Jonathan Saunders for Debenhams

After finding a Jonathan Saunders for Topshop dress late last year at the Red Cross charity shop, I've really got to like his use of colour blocking and neutrals, so it was great to see he has launched a collection for Debenhams.

I do love a High Street and Designer Collaboration, so I thought I'd do a post highlighting what Jonathan has designed.

Here are the pick of my favourites:

Colour Block Tee, £28

Black and White Midi Skirt, £45

Lime Chiffon Top, £38

White Colour Block Blazer, £60

Check out his collection here, it really is quite inspirational with some lovely basic pieces in great summer neutrals.

Outfit Post-Bold Colours for Winter

As I've been off this week and not having to wear a uniform-hurrah, I thought I should do an overdue outfit post.

This outfit is my Versace 90s electric blue jeans, they're amazingly comfortable, very stretchy and I love the vibrancy of them. I teamed it with the United Colours of Benetton top, both items were thrifted a few weeks ago.

I'm wearing my black Dune ankle boots, which were thrifted a couple of years ago.

I'm normally in dark colours for winter, so it made a pleasant change to add some colour to my winter outfit.

Are you managing to put some colour into your winter outfits?

Summer Jacket Inspiration

Typical British weather always means that a a jacket is always generally required in Spring and quite a few days in summer too.

Colour is very much in trend this season and if you're still thinking of a summer jacket or coat, then J D Williams have a great selection of womens jackets in many different styles and colours to choose from.

Here are my favourite picks of keeping in style and colour this Summer:

Red Sailing Jacket, £15.01

Leopardprint Pac a Parka, From £17.50

Lime Parka, £30

Summer is only a few months away and it will be so nice to start wearing pieces without tights, socks, vests or layers underneath!

Superdry Skinny Jeans, £54.99

Influence Palazzo Pants, £29.99

I'm loving the shorts, so these have inspired me to stock up on some different styles for summer. Whats on your summer wishlist?

Sunday Booty, Charity Shopping and Camden

Sunday was an early start for hubby and I, we drove all the way to Nevenden in Basildon for a boot sale that wasn't on-oops, so we then detoured to Willow farm boot sale in Purfleet.

It was my first proper outdoor booty for the year so I was keen to pick up some bargains. I did quite well, I got a Laura Lees for Topshop chiffon leopardprint blouse, tan leather Topshop belt, a leopardprint scarf, a Topshop summer blouse and some elbow length Dents gold gloves-Christina, I'm sure they're the same as yours!!

We then jumped in the car and took a leisurely drive towards London and we stopped off at a couple of charity shops en route-Mind and RSPCA in Highgate.

Hubby got a Gap Merino wool v neck sweater, a Paul Smith shirt and a Banana Republic cardigan. I got a silk Jaeger scarf and these awesome gold leather snakeskin sandal shoe boots by Faith-only £8!!!

I was so chuffed with them, I kept them on for our journey to Camden, where we stopped for something to eat and treated our youngest boy to a new pair of limited edition Superman Converses.

The cobbles in Camden didn't bode well for these sandals, so once we got back in the car, I kicked them off and gave my feet a rest, lol!! But I don't regret getting them, they're not shoes for shopping in or walking on cobbles, so my own fault really!!

I'm standing outside a restaurant that has a swing outside it!!

It was a great day out and a good start to my week off, I shall be generally chilling out and doing not too much, well I might check out the local charity shops, it would be rude not to!!

Have a good week ahead everyone!!
