Flamingotherapy - Colourful Casual Clothing That Makes You Feel Good.
Walking through the fantastic stalls at Spitalfields I was greeted by a very friendly lady by the name of Ilaria. She was very passionate about her collections and she explained to me why she loved them so much. She has always loved experimenting with colours and different types of materials. Her infectious Mediterranean  personality was a draw card of her store. I loved her clothes and the way she explained how you could wear them. Her website showcases what she has to offer in a very colourful and enticing way. I would highly recommend heading down to Spitalfields on a Sunday to have a look and I’m sure you’ll just have to purchase something.
