Often it's those inexpensive small items that can be indispensable finishing touches. These are a few that will suit my new spring/summer pieces.
Vests sold in pairs of different colour combinations from M&S. I chose pale rose and pale grey.
Selection of earrings on a pad from H&M. Coppery gold, peach and black roses; Studs in three sizes in copper, crystal and gunmetal.
Selection of earrings from H&M Divided. Gold, silver and animal prints.
Black rose hairclip, sold in pairs from H&M. I bought this after looking at the camellia brooches in the Chanel boutique. I am planning to wear one as a brooch.
Pale grey cotton mix cardigan from H&M Divided.

PRINTED TOPS
Some of the key looks in the S/S 2012 Dolce and Gabbana collection were the colourful prints, suntops, bralets and bare midriffs. Topshop have a great collection of printed suntops and bralets. My favourite bralets were the Floral Print Bralet and the Daisy Print Bralet but as I did'nt think that a bare midriff was a good idea for me personally, I chose these two tops below.
I'm looking forward to wearing the suntop with my jeggings and thin gold hoop earrings. The corset just comes down to my waist, so I'll wear it with a high waisted piece. Both tops look good under a black jacket.

NEW DENIM
Denim is always there and always even more talked about by the fashion world in spring and summer. This spring it's in the context of 90's Grunge, the 50's and Wild West Frontier style. I have bought two lightweight pieces for S/S 2012. I guess they are more 50's style.
Short-sleeved shirt from H&M Divided.
Jeggings with turn-ups from Calzedonia. Incidentally, Calzedonia have just opened a new shop in Kensington High Street.

SPRING IS ALMOST HERE
Spring officially begins tomorrow. I have bought a few basic pieces for S/S 2012.
.jpg)
This little black silky dress with camisole top and narrow frill at the waist subtly reflects the bustiers and peplums of the season. From H&M January sale.
Smart shorts, runners style with a drawstring waist but in a black silky jacquard fabric with a little panther pattern. It's the fabric that makes these shorts so special. From Topshop.
Black cycling shorts with lace trim at the hems. They are very comfortable and the lace makes them pretty. They'll be great for holidays and for casual wear. From Topshop.
I promise not to buy any more black pieces for S/S 2012!
Now it's time to do a wardrobe edit. I must look at denim pieces, tropical/flower prints and leopard accessories that I already have.

A DRESS FOR ALL SEASONS
I bought this beautiful black dress from Topshop in early January and it will take me through to the summer. In silky moss crepe, it's draped, wrapped, long sleeved and very wearable. I like wearing it with H&M's marvellous black 60 denier control leggings for a slinky look and little biker boots. I just add discreet faux diamond star earrings and silver initial chain necklace from Accessorize.

TWO GREAT LOOKS
- For front row at the Valentino A/W 2012/13 fashion show, Natalia Vodianova wore a navy poloneck tucked inside navy skinny, ankle cropped trousers under a navy jacket with gilt buttons. Her accessories were a black Moynat bag and little Givenchy sandals. She wore her hair in a chignon with gold creole earrings. Simple chic!
- Natalia again - this time on the cover of Vogue Paris March edition in a Chanel tweed jacket with a black leather camellia brooch. I don't recommend though that we wear it topless!
