Prints Charming at Liberty*









You won't have escaped the fact that Liberty prints are everywhere this year - and I mean everywhere - not just Topshop dresses, even Nike trainers!

If you're going 'country style', including Liberty prints in your scheme gives you florals with edge to avoid 'chintz hell'. For inspiration go check out Prints Charming at Liberty's flagship in Regent Street. They even clad the building in the bold bright pink floral Betsy print to get the point across! Inside on the 4th floor you'll find the free exhibition - an archive of Liberty designs including new designs by UK design stars such as Lisa from Squint and Lucy Renshaw. I loved the bicycle clad in micro-florals for racing around town.

Cute spring florals*



Everywhere I look I see cute, vintage rose florals online and in the high street. Far from being chintzy I love their nostalgic feel. My favorite vintage piece online is the Miss Verity teapot by website Katy Potts Tea for Two. On the high street, the stunning silk Gracie cushion by Laura Ashley offers a similar vintage feel.
