Writing from my sick bed (I wondered why I had been feeling ill all week then took a look at my poor tonsils today!) I feel in need of some hope that Spring is coming soon. Thankfully I've had emails dropping in my inbox all week with some colour which has cheered me up. I am having a dry February (I hardly drink so yes, you've guessed it, I'm talking clothes shopping). I have a little bit left from my birthday money which I'm in no rush to spend. I don't really want to buy Winter bits now as that's just too depressing but it's still too cold for a Spring wardrobe. So it's a good excuse to go cold turkey this month! Please note the disclaimer here, should something pretty amazing turn up, I have the right to spend my birthday pennies ok?
So here's some of my favourites from the emails I've received this week.

| French Connection |
This a-line dress is £150 so fairly pricey but knowing French Connection and their quality, it will last a long time. I love the simple elegant cut with the contemporary twist coming in the form of the print. They also do a skirt for £70 if the style isn't right for your shape but like me, you love the print.

| Miss Selfridge |
How adorable is the above? I don't wear midi skirts as, as of yet, haven't found one that does my small frame justice and doesn't completely dwarf me. However I feel when I am next passing a Miss Selfridge, this one needs to be tried on. Yes, just in case you missed it, this is a skirt and top combo. The skirt is £45 and the top £35. (PS they are having a flash sale tomorrow - Friday 13th February 12-2pm, use code FLASH20 for 20% off full price items. I hear there may well be a 25% voucher in Glamour magazine floating about too).

| Boden |
I love this whole look from Boden but in particular the peach jeans. These are £49 which I don't feel is an unfair price for jeans. I have a cornflour blue pair of ankle jeans by Ralph Lauren that I only wear in the Summer months and I love them as the colour really does make them a more versatile Spring/Summer wear. These would look just as chic with a trainer/plimsole style shoe.
Some very Spring colours above, for now though, I'm back for lots of layers and of course my trusted thermals!
Woooh the Miss Selfridge skirt and top is adorable. How fabulous for a wedding. Get well soon Natalie x
