Oh look, super yummy, new T-shirts from Caitlin Shearer over at Pepperminte. If you love Caitlin’s prints you will definitely want to wear these illustrations on your chest all day long. I particularly like The Bleeding Knees Club tee shown above.

Time for me to come over all flag waving as LL&O celebrates the work of four UK based designers. Well, three designers and one national institution, pattern design heaven!
Susie Cowie is a London based freelance embroidery designer & recent graduate of The Glasgow School of Art. I am in awe of her work, it transports me to a beautiful place, a fairy tale world of spun silver and tiny, tiny spider web stitches!
The Liberty print is enjoying a resurgence this summer, watch as the world blooms with florals. I particularly like the collections from APC & Cacharel.
Millie Liberty Print Smock Dress, A.P.C.
Green Liberty Print Apron Dress, Cacharel Liberty Print
Yellow Liberty Print Pocket Dress, Cacharel Liberty Print
Hand drawn & painted prints from Swash, the Botanica Psychedelia collection is inspired by natural history. Butterflies, bugs, squirrels and birds, very fine indeed.
Lisa Stickley runs a boutique and online store from her base in London. I am such a fan of her quintessentially English printed textiles and home wares.
Hooray for the UK!
Libertine Spring/Summer 2009
Sunday, May 17th, 2009
Libertine design the kind of clothes I would love to wear but I know they wouldn’t suit me, I’m a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl, big bum and boobs, frills and flounces are a big no, no! I really like the mix of styles and sources of inspiration here. Skull prints seem to be popping up all over the place at the moment, Topshop carry more accessible versions of this print. I will have to wait for autumn, I can do beautiful, big coats!
Oh and Libertine have collaborated on some plush too! I love these crazy, hybrid pandas. It would be fun to try something similar…hmm!
And for Autumn/Winter 09/10 some seriously lovely coats, roll on winter, I never know how to dress for warm weather but frosty is a dream for me!
