Shopping in London: Emma Cook Sample Sale

If you like your clothes feminine with a distinct quirk (like say, deer and lace doilie prints), then you might like to check out Emma Cook, who just happens to be having a sample sale at her East London studio on Friday and Saturday. All sorts of bargains are up for grabs!

In the meantime, have a peek at Cook's resort 2010 collection, which is in-store now and features her signature girlish silhouettes against a soft palette of dusky pinks, browns and greys. Quite loving the flattering empire-line jersey dresses and silk chiffon tops, as well as the symmetrical art-nouveau motif, which is repeated throughout the collection. It's currently available from Liberty and Matches in London.

Top Bird - thanks for that! mmm Anglomania on the cheap! I gave up at A McQueen too - queued for two hours (although I got there before it opened!) and they said I was still at least an hour from getting in! Boss wasn't too happy with my extended break!
