Yippee! Bonsui!!


This has got to be my new favourite brand (this week at least)! Bonsui has not long been out but is available in Topshop Oxford street and it has already made an impression on me.
For me, the epitomy of summer dressing is simplicity and that is what Bonsui have delivered.
My favourite piece is this eyelet dress. The broderie anglaise-esque fabric is so girly and feminine, which I love, and the contrast bow detail round the middle sets it off a treat.
Now I don't know about you but this adorable little number isn't far from very similar to this Moschino "Cheap & Chic" (yehh right!) frock seen on the Spring/Summer 2010 catwalk!


I bet the price tag isn't quite the same.
The Bonsui dress comes in at £60, which is a bargain for this investment piece.
I cannot wait to wear mine this summer. Just need some hot weather!

Thanks for reading :)

I hope I'm not too late!!

I'm sure most of you are already aware as I have been a tad slow off the mark posting this but for those of you have been hibernating all winter...

How exciting that Henry Holland has has collaborated with department store Debenhams!
They definately needed SOMEONE to give them a younger, more feisty image!
And aren't we glad he came along when he did!


I adore the mixture of ditsy spring florals, girlish ginghams and block colours- the epitomy of summer style and totally on-trend.
The entire collection is bright, bold and oh-so brilliant.

(also available matching bottoms £12
LOVE IT! Check Playsuit £25

You can see he has taken inspiration from his own collections past and present but at our kind of price range. As of tomorrow we can all take a piece of Henry home with us, just make sure you leave this dress in a 6 for me!
WANT IT! Black Floral Tea Dress £30
(also available in yellow)

These are just a FEW of my favourite pieces but you can view the entire range including accessories and menswear at www.debenhams.com.
Also, you can get 20% off when you spend £50 online.

Thanks Henry!

Love Claire x

Cycle shorts are in fashion?!!

That's right!
I have just seen this picture of Alex Chung, looking lovely as ever may I add, in a pair of cycle shorts!


Now we can't all be as lucky as Alexa, going off to t<.span>he Chanel a/w 2010/11 catwalk show at Paris Fashion Week... But I've found this Cheap Chic version of her shorts in American Apparel!
I love how the girlish lace detail makes them look oh-so chic and almost elegant. Wear with sandals or heels- they are the new summer legging!

The only problem is... You know you're old when something you wore when you were a little girl comes back into fashion! Here is my mum and I sporting some right beauties back in '93!

I knew I was destined for the fashion industry!!
Lots of love,

P.S. Love the oversized sunnies mum!
