Hi Melissa!

Since launching in 2010, footwear brand Mini Melissa has gone from strength to strength.

The collection now boasts collaborations with Vivienne Westwood, the Campana Brothers, Little Prince and most recently Minnie Mouse! 

With cute adornments ranging from hearts to little kitty faces, these are a firm children's favourite, most recently being sported by Harper Beckham herself!

Gnomes!

To mark the centenary of the Chelsea Flower Show, The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has lifted the ban on gnomes at this year’s event to raise funds for the nationwide RHS Campaign for School Gardening.

A host of celebrities including Sir Elton John and Dame Maggie Smith have been invited to decorate and paint gnomes to be auctioned off to help more school kids to garden.

The 100th Chelsea Flower Show takes place at the Royal Hospital in Chelsea until 25th May. 

Ooh La La!

We discovered these paper costumes by OMY Design & Play at Pulse last week and absolutely adore them.

Cheerful and creative, this French brand is definitely one to watch.

Bubble exhibitor Redurchin has recently launched a London taxi print range of which 50p from every item sold before September will be donated to the 2013 Magical Taxi Tour.
