How did you wear your flowers?

I was pretty excited to sit back, and wait a while, to see just what the creative ladies of the blogosphere were going to do with H&M's long awaited Garden Collection. As always, it was not disappointing, they each styled the most wanted pieces in heir own individual and personal ways. It definitely looks like, the red rose jacket was one of the most successful pieces, along with the fan and rose dresses.

But this collection was not all about the pretty dresses, the other pieces especially the floral leggings, skirts and brown shorts worked great as transitional looks. And, then of course they were the endless choice of floral dresses in all sizes, forms and textures to chose from, but chose is one thing this ladies didn't do. They seemed to have all gone home with at least two or three pieces of this near perfect collection.

Sadly for me I didn't get my hands of the red rose dress I was longing for, but I did pick up the nude fan dress, and the floral ruffle dress which I am pretty happy with, and thanks to the lovely  Ela I now have the chunky colourful necklace too. I will try and post some pictures soon, but the boyfriend has deserted me to go and sit under the sun in Cannes and thus leaving me with a remote and a tripod. A whole new experience for me!

For those of you, you haven't yet participated in the big giveaway and who want to, there is still plenty of time. All you have to do is comment on this post. Good Luck!!

Mix & Match

Sources: Susanna

Here is a trend I have grown to be really found of, just because it represent perfectly what fashion is all about. It's not about what's in and out (okay maybe  a little) and it's not about following someone's rules. It is much simpler than that, indeed it is about having fun with what you have, it's about representing on the outside what you feel inside, and more importantly it's about having fun. What better way than to simply mix and match colourful prints and what a great way to transition from the winter prints we have been wearing (i.e. stripes, stripes and more stripes) into the summer ones we can't just quite wear yet.

One blogger who don't shy away from bright colours and bold prints, and who sure plays the game of Mix and Match well, isSusanna (aka Susie Bubble (as seen above)). Love her for stepping out of  'conventional fashion' and creating such jaw dropping outfits!!

"Oh Danny Boy"

What do these beauties have in common you might ask? Well in case you havent spotted the large chunk of equally gorgeous wood dangling of their feet, it's the blogged famous Dany shoes by JS. I don't know what it is with them, but I have found my self very attracted to them and pondering just how I might be able to balance myself on a pair of these beauties. These are not normally the kind of heels i gravitate towards (admire the choice of words) but hey f they look good and the catwalk, look great on these girls why can't they look just as good on me? And god know I could uses the extra inches that comes with them. Well I have looked and searched for someone to deliver these over to our little Island but with no such luck...until... Bakershoes who have kindly offered my desperate self a pair of silver Dany platforms and will ship them to the UK!

Now all I have to do is be patient (I think I'm capable of such a thing) and start practicing walking on stilts. Then again, if I can't walk in them, I hope I can at least look this good twirling around in my office chair. That will do!

Spotted dotted & New owner

Here is a fun trend and a welcome change from all the stripes we have been seeing lately; Dots and loads of them. Above, the girls are sporting the large version of the dotted clothing. This looks especially good in dark blue/black and white, I can just imagine this paired with a green cardo oversized shirt. I also love the fact that it looks great paired with stripes, perfect transition look from the stripes to the dots.

The smaller version of dots have been seeing on just about any item of clothing and I love how it instantly gives any outfit a fun and youthful side to it. It looks like its time to swap you basic skirts, jackets and harem pants for dotted versions.

For a more vintage and old school look, try the black/blue or even red dots on white fabric. I really enjoy the 'homy' feel these small coloured dots convey an these girls make it look so effortless, it's perfect. Will you be going dotted this spring or will you stay faithfully in the stripped club?

New owner of my Nué colourful wedges: So, I took the time to appreciate and read through all your comments, emails, inboxes, DirectMessages and all other social communications. As I said before, I was not looking for a buyer but a new loving owner for these lovelies and I am happy to announce that the new proud owner is the author and creator of My Kinda Magazine. When checking out her blog, I immediately new that these wedges were made for someone like here who really knows how to make fashion playful and fun. So Congratulations and I will get in contact very shortly!
