My Picks From Boden's Spring Collection & WIWT

You may recall in a recent post I gave you a sneak preview of Boden's SS15 collection (see here) so today I thought I'd share with you my picks from their latest collection that are perfect for taking us into Spring & beyond.

Starting with something that's not new in but is back in stock in their sale & that's their leopard print clutch.  Now if you don't already own a Bet-tastic clutch then you really should consider in investing in one.  They go with everything, are a great way to jazz up the simplest of outfits, look fab with a spot of pattern clashing & are my 'go to' bag whenever I'm not sure which bag to use.  Plus they really are a style staple.






Talking of classic items for your wardrobe that are going to last then how gorgeous is this Westminster bag?  I'm just loving it in navy & think it would look fab teamed with a pom pom key ring to add that little bit of interest & individuality.






I'm also loving Boden's Milan Clutch too.  Available in four colours but my colour of choice just has to be the navy.






Now if you happened to, like me, miss out on the neon Hush scarf last summer then fear not as this Boden one looks quite similar.  I'm just loving the bobbly neon edging, which would be perfect for adding a splash of colour without being all out there & would look stunning when teamed with sun kissed skin - oh how I long to feel the warmth of the sun - it seems like its been a while doesn't it?!






Moving onto dresses now & I'm loving both the colours & patterns of this simple tunic dress.  Perfect for teaming with heels & a simple clutch for a night out or dressing down with flats & a boyfriend fit blazer for the day.






This next dress I spotted at Boden's press day & I haven't been able to get it out of my mind.  Who doesn't love a denim dress.  Perfect for layering with a biker, chunky boots & thick scarf till the weather warms up & then sandals & several necklaces & bracelets for a boho spring/summer look too.






Moving onto their jumpers now with this gorgeous striped number.  Needless to say I'm never going to have enough stripes in my wardrobe & I'm loving this grey & navy combo - classic, striped & so easy to wear - do I need anymore justification?!!






Turning to shoes & if you missed out on their leopard print slip ons that were available for a short time in the autumn then fear not as Boden have re-released them.  I have a pair of these babies (in fact it was on seeing these that eventually led me to the dark side of the slip on & I've never looked back!) & they seriously are soooo comfy not to mention stylish, I can't wait to start wearing mine more again come the better weather.














This next pair of shoes I think are going to be the Boden equivalent of their jewelled pumps from last season.  I just love these & with the heel being 8.5cm it's not too high for those of us who aren't too adapt at walking in skyscrapers & they even do them in a lower heel here.  The only problem is they're available in three stunning colours but I think the last pair are my favourites....any guesses why?!!














Moving onto tops & I'm just loving their Marion Top.  Available in several colours but I think the navy & orange combo is my favourite & perfect for injecting a bit of colour.






And finally how about this casual striped sweater?  Of course I'm loving the stripes but what I really love most is the dipped hem.  I think this would look fab teamed with some distressed boyfriend jeans & white trainers for a great stylish laid back look.






Finally here's my outfit for today - a nice quiet one at home.  After an early start for me making sure our son made his newspaper round, I've done the ironing, prepped the veg for lunch, made soup for in the week & the bread is baking in the bread maker (can't tell you how much we are loving this new purchase!) so time to start that Sunday chilling vibe!
