Mary Katrantzou for Topshop and Longchamp

Spring has just started (well, two days ago but still)! This means that it's time to put your coats, scarfs and gloves away and break out your favourite spring attire. For me, I couldn't be more happy about spring. The weather is instantly improving and I'm so glad to be rid of wearing a thick coat everyday! Spring, for me, is a mix of winter and summer; it still can be chilly yet it always seems to be sunny. After summer, spring is definitely my favourite season. Today, I'm going to talk about my new favourite designer collaboration which screams excitement and is perfect for spring.

Designer collaborations with popular high street shops are always exciting. H&M have always been a favourite of mine in producing the best collections with world-famous designers. In the space of just two years they have teamed up with Marni, Versace, Jimmy Choo, Tom Ford, Lavin, Sonia Rykiel and Givenchy - and I'm pretty sure there are many more to add, and many more to come in the future.

This time, however, it's high street giant Topshop who are collaborating with the designers. Previous designer collaborations have been with Christopher Kane and Kate Moss with both proven to be highly successful. Topshop's newest teaming is with designer Mary Katrantzou...

Mary Katrantzou is a greek designer who's works include busy floral prints, splashes of colour and avant garde structured items. Her collection with Topshop is just that. Previously, she has designed two small lines for the store both inspired by English country gardens, florals and ornaments.

Yet this time, her collection is bigger and, for me, better!

The exclusive nine-piece range is available now from Topshop online and stores nationwide.

In addition to Topshop, Mary is also teaming up with designer brand Longchamp to two exclusive bags bearing exclusive new prints!










These bags are available at many department stores such as Selfridges and Harvey Nichols and prices range between £94 and £345. Pretty steep, but just look how awesome they look!

I believe that they are limited edition so grab them while you can.

Anyway thats all I wanted to talk about! My original plan was to do a list of spring fashion essentials so when I was researching some items, I came across this collection and knew I needed to talk about this instead. I can't believe I've never heard of Mary Katrantzou before - I love her designs.

I hope you enjoyed this, and I'll talk to you soon!

PS. I just found out that Julie Andrews (actress from Sound of Music and Mary Poppins) went to my high-school. Seriously, how awesome is that?! And the bassist from one of my favourite bands You Me At Six went their as well!

Arsenal won the football last night so I'm pretty happy :)
