01.01.2011- Happy New Year!

Hold on to Your Hat, Lula Spring/Summer 2009 by Stacey Mark.

Happy New Year everyone! Whether you danced the night away or (like me) were tucked up in bed before midnight, I hope you greeted 2011 with a smile. Here's to the next twelve months being happy, healthy and harmonious for us all.

How did you see in the New Year? And have you made any resolutions?

30.12.2010- Spring in my step

If you're already disillusioned with the end of season sales which are everywhere at the moment, I bring you a refreshing antidote- a sneaky preview of Topshop's SS11 collections:

Homespun Handiwork- cut-out, crochet, think Woodstock.

Print Overload- 70's shapes and vibrant prints, all paired together to clash.

Earthy Stones- a touch of the Wild West with the obligatory cowboy hat.

Colour Pop- accessories in a range of rainbow brights.

The Midi Skirt- a more bohemian take on the ladylike trend.

The Kick Flare- touted as the staple item of the season, letting you release your inner glam rocker.

I adore the printed blouse/dress in the first picture, and, as we saw at London Fashion Week, Topshop's Unique collection for next season looks great. I'm already in love with this beautiful butterfly printed blouse, which I saw in store today...

Cream Butterfly Print Flute Sleeve Blouse, £45, TOPSHOP.

...although I can't quite justify buying spring clothes in December!

What do you think of Topshop's SS11 range? Are you looking forward to the new collections hitting the shops?

27.12.2010- Crimbo Limbo

After the excitement of Christmas Day, we now have that funny in-betweeny time until New Year known as Crimbo Limbo. As well as eating nearly my body weight in chocolate (once you open a selection box, it's lethal!), watching the Miranda Christmas special on repeat and slowly making a dent in the many new additions to my DVD collection, I've also had a chance to catch up with loads of fashion editorials I'd missed, including this beautiful shoot from Zink magazine:

Mariana Idzkowska by Waldemar Hansson, styled by Kawa H Pour.

Definitley a bit of inspiration for a glamourous New Year I think!

Did you have a good Christmas? Have you snapped up any bargains in the sale? And what are your plans for New Year?

Also, over Christmas I reached 100 followers! Thank you all for your return visits and lovely comments, if I could make you all a cake and share it with you then I would. ♥
