Thus far I have restrained myself largely from participating in the various patriotic and sporting events that are gracing our fair isle this year. This isn’t through any major dislike of the events, more that I figure if I’m sick of hearing about something, then so must you be and why regurgitate content that is coming at you left right and centre already?

This week however, I was sent the latest Paperself designs including their London collection and loved their unique take on this year’s events. Consider this the Florence Finds nod to London 2012.

Featuring a lash depicting the iconic London skyline and buildings such as the London Eye and the Gherkin, I thought it was pretty clever. That and the bear hats styling and I was sold! For those of you feeling more feminine there’s also an (English) Rose design to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee.

Last but not least, Paperself have teamed up with the V&A to produce the Lace collection. Given the brief of Lace by the V&A, their team was inspired by French silk bobbin lace from the nineteenth century. Very lady-like indeed.

So, anyone for dressing up like a soldier in bear hats this morning, whilst sporting London lashes?

Love,
Rebecca

PS. Come back for a little, big, HUGE announcement at lunchtime. I’m just a bit excited!
