As soon as I laid eyes on Vivienne Westwood’s ‘Galaxy’ bags and small leather goods for this season I fell in love with them, and a trip to the VW store in Leeds (which was unfortunately unfruitful) at the weekend to see them in the ‘flesh’ reinforced this lust. Check out some of my favourite men’s and women’s bags and purses below, all of which are sold out on the Vivienne Westwood online store but are available at other online retailers and your nearest Vivienne Westwood shop.
River Island is a store which rarely crosses my mind when I’m asked to list my favourite places to shop because normally, with the exception of a few pieces, their collections aren’t to my taste. However, I’m really impressed by the River Island SS12 collection as a whole! I’m head over heels in love with the black and white studded pencil skirts and matching bralets, it’s inevitable that one of those pieces will work its way into my wardrobe this summer. I also love a couple of the dresses, the use of white crochet and lace fabrics, the bold prints and use of metallics. Check out some of my favourite outfits and pieces below, and view the collection in full here.

Mulberry‘s Spring/Summer 2012 LFW show was one of my absolute favourites of the entire week and so the release of this gorgeous ad campaign featuring Lindsey Wixson and Frida Gustavsson excites me a great deal. Shot by Tim Walker and styled by Edward Enniful, the nostalgic campaign was inspired by Mulberry’s creative director Emma Hill’s childhood holidays and certainly makes us all long for a break from dull winter days, and I imagine that the Brighton Pier backdrop brings back many a fond memory for most Britons. In my opinion, Mulberry can do no wrong and although this collection will be a little out of my price range, I’m hugely inspired by it and can’t wait to incorporate some of the ideas into my summer wardrobe.
