Petit Bateau Yellow Raincoat..Back in Stock

The iconic Petit Bateau yellow raincoat is back in stock.  It is also available in Navy for those that want to play it a little safer. I love yellow. Generally it can be tricky to wear and even trickier to sell but  im going to give it a go none the less.  Look below for some yellow coated inspiration.

0039 Italy Spring /Summer 2015 at Starburst Boutique

0039 Italy breezed into Starburst about a couple of weeks ago but i still havent got round to mentioning it on here. Fans will be pleased to see that the classic crew necked cardigan has made an appearance in mint green and turquoise while the Liberty print tops and drop waisted chambray dress make easy summer wardrobe additions. The hero piece of the collection is the silk Maxmilla dress in Silk which is great for weddings.

Shot of Colour

As many Starburst shoppers know I am a fan of print and colour. It seems to be in abundance in store at the moment especially from Pazuki, Cash CA, La Paire and Pyrus. Lets hope the warm weather comes back and we can get back into summer mode.

La Paire

Sometimes the best brands you find are the ones you stumble across accidentally. This is what happened when I bought a pair of La Paire sandals in bright green and orange suede two years ago.  They looked far more expensive than they where and I kept an eye on the brand until I met the founder Amy La last summer. Her pretty Spring / Summer 15 collection is inspired by the Art Deco era with an abundance of metallic gloss, Chevron graphics and delicate mesh in luxurious suede and leather. All shoes are handmade in Spain.
