stars and stripes

For the last few years the american flag has been associated with war, ridiculous bigoted protests and a certain beady eyed balding texan with a penchant for badly written speeches....

However, Americana and the American dream have swiftly recooperated (maybe due to that babe in the White House)- and the stars and stripes have become a whole new level of cool.

I am loving the American inspired prints and college-esque slogans. And am on a continuous hunt for them for my store Lola Vintage (will be back up and running soon!!!), and ofcourse myself. I am loving the topshop denim shorts (as shown below)- although, am currently working towards a bod like that..

Cover me in stars and stripes - lets be a little bit patriotic ;)(well patriotic from the other side of the world)
