The Lust List...

If this beauty is anything to go by, it looks like Spring/Summer 11 is going to be a great season for River Island.

This yellow skirt will breathe new life into any tired Winter wardrobe.

The loose fit and retro pattern create a vintage vibe and the use of dark brown in the skirt makes it the perfect transitional piece.

It's the little details that ensure River Island is at the top of it's game - so often a cute little belt is included in the price of a dress or skirt. On this occasion I adore the included belt, and it makes styling this skirt a doddle.

Wear with brown brogues and a plain knit cardie now and with a satchel and tee come Summer.

Trend Alert: Brogues

The androgynous look is always en vogue, and this Spring offers a new treat in the form of the brogue. The key item to the boy meets girl look that was all over the S/S11 catwalks.

I've been considering investing in a pair of brogues for some time, but the masculine shoe is not really my style - I'm quite girly at heart. Yet, working in an office and not wanting to wear heels every day, has led me to the conclusion that this shoe would be a sound and timely investment.

To keep it in-line with the rest of my wardrobe, I've opted for a brogue with feminine detailing and a pale colour.

This shoe by Aldo is a great choice at only £40 and is available int he more traditional colours of black and brown. I think the thin sole, slim fit and almond shape toe keep this practical shoe looking stylish. Surely, this is the shoe of February.
