Diane Von Furstenberg SS09

Spring is in the air, flowers are blooming, we've got our hippy headbands on so it's time to go back to the summer of love and embrace the sixties trend.

As the Spring trends hit the shops were wearing all things floral and brightly coloured so now it's time to kick things up a gear and really go for the hippy trend with flower patterned maxi dresses, beaded bracelets and floral  headbands.

Elasticated headbands have been big news for a while now but now we're lusting after floral and ribbon bands, like at Diane Von Furstenberg, worn over the top of the hair for a real flower power.

The trend for Western style fringing can also be worked into the hippy trend as fringed bags and shoes also have a sixties trend, remember just a touch though, the real focus here should be flowers.

Beaded, colourful bracelets are a subtle way to touch into this trend, and if you can get beads that spell out the words peace or love, even better!

Most importantly the clothes, think Nicole Richie, you want patterns, colour and lots of it. Wether its a mini dress, maxi dress or a top you're wearing it should be bright, summery colours like yellow, green and orange with abstract or floral patterns.

So come on girls channel your inner hippy and get some flower power this Spring.
