London Calling...

Ready for shopping:Jeans, body and cardigan - Topshop, belt, scarf and Elephant necklace - H&M, shoes - Bianco, bag - Mulberry.

I love London for shopping. I usually end up purchasing pieces in the same stores every time, and this time was no different. However, half the joy of shopping is strolling around, looking and searching in new places and boutiques, even those you can not afford, to get an inspirational kick. Are you inspired enough, you can replicate the look you want in more affordable places like Zara, H&M and Topshop. They are usually brilliant in copying the latest from the catwalk, and you can actually find designs and colours at H&M even before you can read about them in the fashion magazines. I was inspired by the March edition of Elle, and wanted peep toe shoes. Surprise, surprise, I found a pair I could not resist at Zara. Theese items begged to come home with me this Saturday (and strangely enough, I replied that "my home, is your home"):


Peep toe shoes with leather laces, so right at the moment - Zara special edition


Preppy blazer with shoulder details - H&M, Loose cotton T-shirt - Zara, Golden oversized necklace - French Connection.

Ready for the beach

Forget about spring (allthough we are really going to enjoy every second of it), let us focus on summer! Perhaps it is because I live by the beach that I felt a sudden urge to start on my summer wardrobe today. But let's face it, if you try to shop for bikinis in June/July, all the best ones is allready sold out. My top tip is to shop for spring in February, and by mid March you should start focusing on summer. I love when I can trade away my grey, woollen outfits, with light pastels and colourful sun loving pieces. This summer I am all abot Denim, Blue, Pastels and some bright Coral. This is what I supplemented my wardrobe with on this sunny Thursday:

Playsuit, for a cheerful day at the beach -Topshop

Fine striped bikini -Topshop

The perfect grey and silver party/city bag - Zara

Coral beaded triangle bikini - butterfly by Matthew Williamson

Denim boyfriend shorts - Warehouse, Light brown leather belt - H&M
