In the Summertime

It seems like Summer has come early to England this week. The streets of Manchester are full of Summer fashion - from daring hotpant-wearers to those embracing the hippy vibe of the long length skirt. Either way, everyone is dressing for the sunshine! Here in Wanderland, we're celebrating the beautiful weather with a host of bright colours adorning our shelves. Colour is one of the huge fashion trends of the season - the S/S '11 catwalks were an optical explosion of vivid shades - and it's a great way to get into the Summer spirit!

 Colour at Jil Sander's S/S 2011 Catwalk Show


On the catwalks of Jil Sander, the brights trend was paired with the new long length shapes, and what with all the long and mid-length skirts we have in stock at the moment, Wanderland are doing the same. Here's how we're embracing colour with a vintage twist,  the Wanderland way.

 Turquoise Skirt - £18
White Top - £16
Headscarf - £5
Brooch - £6
Gold Clutch - £10
Metallic Shoes - £22
Clip-on Earrings - £4


Pairing brights with neutrals and metallic accessories makes them super-easy to wear, and pairing with a matching headscarf tied turban-style gives a great vintage feel. If you're not brave enough for full-on colour, bright accessories are a great alternative - headbands, scarves, hats or shoes. Here's some of the other sunny shades we're loving in Wanderland right now.



Scarves - £6, Mustard Skirt - £18, Glamorous White Shirt - £19, Bally Sandals - £22, Geometric pattern shirt - £18, 
White Pleat Skirt - £18, Mustard Shirt - £16, Gold Belt  -£8, Locket - £6, Bow Headband - £4.50


Here's hoping for another sunny week!
