Happy Birthday Atterley Road

One of my favourite online discoveries of the past year has been Atterley Road. The site has a great edit of both premium high street and boutique labels, including Whistles, Petit Bateau and Ganni. The aim of the site is to offer the experience of shopping on your favourite street, but online.

They say time flies when you are trying to be stylish (or something like that!) , so I couldn't believe that the store's first birthday had come around so quickly. To celebrate its first year, Atterley Road is turning the usual birthday logic on its head and offering its customers something special. Here are the giveaways which will be running over the next fortnight:

• June 7th – 9th - Win a £1,000 summer wardrobe from Atterley Road
• June 10th - Will Torrent signed book and a Pampered Chef hamper of goodies
• June 11th - Win a Petit Bateau outfit & preview copy of special edition vintage archive book 
• June 12th - An Allium B liberty print dress and flowers for 6 months from Wild at Heart  
• June 13th - A personalised Zatchels with customised finishings/leather and monogrammed initials 
•  June 14th-16th - £1,000 summer wardrobe at www.atterleyroad.com

 So if you are feeling lucky, and in need of a style boost, take a trip to Atterley Road. You won't regret it!

8 of the best: Breton tops

When it comes to classic fail-safe fashion pieces, you can't go wrong with a Breton stripe top. Breton stripe tops have been a style staple ever since Coco Chanel first made them fashionable. They are really versatile and can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. They have become a bit of a go-to piece for me, which I often pair with a statement necklace to give a different feel to the look.

I have been looking to add some more to my closet, so thought that I'd share some of my finds. Although I tend to opt for the classic navy and white breton tops, I couldn't resist the Maison Scotch neon pink stripe for Summer. I really like the tops which have opted for a twist on the usual look, e.g. the Maison Scotch colourblock top or the Boutique by Jaeger Breton with broderie anglaise inserts.

Clockwise from top left: 5Preview - £85 ; Whistles - £55 ; Boutique by Jaeger with broderie anglaise inserts - £40 ; Gap black and mint stripe - £13.99

Clockwise from top left: Maison Scotch neon pink stripe - £39 ; Maison Scotch colourblock - £55 ; Saint James - £55 ; Chinti and Parker organic cotton - £85
