What to Wear This Spring...

spring lookbook video

Ah, 'tis finally here: the Spring Lookbook. I've collected together some of my favourite outfits and put them on video. It's a bit like a moving photoshoot and I really hope that you like it - it took me a whole day to film it and another entire day to edit! If you can bring it upon yourself to give it a "thumbs up" or tweet it or share it or whatever it is that floats your boat, then please do. If this one goes down well then I'll do a Lookbook video every season and perhaps some extra little trend features in between.

Now I've been sneaking little fashion teasers onto the website since last week so you'll have had a preview of some of the outfits already - others will be a big and glorious surprise! Let me know which your favourite is in the comments; my personal favourite is Look 1 with the sport-luxe trousers and the gorgeous cashmere cardigan (above), but closely followed by the outfit with the teal-coloured shirt from Hush and the floral print skirt (below).

I'm getting really into clashing patterns and wearing a bit of colour - an attempt, I suppose, at dragging myself from the "black and grey and neutrals" rut. Not that there's anything wrong with black or grey or neutrals, it's just that I can be an incredibly lazy dresser and it's quite refreshing to be doing a bit of fashion experimentation.

A couple of things to note: the amazing French 65 court shoes from Whistles (featured in "Look 2" above) are actually on sale at the moment, reduced from £135 to £94.50. They are incredibly chic and actually quite alright to walk in - not as comfy as the black and white "Jennie" shoes from L.K. Bennett, but getting there. Find them in the sale here. The other thing is an apology; there are a few bits and bobs that are no longer available online. It took me so long to collect my clothes together and then film and edit the video that the fashion world moved on without me! Things went into the sale and then promptly sold out. So the lovely duck-egg blue Topshop jumper (below) is nowhere to be seen (unless you find it in-store, which is a possibility so do check!) and also the silky Topshop Unique printed shorts seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Which is perhaps a blessing, in a way, because they weren't the easiest little blighters to wear.
