 To add to these picks, keep in mind that this season is also about showing your shoulders with bandeaus (maybe with stoles and wraps), layering your pleated skirts with trousers and mixing spring colours with winter clothing. Don't be afraid to wear your feminine pieces with manly - looking like a boy is in this season. Going back in time to reach for inspiration is always the key for the designers (Everything comes from something), this season it is all the way back from the medieval times and the renaissance to the 20's, 40's, 70's, punk and millennium. If you still have pyjama and oriental pieces from the last season, don't yet through them out, they are still in!

Loafers

Loafers have been on the streets for quite a while now. But this upcoming season these slip-on moccasin style shoes are especially popular since the flats are again seen on the catwalks. 

Ever.Now

Last weekend I went to take a quick peek into Lisboa Fashion Week events. I must admit it was excitingly different. I picked out 3 designers that stood out for me - Dino Alves, Nuno Gama and Sangue Novo.
