It is still cold here in London and most of the fashion elite have moved on to Autumn 2013. However Spring is beginning to blossom in the shop windows. I had a wander round Notting Hill, a great London shopping area, last Friday. It was refreshing to see light colours and softer fabrics after months of heavy wool, boots, scarves and hats. I have still not really started to plan my Spring/Summer wardrobe, somehow I do not feel very enthused while still clad in winter thermals. I did however experience a frisson of inspiration when I saw the brighter colours and fluid shapes in the windows. I loved the MaxMara windows and will probably stick to my tried and tested formula of navy and white/cream with touches of brighter colours here and there when I finally get round to wardrobe planning.

| If you are on a slim budget NottingHill has a fantastic consignment shop packed full of designer items - Good for Mary Portas her shops are proving a success. |

| Wall-London - Great mid season sweater. Light and fluid |

| Wall-London - I am not great with wearing orange but it can be a good accent colour in moderation |

Helmut Lang looks luscious...your picture made me want to touch the pants!! Thanks for a little tour of Nottinghill...I think you just helped me to make a few decisions about spring.
So good to see the lovely beginnings of spring, although the chill and the wind make it seem far away.
According to Neiman Marcus here in the US, orange is the new beige for spring. Next time I'm in London I'm contacting you for where to do my shopping. Thanks.
I, too, am so looking forward to spring. Thanks for reminding me that it really is on its way, sometimes I forget on these sub-zero days LOL Thanks for sharing the spring fashions!
