Laura Ashley Spring/Summer 2013 press show

Bloomsbury - Round Vanessa Cushion £40, Charleston Cushion £45

Today on shops i love I wanted to share with you my favourite interior collections from the Laura Ashley Spring/Summer 2013 London press show that I went to back in November. New home stories Coastal, Palace Garden, Shades of Pale, Kyoto and my favourite, Bloomsbury. A nostalgic story including Charleston House patterns that Laura Ashley first acquired the rights to in 1987. With Laura Ashley celebrating there 60th anniversary this year they felt it was the right time for it's revival and in keeping with the original 1987 colourations of Queen Mary, the collection is in a beautiful colour palette of plum, amethyst, jade and steel grey with pops of bright yellow and green.

Cath Kidston Spring/Summer 2013 press show

Today on shops i love I wanted to share with you the Cath Kidston Spring/Summer 2013 London press show that I went to back in November. As Cath Kidston celebrates there 20th Anniversary in 2013 they are relaunching some of the old classics like the suitably Summer strawberry print. Fresh updates to this print include printed leather satchels and embroidered bags. There was also lots of great new prints like the automobiles and trains print.

With the nations love growing for all things baking they have a great new baking range including the prettiest printed rolling pins, measuring jugs and mixing bowls. Talking of baking, have you heard about the new spin off of "The Great British Bake Off" being all about sewing? Well Cath Kidston had and they had a whole section of great sewing treasures like the embroidered bungalow sewing basket and armchair pincushion.

I think I might need to indulge myself with something strawberry printed, how about you?
































Have a sweet day!
