for Spring/Summer 2009.

One of the hottest trends this summer is the revival of the 1980s…and the good news is its continuing on into winter too. Any trend that carries on from one season to the next is always good news for hectic mums because you only need to buy one or two pieces to update your wardrobe and you’ll be good for the next six months!!

An easy way to buy into this trend is to get one of the slouchy t-shirts that’s around at the moment – a good example is this Oversized T-shirt by Vila

Great colour, great graphic and cute shaped hem at the back to cover any junk in your trunk!!!
Wear this with a great pair of black leggings and some cute black ankle boots and the girls won’t recognise you!!! You’ll be the hottest hectic mum in town!!
