  1. Top Bird loves: Spring Topshop stuff

    I haven't bought anything from Topshop for ages. Lots of looking, not much buying. But that's all changed with the new designer ranges by the likes of Marios Schwab, Christopher Kane and Jonathan Sauders. Sadly, my favourite Marios Schwab dress has sold out (no surprises there), but you can see the very fabulous Susie Bubble wearing it here. However, I quite like this ultra-sweet Richard Nicholls striped cotton dress with a summery ruffled bib:

    Finsk's covetable collection of shoes for Topshop are also on my wishlist. Not exactly bargainous, though:

    I'm particularly excited by the kitten heels and sandals which wouldn't pose too much of a threat to my poor old arthritic toe. I can remember a time when I would have run ten miles from anything kitten-heel-esque. God forbid the chunky ankle (chunkle) effect. It's amazing how chronic pain has made kitten heels my friend, and chunkle the least of my problems.

    Elsewhere on Topshop online, I quite like this pretty suede clutch with an oversized bow:

    Large zip-top bow clutch, £30, from Topshop.

    And check out this super-lovely brooch I found:

    Lady Walker brooch, £7, from Topshop.

    Cute, huh? Nice price, too, and it's just the thing to perk up my totally-over-it winter coats. Hmmm, I just might have to pay Topshop a visit tomorrow ...
