TOPSHOP SUMMER FESTIVAL

I loooove Topshop. I am 57 years of age and love the quirkiness of their fashion and how they mix and match their garments in the store. And of course, their Flagship Store in Oxford Circus tick all the boxes. Fashionable, quirky, trendy, comfortable, wellpriced etc.  Just last Thursday the whole store was dedicated to the Summer Festivals which are so popular and videly spread around the UK. Above, go to this summers festivals in crochet dresses and washed out denim jackets.

Dressed for the hot weather or the beach in neon colours and jungle prints. You might even meet a Flamingo or two.

The monochromes are one of the summers big hits. Mix with red. Notice the "just over the knee" length of the skirt and the tummy showing tops (not for me).

Pastels and "easter" colours. Yellow with lilac and purple and pinks. Again, a total mix of patterns with the kaleidoscope varieties taking the price!

Grungy girls in dungarees and loose flowery throusers. And of course, some flower in your hair....

For the more tough and chic girls this summer, black with citric yellow and white. Fresh and punky at the same time. Right down my street.

Next door to Topshop @ Oxford Circus is Miss Selfridges. More girly and at the moment more or less totally devoted to Gatsby! Lovely dresses for all the summer parties...

In Topshops boutique this week - underwear, nightwear or daywear? I guess you choose.

More festivals in Topshops flagship store window with a theme of hippies in denim and feathers and grungy girls in pink and Missoni inspired patterns.

Mens fashion in indigo with splashes of neons. Fresh and clean.

When I was in my teens it was very "in" to wear chiffong scarves in all colours. Then they were very cheap so I could afford to have them in all colours. Just found them again, now bigger and in these neon colours. Not too pricy but not cheap. Topshop again.

Holiday wear..with short shorts and bustiers. And of course, washed out denim...

Dressed for the city in pink and animal prints. Notice the hats and the sneakers.

Dressed as a proper fashionblogger in a quirky mix of colours, patterns and colourful shoes and handbags. Notice the "blingy" necklaces and girly socks.

I loooove these bodycon dresses, suits any occasion and any age! It is down to how you assesorize them. Nearly bought this one but realized I have at least three very similar ones in my wardrobe! Add denim and a sunhat for this summers BBQ:s.

A more girly look with neon coral and flowers. Perhaps pink hair this summer or a wig?

Finally, found this lovely fabric at the Interior Fair in Excel last week (East London). It had the same effect on me as the bodycon dress from Topshop above.  It is by www.timourousbeasties.com that I have admired since they started. Unexpected kaleidoscope patterns were new this spring. More fashion and interior design inspiration tomorrow from Stockholm. Watch this space!
