Matalan has London Fever...

Everyone seems to have London fever lately. Whether it's because of the Queen's Jubilee (did you brave the Thames?!) or because of the Olympics in a few weeks time, the fashion world is London crazy and getting in on the action is high street giant Matalan.

How cool are these London sight seeing tees featuring famous landmarks such as St Pauls Cathedral, Tower Bridge and Big Ben? My two best friends are London crazy since our move to the Big City 8 months ago and these are a perfect wardrobe addition to feed our capital obsession - there's one each!

Jubilee Inspired High Street Hunt

The Queen's Jubilee (just in case you hadn't heard..) is this coming Sunday and as well as an amazing long weekend (thanks Queenie!) our high street is bursting with Jubilee goodies to fill your wardrobe! Now, I'm not normally one to be patriotic, but seeing as the Lady of the moment is giving us working folk a few days off, I'm thinking it's rude not to dedicate a blog post to a few high street spots I've found on my shopping travels!

Queue kitsch home ware accessories, British-branded clobber and your very own miniature Queen! You have to love been British sometimes....


Bralet - check. Union Jack - check. Topshop- check. All you need is distressed boyfriend jeans and your converse - not very Royal but still very British!


Bralet
Topshop
£12
 Wear ones patriotism through this cool cloth bag with a vintage-effect print. 'Totes'-amazing...
Tote Bag
Republic
£8
 I need this teapot cosy in my life! I don't drink tea nor do I own a tea pot but hey, it could always sit on top of the loo roll, right?! It's way too cute not to be tempted; I bet the Queen has one!

Tea Cosy
Debenhams
£12
 It's kind of so wrong it's right that's why I've added this Union Jack print maxi from George at Asda to my list. Maybe my fashion sense was partly distracted by the fruit and veg section in the supermarket but I still kinda love it...!
Maxi Dress
George at Asda
£18
 Kitsch jewellery is so adorable and I simply think this crown charm on a gold chain by Vioella is seriously cute...


Can't get down to London Bridge on Sunday? Grab your very own version of the Lady herself thanks to Urban Outfitters who have created this miniature version - wind her up and she does the iconic royal wave! Amazing!
Mini Queenie
Urban Outfitters
£20

Happy Jubilee Shopping!

Pay Day High Street Picks...

Finally Pay Day has arrived and what better way to celebrate than with a good shopping spree! (I mean, come on, we all thoroughly deserve it...) For those who follow me on Twitter, you will know I am on the countdown to Ibiza at the end of June so this months wages will (or should!) be spent on holiday must-haves. Hunting the high street this week, I seem to be drawn to anything black, white and a little bit grungey! Whether I'm simply rebelling against the glorious weather or releasing my inner rock chick ready for the month's festivals (Hackney Weekend and Lovebox anyone?!) here are my Pay Day Picks; prepare for a dark one!

With the Queen's Jubilee this weekend the shops are full of British-inspired pieces! But forget the Spice Girl Union Jack dress - I'm all for a bit of controversy! That's why I LOVE this tee from www.punkrockshop.co.uk repeating the classic Sex Pistols "God Save the Queen" record cover!

Tee
www.punkrockshop.co.uk
£15.99

I have still yet to find a bikini for Ibiza! I'm not one for spending £30 plus on just the top and paying for the bottoms separately (WHY does the high street do this?!) but when George at Asda does one so cute and cheap, who am I to say no!? It's officially added to the Ibiza shopping list!
Bikini Top
George at Asda
£2.50

Bikini Bottoms
George at Asda
£2.50

I had never really heard of Miss Guided until Lara Lain from Look magazine introduced me to the brand via Twitter! (Follow her here) I saw her wearing a similar pair of trousers to a fashion event and just HAD to know where they were from! Cool, eh? I'll be teaming mine with a rock n roll tee! Peace!

Peace Print Leggings

£9.99

Following on with the rock/grunge trend I seem to be channelling (summer, who?!) I need this tee from H&M in my life! Sporting the logos of one of the greatest rock albums ever - need I say any more?
Graphic Tee
H&M
£9.99

Animal print is slowly becoming a bit of an obsession for me at the moment no thanks to Warehouse and their iconic printed pieces! I like how this dress has a lovely feminine shape which is still sexy with an edge. I'll be adding red lips when I wear mine...

Animal Print Halter Dress
Warehouse
£40

And just to prove I'm not all dark and dingy for the summer season, I've added this lush kimono from River Island with a lovely bright floral print! Perfect for a pre-lunch cover up for Ibiza, right? Add it to your summer wishlist now! I just have...

Print Kimono
River Island
£35

Happy Pay Day Shopping
