LA celebs just can’t get enough of our new favourite thing: LOVE QUOTES SCARVES – the easy way to add a splash of summer colour to a neutral look. I’ve nabbed myself ‘Mustique’ which is a beautiful aqua colour and is working wonders for my grey jersey maxi dress and denim jacket combo!!
Which is your favourite colour?

As we’re on the subject of all things flowers, I thought I’d bring you some pictures of austique at the moment which is looking bloomin’ marvellous (sorry- couldn’t resist the pun. I think I have Friday fever).
Our delivery men have valiantly fought through the ash cloud, risking life and limb , with no thought to their personal safety, to bring you new deliveries from America’s finest: Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent, Love Quotes Scarves (beloved of celebrities around the world- check my next post) and Kendra Scott. It was definitely worth it! What do you think?

These photographs attest to two things: firstly, I need to buy a new camera and stop using my blackberry to take photos. Secondly, there are some really shockingly bad-taste things out there in the world!
Feeling newly bereft of shopdog, I was taken out by the man yesterday to Columbia rd flower market to cheer me up. Shopdog has been dog-napped by her grandparents for an extended summer holiday in the Isle of Man and so I am feeling a little blue. What better way to forget my woes and get in the mood for summer, than to stroll amongst the hustle and bustle of the busy flower market in the glorious sunshine.
I was particularly taken by the barrow boys (average age approx 12) who were selling their little hearts out with fantastic success! I even considered poaching one for Austique, but wasn’t sure that his tactic of shouting ‘come on down ladies, the price is right. 2o fer a fiver, 20 fer a fiver ’ would go down very well with the yummy mummies of Chelsea.
Imagine my delight to find these rather bad-taste mugs in the window of one of the shops on Columbia road. Not only did they remind me of my beloved shopdog, they also made me laught, a LOT…
Check out the photos below, and a small selection of some of the beautiful flowers on show.

It seems LiLo just can’t get enough of Austique’s summer collection. Here she is, sporting yet another of our core labels, Kain Tees. And doesn’t she look fabulous!

Spot the difference between our in-house glamazon, Alex Finlay and Stacey Solomon, who was filming at Austique today for her new ITV show.
Rumours have started to fly that perhaps they are twins, separated at birth. Hmmmn… what a bizarre twist of fate that would be!
