Topshop goes mini!
Calling all yummy mummies – if you’re on the hunt for your little ‘un’s next outfit, Topshop is your new one-stop shop.
Topshop Mini is a cute collection of robot jumpers, mini tutus and ice-cream print tops for kids aged 3-18 months. Just dress up your bundle of joy, then pop to the womenswear department to treat yourself. Now that’s what I call multitasking! PS: it’s a girls-only gig… sorry boys!

How to wear
Flower power
This is the season of the full-on floral! While I normally steer well clear of anything remotely girlie, there’s something about the new blooms I can’t get enough of. I love the contrast of a boyish shirt in a feminine print, that S/S ’12′s florals are tailored instead of floaty and, finally, the fact that you can cover yourself in them and it’s not a faux pas!
So, if twee isn’t your thing, button your shirt up to the top and wear with attitude. It’s an almost borrowed-from-the-boyfriend look.

- Find a floral Look out for digital designs, granny prints and anything that looks like floral overload.
- Shoe-business This combo looks best with flatforms or brogues. No stilettos allowed!
- Match rules Try a shirt, jacket and trousers all in the same print – you might just like it.
- I spy Geek-chic glasses finish off the look.

Earrings
It’s time to forget the bad press earrings have had in their time (yes, we mean you, Pat Butcher!). These killer drop earrings will shake up any LBD.
