Flying the Flag...

It seems everywhere you look at the moment everyone is proud to be British, despite England crashing out of Euro 2012 yesterday people are still proud of the Red, White and Blue. Even with Wimbledon kicking off this week it seems the Brits have even adopted Andy Murray as one of their own. This year we have been more patriotic than usual and of course we had the Queen's diamond Jubilee and we're also going to be hosting the Olympics in a few weeks time. But it's not only the nation that gone British flag crazy it seems the fashion world has too. Even Vivienne Westwood decided to take a flag wrap it around a mannequin and create this stunning dress.

Now if your off to a festival this Summer and you don't want to miss out on showing your true colours these hunters wellies are perfect. They will keep you looking cool when ur up to your ankles in mud as well as showing how much you love your country. Just another way in which the fashion community is turning Red, White and Blue into cash. This Moschino dress is the perfect way to show your love of the Brits and their quirky sense of style. But be careful at the bus stop with London being a lot busier than usual this Summer people might try and catch you. Form a n orderly queue boys!!!

Now British Designers are bound to show their love of the Union Jack and Alexander McQueen is no different as if being on speed dial for the royals wasn't enough. They have also launched a range of clutch bags highlighting all that's great about Great Britain. You would be mad not to get your hand on one of these designs. It will still be a cool now as it will be for the next jubilee. I love the Alexander Mcqueen trademark skull it definately makes it more special.


Finally Stella McCartney has designed the Team GB kit for the Olympics and I have to voice just one rather large concern. Where is the Red from this patriotic kit? Not to mention the fact that it wasn't even manufactured in the UK, that doesn't really show our true love of all that is Brilliant about Britain. If you love the Union Jack as much as we do, grab yourself a accessory that will show your love for this fair isle and remind you we may be small butwe're still great!!!
