Flocked Bird T-Shirt from Warehouse

Cobalt blue is one of the colours for Spring 2014. It's eye-catching, striking and looks amazing with almost all skin tones and hair colours.  It works with clothing, jewellery, nail polish - anything!

The sales right now provide a good opportunity to find some key pieces in this colour at bargain prices.  I've spotted this flocked bird patterned top in the Warehouse sale.  It's a simple top, but the subtle bird pattern prevents it from being boring. It's versatile enough to be worn with anything for a casual, daytime look; I think it would be perfect with shorts and sandals.

It's still available in sizes 6 to 18, reduced from £26 to £15.  Delivery is normally £3.99 but free when you spend £75 or more using code FREE75.

Delightful Dress: Hope Crochet Trim Embroidered Lace Cap Sleeve Dress from Boohoo.com

There's so many delightful dresses out there, but one can't beat a simple, lace or crocheted white dress for daytime.  It can be paired with so many items, such as a denim jacket, colourful blazer or eclectic jewellery and heels.

I love this simple yet chic crochet trim dress from Boohoo.com.  The crochet detail is delicate, feminine and intricate; it makes what could be a fairly tame dress interesting.  The simplicity of the cut, style and colour means that it can be paired with literally anything, in any colour, and look stunning.  I'd probably add a belt and some coloured, heeled sandals and take it from there!

It comes in sizes 8 to 16 and is usually £22.  However, for a limited time, selected summer items are 20% off with the code SUMMER20, so it's just £17.60.  Bargain!

Father's Day Gift Ideas: Men's Tex Stripe Short Sleeve Shirt from Jigsaw

I really enjoy buying clothing for men, especially as a gift!  T-shirts are always great, and I've already blogged about a fab Darth Vader Daddy one; I suspect I will be searching for a few more as gifts for Father's Day on the 16th.

However, sometimes a man needs something a bit more formal and that's why it's great that Jigsaw are currently running their men's summer clearance sale.  It's often quite difficult to find good quality, short-sleeved cotton work shirts for men, but there are several in the sale which is brilliant.  They are perfect for the office - as is, with a blazer, or smartened up even more with a tie and suit.  In addition, I think these ones are versatile enough that they can be worn with jeans as smart/casual attire.

The shirt comes in pink (shown) or a chambray blue and is reduced from £65 to just £29; sizes available are small to extra large.  There is also a lovely red and white gingham one - reduced from £75 to £29 - but it's only available in a small size.

What do you think?  Is this a good idea for a present for the father in your life?  Add your views in the comments below!
