Spring shopping with a floral focus from style guru Donna Laine
Heaven scent
We love perfume with a floral note . Pop into H & B Style on St Thomas Street and treat yourself to a new scent for Spring . They stock Ampersand fragrances – all cruelty free , ethically sourced , vegan-friendly and made in England . Try California with its fresh , citrussy tones or Capri with a fragrant blend of jasmine , rose and sandalwood .

Spring at your fingertips
Bring a bit of sunshine to your day with Rimmel ’ s 60 Seconds Super Shine nail polish in a range of vibrant floral colours . Go for a cheery yellow in a shade called Chin Up , Buttercup . Or splash out on Violet en Vogue , Funtime Fuchsia or Rose Libertine . A full range of colours is available from Boots on High Street (£ 3.99 ).
Spring inspired
Artists and craftsmen have always looked to nature for inspiration . Whether they ’ re using precious stones or designing costume jewellery , makers have drawn on the form , pattern and colour of plants , flowers and insects . Visit our shop to see a selection of pretty flower-inspired jewellery or our range of lovely Lucky Bee pendants and hoop earrings in solid sterling silver .

Visiting friends and family over Easter ? Head down to David ’ s Original Flower Stall opposite Marks & Spencer and take them some flowers from his unrivalled choice of seasonal blooms . We particularly like his dazzling array of tulips in a rainbow of colours .
