Sunny spring days in London are the greatest! 
It's just about warm enough to be coat free - whilst the sun is out anyway!
Hands up who's dreaming of summer nights sitting outside sharing a bowl of chips and drinks with friends!? 
Bring on the sunshine and the much needed vitamin D - D is for :-D

Hope your Sunday is as chilled as mine!
After having a lovely Birthday week I thought I would bring some of the beautiful flowers I have received into my latest blog post!
This week the lovely ladies over at Dawson D Rose sent me the beautiful (made in England) big bow collar that I am wearing in this post. I just love discovering home grown talent and I have the up most respect for British designers who can make their products here in the UK. Please go and check them out - they have a selection of gorgeous collars that can be worn with any outfit and will soon be launching some beautiful sleeveless jackets - well worth a look!
Much love and thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes
You are the BEST!

All White Cons

I Am Wearing :
Red Biker Jacket - Primark Grey Roll Neck - Zara (old) Boyfriend Jeans - H&M (old) Sunglasses - BooHoo Chanel Boy Bag  All White Converse - c/o JD Sports
Oh my gosh - I can't tell you how stoked I am with my new all white cons! I was chatting with my friend this week (who has also bought these trainers), about how much we like the black cons but both independently came to the conclusion that these all white beauties will go with everything in our wardrobe!
That said I am now thinking about expanding my converse collection - which consists of original white cons, pink high tops and gold glitter cons - to include a black pair - they are just so darn cool!
Are you a Converse girl?
Have a great weekend
XOXO Clare Astra
