Morning all – and happy Friday… yay, here at last!

I am a big Mulberry fan and have not been disappointed with the Spring Summer 2013 collection! The new season is a blend of English country heritage with a spectrum of summer sorbet shades… delightful

Meghan Collison is the model for the Spring Summer 2013 campaign, which was shot by renowned British photographer Tim Walker.

Mulberry creative director Emma Hill said of Meghan: “I love her beauty – classic but with a sexy impishness which is super-Mulberry! She has so much character and brings an edginess to the prettiness of the colours and perfectly works the cuts and shapes of the featured styles.”

As part of the campaign celebrations these fab illustrations were commissioned from Jennifer Roberts, who did something similar for AW 2012.

What do you think of this new season collection? I know its hard to think about Spring/Summer at the moment with all of this snow, but even more reason for us to look forward to what we will (hopefully) soon be wearing!

Have a fab Friday and I shall be back soon xx

I am loving the new Maisie collection from Mulberry. They have used a shadow of the iconic Mulberry hardware on this collection, rather than the usual metal – all the details but in a unique trompe l’oeil front panel.

What do you think of the Maisie collection? Pop over to the Mulberry website to view the full collection.

Afternoon all. London Fashion Week has been amazing and one of my favourite shows was most definitely Mulberry – I love the Spring Summer 2013 collection and it is already making me wish the winter away!

Mulberry say… “SS ’13 takes us back to the Seventies and the years of a young Mulberry brand. A decadent medley of flora and fauna blends with luscious fresh colour and tropical-inspired prints, mixing up a laid-back spectrum of sorbet shades and exotic inspiration with our rural English craft heritage. Prints and colours blocked head-to-toe, menswear and vintage military-inspired outerwear, Seventies pleats and a brand new bag collection, Willow.”

Here are a few of my favourites – loving the dogs too!

What do you think – are you a Mulberry fan? Who isn’t?! Which is your favourite from above? I am loving the dark florals and want that dog too!

I am a massive Mulberry fan and you may remember me talking about this in The Mulberry Del Rey post back in February? The AW12 Del Rey Collection is now complete and has the addition of an over-sized version as well as snake and croc print versions.

The gorgeous bags have been designed and made in honour of one of my favourite singers Lana Del Rey. I particularly love this burgundy coloured one – perfect for this A/W. Did you see my recent Fashion & Burgundy post?

This video shows us how the Del Rey is made – shot on location at the Mulberry factory in rural Somerset. The British factory is known as The Rookery and you can learn more about this here.

What do you think of the Del Rey? I love it and think the video insight into how it is all done is fab. Please click here to view the full Del Rey collection.

I also posted my favourite Lana Del Rey track Video Games a while back – have a quick listen as it is such a gorgeous song!

Have a lovely afternoon and I shall be back soon xx

Happy Friday! The bank holiday weekend is here at last, and not just any bank holiday either – but a very special Queens Diamond Jubilee bank holiday! How appropriate then that Mulberry, one of my favourite designers, has just launched their Union Jack collection.

To celebrate this exciting year of Britishness – with the Jubilee and the London Olympics - Mulberry have created a set of limited edition products featuring the Union Jack for the Lily, Pouch, Bayswater and a selection of key-rings. FABULOUS

Which is your favourite from the collection? Ooh, I love them all – if I had to choose, then I would probably go for the Ostrich Lily (bottom left)! Key-rings would make a great little gift too.

Afternoon all. Regular Delightful readers may know by now that I have a bit of a Mulberry obsession – I love love love it! I also think that Kate Middleton (The Duchess of Cambridge) is rather fabulous, so it was great to see her rocking a gorgeous emerald Mulberry creation this week, at a reception at Buckingham Palace to mark the start of the Queen’s diamond jubilee celebrations.

So here is the dress (on the right) as Mulberry do it, in their Autumn Winter campaign…

Here is The Duchess of Cambridge wearing the same Mulberry Full Pleated Shirt Dress at the Palace bash. It is now sold out on the Mulberry website – sorry ladies!

The current Autumn Winter collection is full to the brim of gems that I would happily wear every day. How fab are these coats and boots? Bags go without saying obviously!

I MUST have this big pom pom scarf – just think how warm and cosy that would keep you. I would probably wear it all summer too! Also, where can I get one of those giant owls?!

The new Spring Summer 2012 collection recently shown off at London Fashion Week also looks pretty special – you may have seen my London Fashion Week review on that SS Collection?

Have a lovely afternoon and I shall be back soon xx

With London Fashion Week such a fabulous success I just wanted to share a few of my favourite Spring/Summer 2012 collections.

Mulberry

I have always loved Mulberry and cannot get enough of the handbags especially – love, love, love

Their new SS collection is fabulous and for me the catwalk was all about the huge wedges, handbags and big hair – I love big hair!

I am so loving the socks and shoes – something I am always a fan of – even more so now (when done like this however – not like a stereotypical Brit Dad on holiday!!).

This dress is just fabulous – with the gorgeous overlay and sparkly belt – I will take 2

The Mulberry after party  (at one of my favourite London Hotels - Claridge’s) was an English seaside inspired wonderland with an ice cream van (not a regular occurrence outside Claridge’s I am sure!), jungle animals and even Mulberry rock (as in stick of rock!).

Temperley

Temperley is another British designer that I just love – and so too does Pippa Middleton apparently, who was front row at the show! That gorgeous emerald green gown that Pippa wore after the Royal Wedding was an Alice Temperley creation.

Big wedges were also a big feature on the Temperley catwalk – better get practising walking girls!

Lots of lovely floaty fabrics and beautiful colours – so pretty. I personally will give the headscarf a miss – but each to their own – looks great on some!

I could go on gushing, but I think Temperley is summed up perfectly by this paragraph from their site – Alice Temperley’s timeless, feminine designs combine meticulous detail and embellishments with an English eccentricity and personality drawing on everything British; Temperley is the modern day ‘Cool Britannia’.
