How did you wear your flowers?

I was pretty excited to sit back, and wait a while, to see just what the creative ladies of the blogosphere were going to do with H&M's long awaited Garden Collection. As always, it was not disappointing, they each styled the most wanted pieces in heir own individual and personal ways. It definitely looks like, the red rose jacket was one of the most successful pieces, along with the fan and rose dresses.

But this collection was not all about the pretty dresses, the other pieces especially the floral leggings, skirts and brown shorts worked great as transitional looks. And, then of course they were the endless choice of floral dresses in all sizes, forms and textures to chose from, but chose is one thing this ladies didn't do. They seemed to have all gone home with at least two or three pieces of this near perfect collection.

Sadly for me I didn't get my hands of the red rose dress I was longing for, but I did pick up the nude fan dress, and the floral ruffle dress which I am pretty happy with, and thanks to the lovely  Ela I now have the chunky colourful necklace too. I will try and post some pictures soon, but the boyfriend has deserted me to go and sit under the sun in Cannes and thus leaving me with a remote and a tripod. A whole new experience for me!

For those of you, you haven't yet participated in the big giveaway and who want to, there is still plenty of time. All you have to do is comment on this post. Good Luck!!

Trompe l'oeil

If you remember one of my very first posts, I spoke about the collaboration between Rosalind Keep and Oasis. Last week, I received my very own Keep creation, and I have to say  really like it. It's fun and a bit different! I am just a bit worried I look like I'm wearing an apron.

White shirt and flares

I hope you are all having a nice long Easter weekend! Just a quick outfit post with one of the outfits I wore over the weekend, and probably one of my favourite combinations; a crisp oversized white shirt and a pair of jeans. A simple classic and one were you really can't go wrong.

Hopefully by Thursday all my work will be finished and I can have some breathing time again, if that is the case I really want to go to the Sketchbook's first pop up shop, which is currently happening over at Carnaby street, London. Next week there will be panel discussion about 'blogs and brands' which I though could be really interesting. Has anyone already been and checked it out by any chance or plan to?
