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!

Come and Explore as the Pixies Play Dress-Up....

Regular readers of my blog will know how much I adore a vintage find! Today's vintage find, however, is not about just one item that has been pulled from the world of yesteryear, but a capsule collection of one-off treasures from the lovely ladies via Pixies Play Dress-Up!

Just like every one of you trend-savvy individuals, these Pixies believe that when it comes to fashion it's about creating a look that is tailor-made to suit your individual style. So whether your longing to rock out in a 50's style swing dress, make a statement in 80's influenced silhouettes or brave it in 90's psychedelic patterns, these Pixies have it all. Sourcing pretty pieces from the boroughs of London through to the boutiques in Paris and the avenues in New York, the Pixies invite you to play dress up with them!

50's Florals
Summer may have decided to stay with us (although don't hold your breath just yet!) so what better way to get into the summer spirit than by purchasing one of these lovely vintage numbers? Team with your Hunter wellies for ultimate festival styling, with cute converse during an afternoon picnic with friends or just team with a knitted cardi for those cooler days! Florals are the perfect seasonal vintage buy...

Who likes short shorts? We do and so does
our vintage floral blouse!

80's Silhouette
Killer curves deserve to be shown off so why not channel the ultimate vintage era of the 1980's? Think cinched in waists, exaggerated shoulders and plunging necklines that just ooze sexiness!

Create killer curves with a cinched in waist...

Exaggerate those shoulders for ultimate 80's style!

90's Nostalgia
Over sized printed shirts paved the way in the style stakes during the 90's! The Pixies have been busy thrifting away and have found these two beauties on their vintage travels! The animal print blouse is my number one pick!

Why not get ahead of the fashion crowd and adapt some of the hot toe-trends to your shoe collection right now? Keep your eyes peeled for animal print, tassles, glitter and the ultimate stud embellishment!

All that glitters and shines:

You can't have a winter without adding a bit of glitz and glam to your shoe-drobe! Sprinkled like fairy dust over sleek ankle boots or adding a touch of elegance to a day time sneaker; if it doesn't sparkle, it doesn't count...
