Zinging it up for Spring

I'm actually fully embracing all those hot colours around. I'm very wary of trends sometimes when it hits the shops and gets overwhelming but as we start to see glimpses of summer, I just can't get enough.

I think the trick maybe, like all trends I suppose, is to make them our own, add them to our style.

Let's declare summer!

LisaT Spring/Summer '09 Cashmere Collection

First layering up: vests, blouses, cardies, jackets etc etc to keep out the cold. Then as soon as you walk into a shop/work/tube station... instantly hot and bothered. Oh, springtime is here.

The answer could well lie in cashmere and more specifically in Central Saint Martin's Graduate LisaT's Spring/Summer '09 collection of gorgeous lightweight cashmere knits.

Worried knit = Scottish grannies?

Fear not, for she pushes design and technical boundaries to produce a collection of interesting textures including plenty of ruffles, pleats and tucks in unusual silhouettes such as bell-sleeved cardigans, body-con dresses and my fave a gorgeous ruffle texture jumper (above) so not only will you be cosy when you need to be and cool when you don't - you'll also be a winner in the style stakes.

LisaT - thank you!
