My ever growing Mulberry wishlist!

Once again I've been browsing the Mulberry website and dreaming of my next purchase.  It's been nearly six months since I bought my last bag and I'm starting to get the Mulberry shakes.

I'm trying to convince myself that as I already have the Daria Hobo (a great day bag), the Carter Camera (the perfect smaller day bag),  I now NEED an evening bag to add to my ever growing collection.  And I just so happen to have found the perfect one!

Mulberry Lily £550

Garden Party Chic by River Island

I don't know about you but I already feel like I've lived the Jubilee ten times over!  I'm hoping not to be over it all by the time the actual celebrations arrive but I'm sure a few pimms in the garden will get me back in the party spirit.

If like me you've got a few occasions to go to over the bank holiday weekend and still can't decide what to wear I may have the answer to your problem.

River Island have a very quirky jubilee blazer and short set.  It might not be to everyones taste but I think it'll look great with a button up shirt and a pair of wedges.

Blue print jubilee blazer £40

Blue print jubilee high waisted shorts £20

Jubilee Splurge - Edie Parker Clutch

If you're extremely patriotic and have some cash to splash then I might just have the perfect Jubilee accessory for you. New York based label Edie Parker have designed this Jean Geo Clutch in red, white and blue, perfect for adding that little extra special touch to your attire for the upcoming celebrations.

I admit that it might be a bit too pricey for most of us but if you can spare the cash it's a great investment piece for such a landmark occasion. Who knows, it may even become a collectable and be worth more money in years to come!  I'm clutching at straws here!

Carrying this little beauty is enough to make even the Queen herself green with envy.

Black Milk Leggings

I've recently been introduced to Black Milk, an Australian clothing brand with one of the coolest selection of leggings that I've seen.

Created by James Lillis several years ago when he found himself broke and bored and bought a sewing machine.  After many knock backs James decided to make his brand an online only store and hasn't looked back since!

The leggings are totes up my street, the only issue for me is how many pairs can I afford to buy!

Green swallow dress as seen on Lydia Bright

Yet again Lydia was sporting another vintage inspired dress in last nights Towie and it seems that like me quite a few of you want to know where it's from.  After seeing a tweet from the lady herself I can confirm that like most of her dresses it's another Bella Sorella purchase.

Some of the looks she's been rocking of late are tempting me to head on over to her shop to see what treats I can pick up for myself.  But, if Essex is as bit of a trek for you but you would also like a slice of Lydia's style, fear not as you can buy most of the outfits she's been seen wearing in the show online at

With this years Cannes Film Festival well and truly under way, I thought now would be a great time for me to share some of my fashion highlights with you.

The A-listers in attendance have certainly given us an array of amazing outfits from off duty looks to full on glamour!

Blumarines orange floral dress as seen on Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf

I've finally caught up on all the TV I recorded whilst I was away last week in sunnier climes(I know, I need to get myself a life)!  And I was suitably impressed with the fashion on last weeks episode of Gossip Girl.

Most episodes are full of little treasures but Blair's bright orange floral dress was definitely a highlight for me.
It caught my eye so much that I had a dig around so that I could share it with you folks and discovered that it's part of Blumarines S/S 2012 collection.

Don't you think that it's the perfect outfit for a summer wedding?

Lydia Bright's vintage style shorts

Lydia's outfit at the Waitrose Summer Party on Thursday has to be my one of my favourite looks of hers. 

It's such a chic and stylish choice and a great option for all the Jubilee garden parties coming up in the next few weeks.

Adding the navy jacket to the look makes it a perfect outfit for this time of year when there's still a chill in the air.

The floral vintage style shorts are of course from Lydia's shop Bella Sorella and come in at just £28!

Christian Louboutin Exhibition

Last night I went to the Christian Louboutin exhibition at the Design Museum in London with the aim to take some photos to share with you all but was promptly greeted with a no photography sign!

Here are a few cheeky photos I managed to get before entering the exhibition area.

Brights and patterns in Cyprus!

So, it's been 3 days since I got back from my hols and it doesn't even feel like I've been away! 

All the outfits I purchased before going away worked a treat in the glorious sunshine and scorching hot evenings (it was 25 degrees at 9.30pm).

Thought I'd share with you some of the looks I put together.  Be warned there's some horrendous poses and dance moves in some of the pics!!

