It feels like it's been a while since I last did a wishlist post, so when the guys at Blue Inc got in touch about their fab New In collection I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to get moodboarding some items I'm loving and of course, it would inevitably add a few more items to my ever-growing lust list - I mean have you seen the gorgeous prints they have?!

First off there's no denying I'm a right old floral girlie girl, from cute little kitsch prints to bold statement designs, there's just summin' about a floral print that I can't say no to. I love the look of the pretty floral print blouse and could just picture it teamed with high waisted denim shorts and a statement collar necklace for an 80's inspired look. Equally, the dip hem tunic is a personal favourite style of mine, flattering and eye-catching, this dress with a bold lip colour and chunky heeled shoe to balance the look would be an evening outfit choice good to go.

So I may have mentioned I like monochrome before? Just maybe, like, umm a little bit? Well it's certainly not going anywhere with these patterned pieces! Palm and tropical prints, love them or hate them, are pretty huge at the moment, but luckily you can wave good-bye to the garish colour clashes of the Hawaiin shirt era and work the trend in a more demure, classic way with this lovely palm print jumpsuit. The ankle strap heeled sandals are also a pretty lust-worthy pair of footwear right now, I love the golden metal twist-clasp of this pair from Blue Inc and they're a great little addition to a simple outfit combination!

What do you guys think of the new collection from Blue Inc?

Topshop SS12 Collection Preview

Despite Christmas day being just over a week ago, there appears to be no rest on the fashion front as the Spring Summer 2012 collections are already waiting to be released, hot on the heels of the winter season. With Topshop releasing it's SS12 preview collections online today, naturally my addiction to the brand meant that all other things I had planned for the day had to be pushed aside so I could whittle around the site to choose my favourite items, and so here they are! Featuring garments and accessories from the the Jungle' 'Hide and Seek,' '90's Redux' and 'Under the Sea' collections, there seems to be no limitations on teaming prints and colours from a variety of colour palettes. The floral print patterned pieces are particular favourites, especially with the shirts' asymmetric hems and the cutsie element of the back to school backpack.  

The 90's Redux collection sees a move from past winter collection's Aviator jackets with the return of the Bomber Jacket. Something that has not graced the shelves in force since the late 1970's. Available in clashing prints and bold colours, there's no doubt the re-juvenated jacket will be the statement piece of any outfit come the summer.

I also love the bubblegum pop shades and faded fluorescents, bringing in a nostalgic edge to the season's trends. (Although I don't think I've worn a sock with a frill trimming since a very young age when socks and shoes were teamed with matching party dresses, and our biggest concern was whether there would be enough jelly and ice cream... those were the days.)
