Flamingos forever



You've always wanted one (even if you didn't know it) and now you can get your mitts on that flamingo garden ornament you've always dreamt of. I'm not sure where this recent fascination with flamingos has come from, but they are everywhere. The first flamingo I remember coveting for the home was a Cole & Son wallpaper a couple of years that is now so famous, but was too expensive for my purse. So maybe we have Cole & Son to thank for this recent feathered trend gathering speed.




Debenhams have recently collaborated with interior designer Abigail Ahern, known for her quirky, witty and eclectic taste to bring us an affordable yet dare I say it 'trendy' homeware range reminiscent of the slightly costlier Graham and Greene stuff. And of course Flamingos feature shown here in this brightly coloured cushion perfect for adding a colour injection. 


Or how about this brilliant lampshade to perk up an otherwise dull lamp stand. 




Clothes haven't escaped the Flamingo effect either, and this dress from Topshop is a tropical  delight. 






If you don't fancy donning your home or your body with this stand-on-one-leg-for-some-unknown-reason bird, but love Flamingos, then why not treat yourself to this fab wallet.  




Love or loathe Flamingos? Will you be making a pink feathered purchase?
