All American Girl

I'm gearing up for the big move. The flame of East Coast fashion is beginning to glow inside me. I appear to be channeling a much more casual vibe than usual, most probably in preparation for heading Stateside. Handily, ASOS have heard my call, and answered with their Spring 11 collection. Seems I'm not the only one with a growing pull towards All American Prep. Give me baseball jackets slung softly over embroidered skater skirts, ankle skimming tailored pin trousers with football jersey emblazoned tees, and killer heels in pastel colours. No black here my friend, no body con, no leopard prints, just lovely lovely flowered swim hats and denim dresses. Oh yes America, I am ready for you.

To be Adored

A little glimpse forward into the future. Sun, tea dresses,shoes and socks. Gorgeous brand TBA have hit the nail on the head with their Spring Summer collections for years now. The neutral pastel colours and beautiful girly prints are not far off perfect in the soaring temperatures. And there's always room for a little lace embellishment here and there. For now, the snow is thawingm the temperatures have risen back up above zero and I am left to daydream about warm days to come, sunning myself in Ohio in soft tailoring, boater hats and Ray Ban sunglasses. A girl can dream can't she?

Retro Baby

Jeffrey Monterio takes us on a nostalgic trip down 80s lane. In my opinion, there's quite a bit of 'miss', the lurid green prints for example do make me want to run and hide in the safety of Topshop, but here is the selection of 'hits' I am planning on channeling as soon as the sun comes back out...

Suno? No, me neither...

These guys have just hit my radar. For boardwalk pieces that make you miss summer by the beach, lollipops and sunglasses; they're doing rather well. For everything else, the jury is still out. Here are a few snapshots of their Spring '11 collection which features clashing prints with checks, floral jumpsuits and feminine tailoring. Nothing to complain about, so keep your eyes on Suno, I have a sneaking suspicion they'll only get better with time.
