but love to browse it anyway..They always have some 

gorgeous outfit pics for inspiration. 

These are just a few that I love:):) You can always gain some ideas,

No summer this year..Autumn must haves

Preview of Topshop's Autumn/winter collection

Big trends seem to be faux fur coats, pencil skirts, boots and novelty jumpers 

Looks as though its going to be a great winter already:)

One of my must haves would have to be the mulberry Polly push lock £850

If, like me, short of stealing this bag, there's no way I'm going to own one. 

Instead, this Urban outfitters Kimchi & Blue Two-Tone Lady Bag 

is the perfect substitute at £48

Check out Mulberry's site, its amazing.

Pamela Love

'A preoccupation with the historical and cultural significance 

of jewellery has taken Love around the world - in particular to Mexico. 

This ring has a strong Aztec influence and are full of striking 

details. Featuring delicate engravings and geometric stud 

accents, this traditional Mexican-inspired piece have a fresh, 

fashion-forward spin by Pamela Love'

This spring/summer Love teamed up with Topshop bringing inspiration

from south America with native American designs. Love was inspired 

by 70's 'gypsy rockers' giving an earthy laid back style.

the collection includes dream catchers, hearts and arrows,

frozen links as well as chain and stud bits.

Only 200 rings (below) were made for topshop.

• Gold Aztec Inspired Ring By Pamela Love** for Topshop £50.00

Rodarte inspiration for prints in fashion

Kate and Laura Mulleavy, of Rodarte found inspiration for Spring 

in their childhood garden. They promised "every shade of brown 

you can imagine, seventies suburbia, wood paneling, gold, off colors like chartreuse—basically, a combination of all the things that 

represent our area to us."

This season Yayer have some gorgeous print skirts, in colourings very similar 

to Rodartes spring summer collection. Perfect for the summer ahead.
