A little bit of retail therapy never hurt anyone!!

As today is Saturday, what better way to spend it than with my fave people and doing my fave thing in the whole wide world-SHOPPING!! Me and my nieces and mummy of course are hitting the shops at Westfield for some much needed retail therapy! I'm on the hunt for some holiday clothes today (as I only have 2 months to go- woohoo) and also some new clothes for my trip to Berlin next Friday. I bought a gorge vintage top last month that I still haven't worn so am thinking a sleek black pencil skirt and heels?!

Stella McCartney

It's been announced that my favourite ever designer has been unveiled as the designer of the official Olympic kit. As a tribute to my fave lady I thought I'd take a look at her work over the years. I always loved her designs, from her graduate show at Central St Martins, her time at Chloe and now as shes goes it alone with her own label here are a few of my favourite designs.
