god save the queen

Not only do we have the Olympics coming to our fair city this Summer, but we also have the Royal Wedding 2.0 (to read my unashamed gushing this time last year, see here) to look forward to… our fabulous Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. And one thing I love about this country is that we love a good bandwagon to jump on. The High Street has gone into overdrive, some of it tasteful and some of it downright tacky. But I love it all. Here’s a selection of the memorabilia that celebrates Lizzie’s special day, of the non-tacky variety:

{1. Jan Constantine street party cushion – £94 / 2. Rigby & Mac giant crown hook – £10.95 / 3. 2D Scrumptious Jubilee print – £10 / 4. John Lewis Jubilee tot glass – £7.50 / 5. Hobbs Jubilee scarf – £59 / 6. Biscuiteers Jubilee tin – £40 / 7. Fortnum & Mason Jubilee Marc de Champagne truffles – £20 / 8. Dartington Crystal Jubilee vase – £100 / 9. Caroline McGrath Jubilee tea towel – £16 / 10. Radley Jubilee passport cover – £22.40}

new at mulberry

Lana Del Rey gets the fashion world’s nod of approval, as she’s the latest starlet to have a bag named after her. And not just any old bag. A Mulberry bag. All that schmoozing with Anna Win-tour, Palermo, the Olsens et al during Fashion Weeks clearly worked a treat. Obviously it’s nothing to do with her effortless style or anything. Nope. Definitely the schmoozing.

colour clashing

Sometimes, in theory, a colour combo shouldn’t work… although in actual fact it makes complete sense. Take orange, pink and green. The word “garish” immediately springs to mind, right? But this zesty trio is just bloomin’ delicious. Whether it’s an outfit, a colour-blocking shower curtain or flowers combining with interior details, I love the summery effect (Hear that, April Showers? Summer. Have a word). So tell me, lovely readers, is this threesome a do or a don’t?

j’adore dior

Mila Kunis has been on the ‘Girl Crush’ list for a while now (pretty much since this red carpet appearance), so when I heard she was the new face of Christian Dior and fronts the label’s spring/summer 2012 Miss Dior handbag campaign, I had to take a look. Wowzers. Natalie, who?* As for those bags, I’ll take the red quilted one please. Or any of the others… let’s be honest. Tell me, lovely readers, which one would you go for?
