Gingham is something that most British girls have worn at least once in their lifetimes. From the 1900s onwards, Gingham was commonly used as a material for young girls' dresses and school uniforms. I can remember absolutely loving my school summer dresses, I had both Blue Gingham and Red Gingham Summer dresses and I adored them all so much. Gingham frilled socks, gingham scrunchy hair bands, gingham dresses and gingham ribbon - Summer school uniform was mainly gingham! As I grew up, I dismissed gingham as it just reminded me of school uniform, but in recent years, gingham is becoming a trend and a trend that I for one am absolutely besotted with.

Mother's Day is a very special day of the year indeed. It's a day to show how much you appreciate your mother, nan or somebody who may be like a mum to you!

Myself and my mum, you may know her as 'Mummy Quirk', are incredibly close - we always have been. We get on so well and in many ways, we are more like best friends rather than mother and daughter. My mum actually helped me put this gift idea post together as I thought it would be nice to get her take on what she'd like for this special day and also what other mothers may want or appreciate receiving this year.

Moschino HAS to be my favourite label in existence. Moschino is constantly fun, fresh and innovative. Jeremy Scott never fails to amaze me, stun me and persuade me to want everything from his capsule collections. In previous years at Milan Fashion Week, we have seen collections (since 2013 when Jeremy Scott become the Creative Director for Moschino) incorporating Barbie, McDonalds, Road Signs and Bears.. but for FW17 Rat is the word..
