You Da Bomb

Gucci

What is going on with this crazy weather? Spring and sunny one minute, cold and wintery the next; I feel like I’m coat on, coat off the whole time. The answer? A bomber jacket. Not only is it the coat of the season, it’s the solution to this can’t-make-up-its-mind weather situation.

Miss Selfridge

Whether you’re expecting now or already a new mum, the bomber is great for those “Do I need a coat?” days. As your bump gets bigger you can wear it unzipped over a dress or tie it round your waist when feel yourself heating up (basically the whole time when you’re pregnant!) They’re also great if you’re feeding, worn over a strappy top, its just a quick zip undone and plug baby in!

Asos White

They’re great for all occasions too, with sequinned styles for nights out or khaki floral printed for day, with literally the whole high street covering this trend, you’re bound to find a style you like. Marks and Spencer has some great styles I noticed when I went in store this week, you can see some here.

Word of warning, there are quite a few shiny versions around, so to avoid the Ryan Gosling in Drive look and keep it feminine by wearing over a dress or skirt. Add a red lip like the above and job done! Go get yours now….

Aussies do Interiors well. It’s a fact. Luckily, we don’t have to travel to the other side of the world to get a piece of it either as uber-nice lifestyle brand Love Mae is now available here thanks to S-c Brands. Add some character to your child’s nursery with some of their easy to use wall decals, like their wigwam theme or flying birds.

The best thing about these is they instantly change the feel to a room without the need of a major paint job. The decals stick to any surface and can be easily removed, so ideal for ever-changing children’s tastes.

Love Mae also has a great range of children’s dining sets. The beautiful designs include safari, woodland and fruit themed as well as many more, they’re perfect for meal times at home or picnics in the park.

Stick your neck out

It’s the easiest (and cheapest) Spring wardrobe sprucer around. The neck scarf has been around since the AW15 shows from the likes of Michael Kors, Louis Vuitton and on into Spring Summer at Emporio Armani. And they’re going nowhere fast by the look of it as the high street has followed suit. I have to say I was sceptical at first, thinking it could look more flight steward than stylish, but with all the prints to choose from, you’re bound to find one that’ll work with your existing wardrobe. I went for a paisley print from Asos to wear over a plain round neck knit or with breton stripes.
