Loved-Up in Lace...thanks to Karen Millen...

So it's Valentine's Day and we all know it's going to be a day filled with loved up couples desperate to show one another how much they love each other. But since when did love ever just involve relationships? What about another important aspect to a girls life - what about fashion?

So whether you're loved up or loved out, you can always trust your wardrobe to make you feel special. And with the high street bursting at the seams with fabulous treats (minus the cheesey red and pink colour breakdowns and love heart motifs...) I'm sure you would much rather have a new statement season piece than a cliche Me To You teddy bear?

The only thing I'm loving this Valentine's is this lace jacket and skirt combo from Karen Millen. Stunningly beautiful and totally inspired by the Louis Vuitton SS12 collection, I'll be teaming the jacket with skinny denim now and then a pretty lace day dress come spring! And a lightweight knit goes perfectly with the skirt at the moment and then switch for a ruffled blouse when the weather becomes warmer.

Hope you have a very fashionable Valentine's day. After all, a girl's relationship with fashion never ends in heart ache.....unless your bank balance doesn't stretch to that new season Chanel handbag that is...!

Happy Valentine's Day

It's all so PRINTIFUL....

Yes, printiful is actually a word. Well, thanks to Mary Katrantzou and Peter Pilotto it is. They stormed onto their Spring Summer 2012 catwalks in nothing but, yes you guessed it, PRINT. But not any type of print; these were colourful explosions of experimental patterns. Think club tropicana meets a rainbow meets the psychedelic era of the 1960's - it's an infusion of fantasy and fashion, it's Spring Summer 2012....

Thanks to singer Jessie J, everyone seems to be embracing the print trend at River Island
 in their now iconic tropical jacket and trouser combo.
