Going Crackers for Parrot Print

It's a happy day when my two favourite things come together- fashion and parrots. I've had a soft spot for the birds since a spell of travel in Central America and so was super happy to notice parrots appearing with celebrities- just check out Paris in parrot print by Voom(above) (Voom is available at www.emoda.com ). It is my pleasure to report on all things tropical just in time for the hot weather....

Topshop is the shining star of this story with a range of parrot print products, my favourite being this super summery 80's vibe one shoulder tee. Available now at http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=162936&parent_category_rn=42325&productId=1113010&langId=-1

If full on parrot print is a bit OTT for you then check out this bikini from the Just Cavalli collection at ASOS (http://www.asos.com/Just-Cavalli/Just-Cavalli-Logo-Parrot-Print-Triangle-Bikini/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=511439&SearchQuery=parrot&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=PinkParrotPrint), subtle parrot print in green or pink will look great with a tan.


I am really really excited about this silk tunic from the newly launched Matthew Williamson collection at H&M (details at www.hm.com). His collection has a number of pieces featuring bold parrot print but this is my summer must have- move fast, this will fly out of the shops (ha ha). Wear over a bikini on the beach and with statement jewellery for the evening. Effortless summer glamour.

For those not loving such bold colours try this tee from Urban Outfitters (http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/Rio-De-Carnival-Tee/invt/5111421480001&bklist=) - it will look really cute dressed down with skinny jeans and gladiators.

I am also loving this jersey dress T-Bags (http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/40588), the unusual print that gives the impression of parrots without featuring any parrots will get you noticed . This truly tropical dress is perfect for showing off a tan, team with heels and bangles for evening drinks at a beach bar.

Pics of me in my parrot purchases to follow shortly!
