A Palette Of Pastels

Although there is still a very bitter chill in the air and a forecast for a dust of snow this afternoon, I can't help but gaze over the new in pieces at some of my favourite retailers. My wish list for this week is all about items from the pretty pastel trend that has all females, including myself, in a flutter. This trend oozes soft, sugary sherbet tones in very simple and classic cuts. Loose fitting blouses, pleated skirts and floaty silk trousers are all must-have products I'll be filling my wardrobe with. For now, I've got my eye on these 3 picks that will be easy to wear now and will carry me through to the spring season.

1) This pretty in peach fluid blazer from Topshop, £60

2) This mint green studio shirt from Zara, £59.99

3) This lavender blue scalloped shell top from Topshop, £28

A Little Trip To Cambridge

Last weekend, I took a little trip to Cambridge to explore the delights of this city. The city centre itself is beautiful with the historic University taking pride of place, a quaint market in the town square and the little intertwining cobbled streets filled with surprises. From fashion boutiques to old-fashioned carts selling Falafel, Cambridge hosts a variety of fantastic stores and restaurants all with a quintessential twist.

From adorable interior stores filled with sweet little gifts to make your home a home

To quirky fashion boutiques with rails of fabulous finds

From favourite high-street brands located in gorgeous historic buildings (making it that little bit more enticing!)

To witty window displays

From really great little cafes crammed with books and nostalgic bits & bobs

To retro sweet shops Willy Wonka style!

Cambridge is a host to a fantastic array of under stated retailers and restaurants hidden down the side streets and around little corners. A place well worth exploring. Best of all...you can top it off with one of the best hot chocolates around. Topped with cream and tons more chocolate of course. 

Kate Moss For Mango

This week it was announced that our favourite British icon, Kate Moss, is the new face of Mango's SS 12 campaign. Not only do we get to see her in some stunning still images but she also stars in a fashion in motion TV ad called 'Spy Game.' Here's a sneak peak of the lady herself in action. The new collection consists of contemporary, timeless pieces in a soft palette of pastels and a touch of glitzy sequins and Kate just adds that extra touch of chic classic style. She's done it again.  

Scarf Print Trend

Love Love Love this scarf print shirt, £30 from Next. Working this trend has never been easier with a simple cut collarless shirt with a pop up colour at a fabulous price. Thanks Next.
