Hello ★

This week i am absolutely loving Mr-Shoes. Mainly because they are offering buy one get one half price on all their amazing shoes at the moment. I just can't resist a bargain and pretty shoes.

Even though winter is still refusing to leave and with the bitter temperatures and snow this weekend, I still find myself dreaming of cute dresses, sunglasses and a day at the beach with a good book and cocktails. I have already started updating my wardrobe from winter to spring / summer and I'm now on the hunt for the perfect shoes. My wish list below included cute flats,  sandals  and heels which will look amazing with my summer wardrobe.

Miranda Kerr for Mango.

 
 
 
 
This week I couldn't help but notice Miranda Kerr's collection at Mango. It is due to be released for their Spring/ summer 2013 collection replacing Kate Moss who has worked with Mango for the past three seasons. I was attracted to the clothing range when i saw the shot of Miranda in a black mini skirt, cropped top and orange blazer ensemble. I wouldn't wear the top and skirt but i love, love the blazer and will be looking out for this one when it's released.

 In another shot,  she sits on a stool in a gorgeous comfy knitted jumper and ripped blue jeans. Love the pattern and shape of this jumper.
 
 
 
The only outfit i didn't like was this crop top and double-suede. On Miranda Kerr its going to look hot but on any average girl it may be a little cringe worthy.

 
 
The complete set of campaign pictures will be released in February 2013 but you can sneakily see some of the other outfits in the campaign video below.
 
 
 
 
What do you think of the collection?