Have no idea what I'm doing in this pic!!

Funky moves or what!?!

Spotted someone else in this Primark playsuit too

Chloe Green's Shoe Launch

Don't forget Chloe Green's shoe collection goes on sale tomorrow 17th May, you can get them on CJG.com

Roaring Forties

Roaring or should I say Steaming Forties!  The Bodmin & Wenford Railway recently hosted 'Steaming Through the Forties' a weekend dedicated to the 40's, with vintage stalls, singers & lots of people dressed in 40's fashion.  We had a great ride on a steam train & felt like we went back in time.  Definitely worth a visit.

Lavish Alice Sequin Collar Blouse as seen on Louise MIC

As you all probably know by now the wine coloured version of this blouse has sold out since Louise was spotted wearing it on MIC but fear not they still have the mint green, lilac & pastel pink available which are perfect for the summer (when it finally arrives!)  Best of all it's only £24!

Louise Made In Chelsea - studded collar shirt

As you know I've got a thing for collars at the moment and in last nights Made In Chelsea, Louise wore a very stylish white shirt with a gold studded collar.

I've been on a little hunt today and found the shirt in question on Zara's website for £59.99!  If you want to grab yourself one, be quick because anything seen on Louise sells out like hot cakes.

At The Corner Shop, a great little online boutique

I'm always on the look out for new fashion blogs and websites and recently came across At The Corner Shop, a quirky online boutique.

With years of experience in boutique style, independent fashion and jewellery design, the girls behind it all were inspired by the recession to create something that would put a smile back on our faces!

With one-off pieces at low prices it's definitely worth a look.

Cheryl Cole's Call My Name Video

How frickin HOT does our Chezza look in the video for her latest single Call My Name!?!

She may have been off the radar for the last year or so but this video proves that she's well and truly back.

Pulling out all the stops fashion wise with printed trousers, floral jacket, pattern clashes and neon shoes.  This lady knows her stuff when it comes to fashion.

If I thought I could pull it off I'd wear the floral jacket and leopard print knickers on my holiday next week!

My latest holiday buys

Some of you may have noticed that there's a slight theme to my most recent purchases.  For some reason I can't seem to stop myself from buying things with buttons and a collar! 

As soon as I enter a shop my tracking device kicks in and I'm drawn straight to the shirts and button up dresses.  My wardrobe is rapidly filling up with them!

These latest buys are perfect for my holiday next week.  I'm thinking, tuck the orange shirt in a long black pleated skirt, what do you think?

New Look £24.99

New Look £14.99

Fearne Cotton's Sonia Rykiel Star Print Trousers

After seeing Fearne Cotton's outfit last night on celeb juice, my style crush on the lady in question has rapidly grown!

I've got a massive thing for printed trousers at the moment anyway and the Sonia Rykiel ones that Fearne had on have catapulted straight to the top of my wish list.

It's not the first time she's been spotted in these star beauties.  Fearne also wore them on a recent night out with her fella Jessie Wood.

I love the contrast that the bright coral top she's paired them with brings to the look.

The outfits bang on trend and makes me very envious of her wardrobe!

Update your look by grabbing yourself a pair online at Net-a-Porter for £275.

Holiday Wardrobe Dramas

What a day!?!  It's been so hectic, I seem to have been running around like a headless chicken for the best part of it!  The only thing that kept me going was the thought that this time next week I'll be soaking up the sun in boiling hot (and dry) Cyprus.

The other thoughts running through my mind were what outfits should I pack and how many bikinis should I take!?!  Don't get me wrong, I love a holiday but absolutely hate packing with a passion.  If I could afford it I'd just buy a new outfit everyday whilst I was away, not sure the greek fashion is my cup of tea though!  Maybe I could just pay someone to pack for me?

After tonnes of deliberating I think I've finally got a rough idea of what outfits I'm taking but now I'm stuck on shoes.  Do I bother taking heels? Or do I just stick with sandals?  I normally end up making the mistake of packing a few pairs of heels and spend the whole holiday in flats.  If I just take sandals then it gives me more space for bags and surely that can only be a good thing, right?

So, onto bikinis!  I have about 15 to choose from but I'm only away for 7 days so the selection needs to be cut, drastically! Oh the dramas I have to deal with, ay!

And there was me thinking holidays were meant to be relaxing.
