High Street Hits: Let It Shine

Whilst the festive season is a wonderful time for sparkle I'm glad to see one shiny trend making its way into the warmer months.
Burberry Prosum's SS13 collection has me swooning as it takes the classic trenchcoat and gives it a high-shine metallic twist in vivid jewel tones of pink, bronze, green, purple and blue as well as the classic gold, and silver. Then little Romeo Beckham looks so dapper with his adorable winning smile whilst showcasing the metallic trend in Burberry's new ad campaign.
All in all it's a trend that suits this full-time magpie very well. There are some smart sales buys to be made now with cheerful pieces which will transition through the months and still look fabulous in the Summer sunshine.
Meanwhile if you're still on the look out for a new Winter coat like me be sure to take a peek at the gorgeous trendy plus size coats from Marisota.

High Street Hits: Summer to Autumn Florals

It may feel like we're lucky to be getting even a little sunshine thanks to the good old British weather and I really don't want to be wishing Summer away, but the shops are filling up with the most gorgeous Autumn/Winter clothes! I'm a firm believer that florals are not just for Summer so I'm always curious to see how they will be worked into the collections for the chillier months. Here are some richly warm-toned florals I've spied on the high street which will look gorgeous in the rays of the sun but also carry through to the crisp Autumnal months.
