I have always loved China Blue-the most memorable style example of this for me is the Roberto Cavalli dress that Victoria Beckham wore and here it is on the catwalk:
The Ming Vase dress really is a stunning work of art and design-the pattern, cut and styling are just perfection and is just gorgeous in simple blue and white hues.
So on to what is available at the moment- over at Atterley Road this shirt by MiH is a traditional print with up to the minute styling-so perfect with blue or white jeans in the height of summer:
Then going in to double digits we have this lovely shirt from Marks & Spencer-I have actually seen this in store and it looks so much better than the pictures give it justice-the print features florals, fruit and birds-I really love this and may yet decide to indulge, check it out on the link below to see it better:
But definitely my bargain of the week was this lovely floaty oversized square scarf for dipping into this trend- just a bargainous £4 from Primark and it's a lovely vivid blue too:
The print is of trees, horses and cottages and is really cute and quirky, definitely one I can't wait to wear this coming season. The material of this is a sheer polyester crepe and Primark also have another different china blue design in a more denser viscose material and it is a long line scarf, also £4.
The print of the scarf in more detail-sorry for the creases!!
What colours are you looking forward to wearing this summer, will you try the China Blue trend?

Lovely scarf and unusual too. Is it a current season one - I've not seen it around.
Hi Sue-yes, I bought it on Friday, they definitely have some new designs instore.
gorgeous print and a great price, lovely way to meet the trends. I'm not sure what colours to go for this season, I've a wedding to go to so I am considering monochrome to clash with my purple LBs. xx
That Cavalli collection is one of my all time favourites! I do love this type of print too. Love your scarf!
Great scarf and so similar to the ultrs-expensive Roberto Cavalli!
What a beautiful scarf! Love that print!

That scarf is beautiful, perfect with denim! x
It's gorgeous! I love this type of print too! I thrifted an amazing Per Una speziale skirt in this sort of pattern (Salvation Army I think) ages ago. Sadly, I decided to get rid of it when having a clear out! A pity as if I'd have still had it, I would have given it to you!x
A gorgeous Primarni bargain and I do love the China blue that's out there now. Lovely.

Lovely! I saw some other examples in Primark, too - tops and flippy skirts.
China blue is lovely, especially against a sun tan...do you think we'll ever see sun again?!!! x
I love those china blue prints too. They work so well with denim for the summer.
Gorgeous trend and the scarf is a beaut. I recently bought a blue and white long blue brocade coat from the 70s on Etsy - the colours fit with what you have here and I love the crisp colour combo. Hopefully it will be warm soon so I can model it!
I've been collecting blue and white china for over 20 years, so I do love looking at it! Cobalt is such a joyful color, and it is def big for spring! One color I'm going to play with more is orange- I see it on others and it looks so fresh to me. Orange will go great with "China Blue," so I might be mixing it all up too!
Hi ladies-thanking you all for your fabulous comments, lovely to hear what you will all be wearing this summer!! xxx
Definitely, I love this trend. And the scarf is lovely :)
