M&S – Limited Collection – Snake Print Dress – Tribal Trend
Apr 14, 2009 fashion, marks and spencer
M&S continue to be on-the-up, creating another season of beautifully designed clothes and accessories that surpass the last seasons wonderful range; I love, in particular, the M&S Limited Collection which is full of forward thinking designs heavily influenced by catwalk trends.
A particularly wonderful on-trend item is this tribal inspired, snake print Pleated Front Tunic, which could also serve as a short shift dress. I adore the way M&S have mixed a formal silky material with casual over-sized pockets, making this dress suitable for both smart wear and dressed down days!
Team with a pair of platform gladiators – either bare legged for a night out or over leggings for day-wear chic. If you’re looking to channel the tribal trend – add some carefully selected jewellery – a pair of ethnic-esque statement earrings would do nicely.

Miss Selfridge – SS09 – Ditsy Print Floral Dress
Apr 7, 2009 fashion, Miss Selfridge
Miss Selfridge has just dropped its new stock and I’m loving this Blue Rose Print Prom Dress!
The High St is awash with Cath Kidston-esque floral prints and this Miss Selfridge number, priced at a very reasonable £40 is my pick of the bunch. It’s very Darling Buds without screaming twee, mainly due to its synched in waist and tiered skirt – both adding some sex kitten appeal to this flowery stunner.
This Miss Selfridge floral dress can be adapted to suit a plethora of styles; team with an 1970′s oversized floppy hat and gladiator sandles for Sienna Millers boho look ( a trend that’s been re-ignited for 09) or match it up with a an oversized cardy, skinny belt and platform sandals for a ‘homage’ to Kelly Brook.
Head to Miss Selfridge for this SS09 must-have floral dress!

Elizabeth and James – Nude – Pink Kimono Crepe Dress – Olsen Twins
Apr 3, 2009 fashion, my wardrobe
Every year, when the Oscars hit our screens, I wait with bated breath to see what the ‘tone’ of the forthcoming Spring/Summer season of fashion will be. You can literally guarantee, that most mainstream actresses (those who are dressed by stylists) will all be wearing a similar shape or colour that will heavily infiltrate the high street.
This year it was nude tones that dominated the red carpet and our high street is now awash with various shades of this flattering trend. My current high street fav is this Autograph Occasions Sleeveless Fan Detail Dress from Marks and Spencer. In a barely there shade and with its pleat detailed neckline, this structured stunner ticks all the summer trend boxes and is a very reasonable £55!
If you’ve a little more to spend, then head over to the Elizabeth and James collection at My-Wardrobe. Elizabeth and James is a collection designed by the Olsen twins – who themselves are huge fashion icons (stateside at least). Personally, I think their collection echoes their personal styles – eclectic, yet effortless – and none more so than this gorgeous and oh so easy-to-wear Pink Kimono Crepe Dress! Its hint of pink nude tone would suit most skin tones, whilst the casual cut and sleeves flatter and hide a multitude of sins. Its a My-wardrobe must-have!
