I know it's raining but that doesn't stop me having spring in my heart. I love re-using and reinventing outfits and especially since having Arthur the clothes budget has disappeared very quickly as I suddenly have to dress and clothe another person. So it's pretty important when buying a new outfit to take in consideration quality, price and style. I like things to last a fairly longtime but also have to work on a smaller budget so I thought I would look at New Looks spring/summer collection, as over the years I feel the brand and has improved in terms of design and quality and have also started working with and stocking other brands such as Ravel, Dune, Firetrap, Iron fist, Moda in Pelle, Wonderbra and Steve Madden to name a few. So with a £30 budget I wanted to see if I could get a pair of summer sandals and a vintage inspired dressed (was I asking for too much?). When I came across this cute little sleeveless polka dot dress I thought it would make a great summer staple......

Guess Watches Spring/Summer love
Retro...fresh....eye-catching are all words that describe the new spring/summer Guess watch collection. The campaign was shot at a motel in LA and has a real vintage feel to it married with the modern and pop colour watches. Paul Marciano, the creative director of Guess described this best - "The spring 2012 campaign reminds every Guess Girl and Guy of what it means to represent the beauty of the past in a way that glorifies the present. I'm really impressed with there fearless approach to things and Guess has always been a brand not afraid to try new things with these bold new colours. John and I are going to London this week to attend the Guess One to Watch Global blogger search and will have a chance to see the rest of the collection and can't wait...up dates very soon. ...

A little spring adventure
We love getting out in the fresh air, especially with Arthur, he loves trees and woodland and pebble collecting and it's really good for the soul. Spring and Summer are my favourite months, I love the beach, roadtrips, bbq's and lots of laughs, I mean I am from South Africa so it's in my blood to be out in the sun. So recently we have had some sunny days here in Wales and thought we would go to St Fagans outside museum for a springtime adventure. Arthur loved it and totally walked himself out. It was also the perfect weather to wear my new Pure Collection cashmere capelet, as it was warm but not warm enough just for long-sleeve shirt, kept me nice and snug, John also finally wore the St James Jumper I bought for him last christmas from Oi Polloi We also had a lovely cream tea...yum yum I'm wearing - Pure Collection Cashmere Capelet, Zara longsleeve, Next black jeans, Asos Penny loafers Shoes, Vintage sunglasses John wears - St James jumper, Albam jeans, ......

River Island Delight
So I haven't been into River Island for a very longtime, for some reason when I do shop on the high street I find myself in Topshop, Urban Outfitters or H&M and seem to overlook River Island, not for any reason in particular but the shop window on Queen Street really caught my eye and had to have a quick look inside, although due to time constraints I finished the rest of my browsing online at home and I have to say I am very pleasantly suprised with their current collection, it's full of fun prints, aztec designs, music inspirations (very Lana Del Ray) and the new pastel trends, they also have a well tailored men's collection...here are some of my favourite picks.... Here is a sneak peak of some of the mens collection ...
