Bloggers Love Bambi

The Walt Disney motion picture “Bambi” has more than earned its place as a classic. Originally released in Great Britain on the 9^th August in 1942, the film is still popular today and has been repeatedly hailed as one of the top children’s movies of all time. The tale of a young deer making his way through life without his mother is endearing and sweet, as the young fawn learns fast with a little help the adorable friends he meets along the way.

This season we paid homage to the wide-eyed little deer by including a charming illustrated print on a versatile grey fabric featuring monochrome fawns prancing about and nibbling pink grass within our collection. The two Bambi garments we created are the skater dress for £35 and the midi skirt for just £25. Both are made of 100% cotton and are currently still in stock in every size on our website.

Now here’s where we’d normally recommend that you style either piece with cosy sweaters, your favourite pair of boots, thick tights and knit accessories for these cold Winter days. If you were off on a night out, we’d advise keeping it simple by tucking in a black top of your choice (if you opt for the skirt) and teaming with a glossy patent belt and impressive heels. However, as our Bambi inspired items have proved such a hit with some of our favourite fashion bloggers, we thought you would let their ensembles do the talking, and provide you with some inspiration.

Looking for John Green

Few authors are both fortunate, and talented, enough to gain an impressively loyal following and the attention of the mass media.  When I could no longer ignore the relentless posts of John Green's creations on my Tumblr feed I decided that it was time I explored some of the bestsellers work to make my own judgement.  Sadly, I am often left thoroughly disappointed by the works of fiction that cause waves of recommendations throughout the masses, and so I decided to request a selection of Green's novels via my local library, reluctant to part with hard earned cash.

My fears were unfounded.  John Green is a fantastic writer.  His books may be classified as 'Young Adult' fiction but they should in no way be restricted by this category.  What I found most impressive about the author's work is his ability to fabricate characters so convincing that he creates the illusion that the reader could know them personally.

Initially I read 'Paper Towns', followed shortly by 'Looking for Alaska'.  I am unsure whether these would be the two that I would select as my favourites because they are superior, or simply because I was so fascinated with discovering such a literary talent.  If pushed, I would suggest that the two works of fiction shared a greater degree of adventure and depth of characters - hence my preference.

'An Abundance of Katherines' was the third of Green's books that I managed to get hold of.  Though I felt it didn't quite match my expectations set by the other novels, I would like to impress the opinion that it is most definitely an enjoyable and worthy read.
    

I could not wait any longer for 'The Fault in Our Stars', Green's most popular creation; instead paying a visit to Waterstones to purchase the appealing, bright blue paperback.  Now, I feel I need to state that I am not typically one to shed tears.  I can think of only three films and perhaps two books that have reduced me to waterworks previously.  This book felt like it broke my heart.  Whatever John Green does to produce these tales, I would like to know.  If I can one day create just one work of fiction as fantastic as these I will be more than happy, (however his hyperactive 'vlogging' activities,  I would admittedly prefer to avoid.)  

Happy reading!
