Saima Says Style

Do you remember those Henry vacuum cleaners from your childhood? Perhaps you have one at home now. Well check out these mini versions for your desk. Can we say UBER CUTE! My sister bought me Hetty and I just love it. They’re both available from Play.com.

Here in the UK, May is the month of Bank Holiday, hurrah! Here are my favourite spring-inspired flowery holdalls/weekend bags that will add a touch of style to your weekend away.

Cherry Blossom Weekender – Accessorize

ASOS Rose Print Bowler Holdall – ASOS

A Chiswick Flowers Holdall – Cath Kidston

I apologise for the break in transmission; I haven’t been well lately. We did however manage to get away for the May Bank Holiday. We went to the Cotswolds in Oxfordshire, visited several of the lovely picturesque villages there. Burford and Bourton-on-the-Water were the best ones for kitsch homeware shopping and afternoon teas. Here are some pictures from our weekend away.

I was reading my new favourite blog, Twig & Thistle when I came across Kathleen’s wedding photos. Her theme was yellow and grey and wow! I love it! Now I keep coming across that colour combination and it’s becoming a close second to Pink and Brown.

This was my first trip to Columbia Road flower market in London and it turned out to be quite a treat. So many different plants and flowers; tropical flowers and orange trees. The wonderful weather just added to the whole experience.

There are also a lot of vintage and gift boutiques around, including Open House. They have two rooms with gift items, vintage furniture and homewares. They also have a garden featuring plants and other gift items. The owners very kindly let me take some photos. I will definitely be going back to Columbia Road the next time I have a free weekend.
