Last year I went to my first Cath Kidston press day. I was absolutely blown away by all the lovely fashion and home items in the SS15 collection as well as the lovely way everything was displayed You can see my favourite items from the currant collection here. A couple of weeks ago I popped along to the AW15 press preview and was instantly transported to Christmas time. The press day was kitted out with its very own grotto and santa had turned up in style wearing an amazing Cath Kidston floral print suit. There were so many lovely christmas decorations and gifts on display and I’m already excited to start decking the tree and putting up our stockings. The fashion offerings were some of my favourites yet from Cath Kidston. When I worked there over a decade ago they were just starting out with their gorgeous clothing collections and as each year passes the collections seen to grow and become more fashion focussed. For vintage loving girls there are plenty of lovely dresses which manage to be both modern and nostalgic at the same time.

I am completely in love with these gorgeous rose prints. There are not only dresses but also little twinsets featuring skirts and crop tops. If you like novelty prints, then this horse print might be up your street. There is also an amazing penguin dress for winter and a navy dress in the classic cowboy print which I think will look really good with my wallpaper! I have my eye on this gorgeous embroidered sweater which I would wear with a pair of vintage trousers or tucked in to a circle skirt. For cold winter days, this tweed coat would be absolutely perfect and it will go with everything! One of my favourite pieces were these lovely fur collars which would look perfect over a dress or jumper and keep your neck warm all through winter. The colours are also gorgeous. Another warm addition would be one of these pretty scarves. I had one of these last season and they are big enough to be worn as a wrap or a shawl and they are so soft. I wore mine nearly every day and loved it.

I also really liked this little hat, which is so pretty and traditional and would be perfect for keeping my hair smooth in the cold damp weather. For the cold nights I love these pyjamas, they are inspired by classic vintage bedsheets. I’m sure most people are familiar with these classic candy stripes which still seem to be everywhere. I can remember my mum and dad having old sheets in this print when I was little.pinch pleat curtain formula There were lots of lovely slipper designs and these cosy floral ones were my favourites.thermalogic weathermate grommet curtain panel I absolutely love Converse shoes, but my feet don’t! jiaxin curtains

They are way too narrow for me. I find the Cath Kidston alternatives fit me so much better and these floral high tops would be perfect for casual days or to dress down a pretty dress. I’d go all out and wear them with brightly coloured tights. As usual there are so many lovely handbags in all the prints. They come in lots of different shapes and sizes and for any other busy bloggers out there, some of them are big enough to fit a lap-top and camera in. curtains and blinds downendI also have my eye on the pretty floral watch. ikea deka curtain wire instructions Being a mum of two girls, I’m always on the lookout for nice things for them too. detachable blackout curtain liningI love these adorable cardigans which would look so cute with little vintage dresses and look very hand knitted.pink tab top curtains 66x54

There are lots of cute soft t-shirts in a great selection of prints. The pretty penguin top is perfect for winter. I love these spotty shoes and really want to get matching ones for both my girls. Cath Kidston backpacks are great for school and last forever, I usually end up using them for my instead though! The robot print is absolutely fantastic and would definitely be perfect for both boys and girls. There are loads of great new home pieces, I think you can get pretty much anything in a Cath Kidston print now! The clock is lovely. I always love the doggy designs and this little dachshund teapot is absolutely adorable. Being a little obsessed with all things London and a total tea addict I instantly placed this tea set top of my wish list. I even sent Rob a picture of it from the press day. I absolutely love it! This autumnal tableware is really cute and I absolutely love the red squirrel print. The leaf shaped plates would look perfect alongside vintage china.
