Thrift inspiration, Doing it Matthew Williamson Style!!

On trend for this summer is 'tropical', which the Matthew Williamson for H&M range have highlighted for their summer collection. Birds and peacocks are very popular prints and are bang on trend for this season.

Matthew Williamson for H&M blouse and kaftan, due out mid May-pictures are from the Vogue UK June supplement

Earlier in the season, I spotted this cute top in my local High Street ethnic store for only £1. Made in India, its a very tropical print and such a versatile piece too.


I can wear it with the buttons done up as a blouse or open as a short sleeve jacket. The collar and sleeves have a lovely scalloped edging, so Chloe-esque!!

Will you be in to the 'tropical' trend this summer?

Je t'aime Paris

Well, I had my day trip to Paris with my friends from work this weekend and it was totally fabulous!! First stop was the Notre Dame Cathedral, where we also went in and had a look around. Totally stunning and beautiful and there was a service going on too!

We then walked past the Louvre and its gardens, past Cleopatras Needle and the mini Arc De Triomphe and had a pitstop for an ice cream. Then it was up the Champs Elysees, stopping en route at Louis Vuitton for a spot of window shopping. I then had a late lunch of a three cheese pannini and lemon tart and then it was a leisurely walk to the big Arc De Triomphe and then on to the Eiffel Tower. We first went on a river boat cruise and then up the Tower to the top-totally awesome!! With the day finished, it was back on the Eurostar to London and a train home!

So here are some pictures of my day out-hope you enjoy them!!

Oh-how I swooned when I saw this really gorgeous cream leather jacket at Topshop :-)

I just needed to do a post on it to remind me what I missed out on, LOL!!
