  20. These are my fave posts of yours, and the Jill Sander shirt is heaven, ah it just makes me want to wear a rainbow!!! I love it xxxxx

  23. I’m so glad that colour is back in a big way – it makes me happy and I’m feeling ready for spring.

    I would like to have the coloured hair just to try the braid!!!
    best,

  55. The Jil Sander shirt is so amazing, I don’t remember seeing this ANYWHERE last year!! Should have known you would buy that Jonathan Saunders t-shirt, I saw it on Net A Porter the other day and bookmarked it just in case there are any left come sale time! Hoping to score some brightly coloured items at the Meadham Kirchhoff sample sale (fingers crossed that there will actually be one!), PLEASE post the invitation if you get sent it!!

  59. Well Whattadya know, yet another great site to add to my reader! Great post! you have some brilliant contents!
    I found your blog when I was looking for a different sort of information but I was very happy and glad to read through your blog. The information available here is great.printed mugs

  67. Wow I really love the colours! I utterly adore the dress, it’s so pretty and summery! Gorgeous. I think people need to wear more colours, just because it’s getting into winter doesn’t mean we should stop wearing colours and just wear black.

  70. Do you still have the slip dress? It’s incredible!!!

    pls let me buy it if u still have ;)) xoxo
