Porcelain days...

So while googling 'pretty blue shoes' the other day, I came across these beautiful blue court shoes! They are perfect for Spring and I love the way they look so fresh and clean. The flowers are beautiful and the porcelain palette of colours makes them dreamy... either teamed with a crisp white cotton dress or warn dirty denim.

But these shoes are the start of a loevly trend hitting the catwalks and highstreet this Spring... I'm calling it 'Porcelain Days'. It's fresh easy and full of a lovely range of inky blues, the illustrations and prints are intrcate but dreamy and the shapes are classic with fun twist on the past. Scale is important and it is key that this look isnt taken to seariously, mix this trend with colour blocking and warn denim to keep it up todate.

I love this look it is so easy to pull of and in time it will still look classic even after the trend has faded from the highstreet. I always think Blue is pretty on little girls and I can see this look being taken into little ones over the next few months.

It reminds me of hoildays traveling through the Netherlands with the Deltware china...



Spring is here to stay!

The denim dress...

Denim dresses have been key on the catwalks this season from little ones to womenswear and within weeks they have been key pieces of the celebs wardrobes. The dresses are coming in all shapes and sizes... everything from pinafores to A line dresses. Dark washes to soft chambreys and not forgetting the mix and matches of different washes.

I love denim dresses they are so easy to wear, go with everything can be dressed up or dressed down and  you always feel girly when wearing one. It was only this Autumn that I threw my last homemade one out. It was a simple pinafore shape that was made from lovely soft dark denim, but after a few years of being put in the wrong wash and it shrinking and slowly dying it was time to throw it out... so which will my next denim dress be? (Will probably whip another one up next weekend anyway as the shape was lovely... but you can never have enough denim dresses)

Catwalk to High street... 



The Sienna Miller dress has to be my favourite the shape is feminine, the sleeves are beautiful and the embroidery  being solely in brown keeps the dress low eye and on trend. I can't find the designer of this dress but I will keep and eye out...

I love this dress the shape is very girly and very me! and the colours are lovely... I just wonder if it would be as cute in real life? I'm debating asking for it for my birthday? Be cute to team with a coloured cardie and simple sandals.

This dress is fab and I would love to have it in my wardrobe but now I have seen the Asos printed dress I can't decide which one i prefer... I they both do different jobs but I think that the printed one is more 'me'?

Which denim dress in your fave?

Neon signs...

Typography is constantly changing within the art word to stay fresh and now it has gone neon! Art in the home is often revolved around words and phrases that are motivational or make us smile. These are no exception but they are just a bit brighter and will definetly be a talking point in any home or office.

Neon lighting signs are the new thing in interior spaces, used in new and exciting ways...often with unexpected words and phrases. I love these and think it would be fab in any house, especially a bedroom...

I love this, the way the neon gives of the rays of light is almost dreamy.

From the norm, '1hour photo' shop sign to the 'Beautiful' sign.
It's really fun the contrast between the bright clean lighting and the bare plaster wall of the 'lucky' sign. 

A spot of colour... www.gavinbrown.biz

Life can take you anywhere and I think this sums it up, its really nice against the wood planks... 
is it the contrast in texture?

Neon romance!  Oh this bedroom is perfect, fab wall art, fresh white sheets, white walls and furniture with character and charm... and a little dog... Teal of course!
Kiss sign... www.3badmice.com

Neon and modern art combine. What it is ment to represent I'm not sure but it's kinda cool.

How fun is this! Would be fab in a kitchen...brighten up and boring leftovers tea! Love the colours to...

Another kitchen sign... is this an up and comming trend? 
Watch this space... I definetly think it is going somewhere and you heard it here first!
