Peplum.

Making a come back from the 1940s/'50s, peplums featured in  many of this seasons runway collections from Stella Mccartney to Givenchy and McQueen. And it's no wonder why. The peplum could not be a more flattering shape. With its nipped-in waist and flared out frill, that skims the hips in just the right place, this small addition of fabric can transform any woman into a sexual goddess, rivaling that of Marylin Monroe (we can dream), in seconds. 

The highstreet has taken a 'tougher' approach to the trend (as seen in H&M and Warehouse with their leather peplum tops), however, I could not resist the charms of this sweet peplum pencil skirt from Hakaan.
