I want the sun to come out!!!

I want spring to be here! The common cold has decided to take a pit stop on my nose and I seriously cannot take it anymore! I want the rain, the wind, the puddles to go so glorious sunshine can hit my face and people can mow there lawns so you get that amazing fresh smell!
And so people can make sunny photos like this:

Jigsaw's S/S10 collection

I am thoroughly enjoying the new collection at jigsaw! It seems a lot fresher, original and dare-I-say-it YOUNGER. I felt that although the winter collection was extremely good however a lot of the the styles didn't stand out of their own, however with this season, every single item is unigue and original. Our store has also been blessed with being allowed to sell what is called the 'stitches range which only 5 stores sell. They are extremely limited and are generally made from 100% cashmere and silk and give our store that extra individuality to the high street which seems to be over-copying trend after trend. Some of the trends included the revival of the Riviera trend, Bosten stripes and Safara skirts.
Here are some of the key looks on the website:

-I really like this striped club jacket, reminds me of Jack wills and had an amazing red silk commenwealth flag print inside.







The dress is inspired by 50s print and I like the use of the yellow within the print for a fresh summer look.

I hope you enjoy them!

The Girl with Glass Feet

My best friend and I were not able to see each other over the Christmas holidays, when we did finally meet up when stepped into waterstones, found two books that were the same price and traded them when we bought them.

Initially I was all out to get Tolstoy's 'Anna Karenina' for some serious reading but this little gem caught my eye....


Here is the description of the novel, 'Befallen Ida Maclaird - she is slowly turning into glass, from the feet up. She returns to St Hauda's Land, where she believes the glass first took hold, in search of a cure. Midas Crook is a young loner, who has lived on the islands his entire life. When he meets Ida, something about her sad, defiant spirit pierces his emotional defenses. As Midas helps Ida come to terms with her affliction, she gradually unpicks the knots of his heart, and they begin to fall in love...What they need most is time - and time is slipping away fast'.

I have yet to finish this, but I love it more and more and I believe it is a must read. It is tragic, beautiful and at moments funny. I recommend you read this.
