SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Whatever Game of Thrones might be telling you, Winter is most certainly not coming. Spring has sprung, the temperatures are on the increase and I even went out without a coat today. All of this means that Summer is on its way and we can look forward to putting our delightful tights away (thank God) and buying clothes in colours that aren't black. Hurrah! 

I'm not sure what my Summer will be shaping up like this year. I have a long summer break (10 weeks, I know, I know) and although I'm looking forward to all the R&R, I need to fill it with something so stop my brain from melting. My best friend and I are planning an excursion to Barcelona for some culture and well needed sunshine (seriously, I have a Vitamin D deficiency) and I can't wait for the other summer adventures that are in the pipeline. 

This outfit was put together in a moment of Summer anticipation. Topshop's crepe bralets in mint and black are almost sold out online, probably because they're well priced and versatile. Pair this mint one with white (and these gorgeous sandals) for a real summer vibe.

TED BAKER AW13

On Wednesday I attended the Ted Baker AW13 show as a community correspondent for Polyvore! The show took place at the Farmiloe Building in London which was an amazing space; open, airy and full of eye catching features. The backdrop read 'Ted Baker: take the scenic route' which set the theme of the show: travel. The decor included lots of suitcases and signs to make it feel like we were in an old train station. 

The clothes were beautiful; men in swathes of workwear, reading papers and drinking coffee, women in a set of rainbow outerwear which would brighten up any winter day. A parade of two-piece female suits in various prints were accompanied by conductors hats, sexing up the idea of train attendants. The show culminated in a romantic cacophony of evening dresses, embellishment, sharp jackets and polished heels, all to the acoustic sounds of 'Let Me Love You'. Ted, we do.
