Boden Spring Summer 2014 Press Day round up

A little while ago I was privileged enough to pop along to the Boden press event to preview the spring summer 2014 collection. The event itself was amazing - I'd battled freezing windy rain and passed the outdoor ice rink at Sommerset House to get there but stepping through that door was amazing! The effort the Boden team had gone to to set the theme was fantastic and exciting - it was warm and cozy and felt summery! There was an ice cream cart, real sand, deck chairs, candy floss, lemonade, a boat and the most amazing bursts of colour everywhere! I forgot how cold and wet I was just a few moments earlier (but my frizz ball hair didn't)!

I always intended to post about the collection sooner but with everything that's happened since then to now, it just felt that now is the right time to talk about it! You see it's now almost spring 2014, it's still miserable outside but we're all itching for pops of spring colours and Boden are starting to sell the collection - like hot cakes! and these clothes are happy clothes!

I'll start with the kids! Here are my fave spots from Mini Boden, Girls, Boys and Johnnie B

I fell in love with the Donkey on the baby girl dress! Isn't he adorable! I have to get him for my daughter!

I love the little spring chicks on the woollen dress and the birdie print - with matching knickers.

This little knitted jumper with sailboat appliqué is so snugly and I love the details in the crab and sea dog tee's I need all three for my little boy!

Anchors Away! and Attention!

Beautiful floral playsuit

Detailed prints - space invaders!

Love this bright red flower pattern

Amazing sailboat full of fish sat in the middle of the Mini Boden room!

Wonderfully bright prints everywhere!

And onto the ladies -  I'd really like the French knot jumper (Mega hint to the husband!) I think it's perfect and I spotted it in two colours Navy and Yellow - I can't decide which I need first! 

Adorable cardigan to go with everything! - note the bag - love it!

The perfect summer white dress ... look out for it in yellow!

I have to have this sun dress, Nancy - I love the seaside print.

This has to be the ultimate polka dot weekend dress

Happy Happy flats!

The embroidery details on this dress are superb!

See! I told you it came in yellow too!

I'll take one of everything please!

Oh and one of everything in pastel too please :-)

Ooooh Lime!

All these photos were taken on my ipad ... if I'm lucky enough to be invited to the next one - I'll have a digital SLR to take with me!

Happy spring shopping everyone - I hope you like my favourite spots from the SS14 press day!
