But botany aside, with a new season comes a new fashion - shrug of the old, drab thick winter ankle length blacks, greys and navys and enter into the vibrant shapes and hues of spring - we're talking candy carnation couture here.
This is my favourite season - the weather dictates that hemlines aren't so short you have to bear all yet the colours are like a botanic garden in bloom (forever a botanist!) and bring some light into what seems like an eternal winter.
And I know what you are all dying to know...what will I be wearing to celebrate this season's sweet return to life?
Peplums:
Not only is it a great way to accentuate your waist but it's such a cute word (I ♥ plums).

Moving on to the next point - colours:
Pistachio:
Now, Lady Gaga mentions mint green being the colour of next season - I beg to differ...well I don't beg - she's just misinformed - it's pistachio. I love all the pastels - pink, apricot, peach, lilac, lavender, lemon yellow, sky blue - but I am slightly obsessed with pistache.

Mules are back in...but with a twist. I'm loving the KG*Kurt Geiger metallic toe-capped version and Miu Miu mules are phenomenal. It's trends like this that make me happy I was born before the 90s - I have so many mules in my closet that can now see the light of day.

Stilettos - I've always been more of chunky heel kind of gal (less likely to break your ankles) but Prada's Cadillac Stilettos have me wanting to dice with death.
And, of course, spring would not be complete without floral patterns, courtesy of Christopher Kane (S/S 2012):
And now it's my turn:
Shiny, flowery, sparkly jewellery!
The ring I'm wearing is probably the prettiest knuckle duster you'll ever see, it's also the fiercest - those sharp points will take your eye out.

Mirror, Mirror on the wall. Who has the cutest lavender shoes of them all?...Er...ME!
