Flash forward to Spring: High streets hottest

Spring might seem like light-years away at the moment and with the constant downpour in Athens, along with the dreary grey skies, I'm thinking spring just couldn't come any sooner. What has been seriously awesome this Jan is the fact that the skies are getting lighter with twilight falling upon us Athenians somewhere around 5:30pm-ish now. Hoorah!

Along the way I've spotted some of high streets hottest Spring looks, a sure fire way to lift my spirits and ignore the fact that I've caught a stinky cold off Mr. Perseus.

River Islands Spring Summer 11 campaign got me hooked, from the vibrant pops of colour - yes, the cobalt and those mustard pumps are kinda calling to me, sports luxe and inspirational 70's, lots of wide palazzo style pants too - me likey!

Primark - yes shock horror that I mention these guys, but whilst I might not be buying from here, (unless I hop on a plane and feel the urgent need for fast throwaway fashion) I will mention that I quite the looks/styling they've got going on. I think the 5th look, loose sleeveless top teamed with mid length skirt is very Kate Bosworth, no? Whereas look 3. has Alexa Chung written all over it. What do you think?
