Looking at the A/W'13 collections we first saw a few months ago, and particularly looking at Anna Sui, it's fair to say preppiness is making a comeback. Think Blair Waldorf with a bit of a bohemian twist. The ASOS boucle textured blazer featured above could very easily fit into the Anna Sui collection -

- with a fraction of the price. If you're looking to be on trend this Autumn (or are still mourning the end of Gossip Girl... *despairing emoji*) this is a great place to start.

2) Festival wise this summer, the way forward seems to be an ensemble of clothes we used to wear as children. The recent 90s revival has seen scrunchies (to quote Blair Waldorf, I have never owned a scrunchie), jelly shoes, crop tops, dungarees and pinafores worm their way back into our wardrobes, though I for one am avoiding the jelly shoe craze. I love the print on this pinafore and would pair it with a plain white rolled-sleeve t-shirt with DMs at a festival.

3) An iPhone case with a Chanel nail polish design, with a choice of around a hundred nail colours. There is nothing not to love here. Especially for £5.90.

4) Yep, you guessed it - THIS IS REALLY 20S AND I LIKE THAT. I love the back especially.

5) Firstly, a glass teapot is an incredible idea. Secondly, the idea of blossoming tea just about blows my mind. And obviously this is best experienced in a glass teapot, so get your blossoming tea from House Of Blossoms (more reasonable prices than anywhere else I've seen) and throw a tea party with a twist. Bound to impress.

6) Whether it's real gold or not, Rose Gold is most definitely having a moment. For £6.50 this is most definitely not real, but Rose Gold + Cameo = chic. 

7) The fresh colours on these floral Converse just scream summer. I need.

8+10) Block platform heels are everywhere at the moment and I think they look especially good in nude. Now, they are real leather, but I do think £85 is a little pricey for the nude sling backs... If you're not bothered about real leather, there are several identical pairs on eBay (which were on eBay way before Topshop were selling them, and also retail on Missguided for £35ish) for a little as £27.92! I certainly can't tell the difference...

Just search for 'nude block platforms'

9) Similar to the current 'trend' of doing an Anna Wintour and carrying no bag at all (iPhone 5 and credit card are the chicest of essentials, carried by hand of course), we also now put our possessions on show to the world. Transparent bags are a pretty stupid idea, but I love them too much to care. With the Bershka bargain above you can choose between transparent neon yellow or neon pink. It's very similar to one The Londoner donned a while back, except hers was an iPad case and a little more expensive. A big selling point of this clutch - IT'S £10.

Are you lusting after any of the above?

Bises,
