Spring/Summer is my favourite season because I can make use of bright, cheerful colours. Both vibrant colours and muted pastels will make an impact this coming season. So women who like either end of the spectrum can embrace both trends.

Check out my favourite things in the world of Anna Lou this week and the things dropping below the office gossip mill... Going up: Sue Sylvester: The UK has gone Glee (E4, Mondays) crazy. Though let?s face it ? anything that was going to combine the sunshine-y goodness of High School Musical, with the ?who?s the baby daddy?? drama of a daytime American soap and the adorable outfits of an Obsessive Compulsive Student Councillor ?was going to be a hit.

The product I?m craving for this month is the Nars ?Orgasam Illumiator?. It?s only January and I?m feeling the urge to update my make up bag already. After being in Australia for 3 weeks I?ve got a bit of a tan but I feel its fading...fast. Now all I have to rely on is my natural pregnancy glow.

Like presents at Christmas and chocolate eggs at Easter, a new fashion season inevitably means new trends. Not surprisingly, we couldn?t be more excited for the arrival of a new season; which equals lots of retail therapy! Inspired by Vogue's trend report SS10 we have created these fabulous trend collages to show off the best fashion has to offer with a touch of Anna Lou of course!.

Do you dream of achieving the ALOL exceptional accessorising status? Are you able to pull off a totally original and fabulous look under any circumstances?

I was enjoying my usual lunch hour ritual of perusing some of my favourite blogs when I came across this blog- Little Plastic Horses.

My usual two-minute journey from tube station to office has begun to include a little detour. Like my morning decaf and bowl of cereal I can?t handle the morning without a look at the window display at Liberty?s.

This week I am letting you all in on the secret of the amazing Aurora Cafe on Lexington Street, London.

We can?t imagine life before Grazia Magazine.  Inventors of the weekly high fashion fix, Grazia keeps us up to date with what?s hot, what?s new and lots of gossip in between.  Grazia have been a supporter of us at Anna Lou of London since the very beginning so it?s most apt that for their 5th Anniversary they featured our favourite new pieces ? the enamel heart cut-out cuffs in their Fashion Charts.

We LOVE She & Him at Anna Lou HQ. Here's the sweetest of filmclips for their song 'Why Do You Let Me Stay Here'

On Saturday I was invited by the lovely people at Disney to a tea party and private screening of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland hosted by Alice Temperley at the gorgeous Soho Hotel.  Next month my Anna Lou of London for Disney collection will be launched and it was a chance to give the top fashion press and fashionistas alike a sneak peek of the collection, alongside other Alice in Wonderland collaborations by Stella McCartney, Tom Binns and of course the Alice by Alice Temperley range that too was inspired by Lewis Carroll's heroine.

Everyone is going as mad as a hatter for Alice in Wonderland. With the film premiere around the corner and the stars walking the red carpet in London later this week; I thought it was about time to reveal my own Alice-inspired collection.

The Anna Lou office is always buzzing to the hum of some musical tune, but of late we have been struggling to find some music to get us all motivated. This being much to the dismay of our resident office DJ/graphic designer Sara, who always struggles to find something everyone will enjoy.

Spring would not be the same without a bit of Bling, so with a new season on the horizon I have a treat in store for you all. My new long plaited lace necklaces are to be launched in April 2010, just in time for some stylish accessorising.  

X Factor star, Diana Vickers may have been off the musical radar whilst she has been treading the boards on the West End. But the singing sensation is back and ready to release her debut album, ?Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree?.
