20.10.2011- First Look: Versace for H&M

With exactly a month to go until the Versace for H&M collection is available to buy (or indeed, fight for!) in store and online, it's time to get organised and draw up a shopping list. The first images of the collection were released this morning, and here are some of my favourite pieces so far:

Silk Dress, £129.99.

Bag, £69.99.

Necklace, £14.99.

Silk Dress, £129.99.

Although my aversion to camping means I probably won't get my hands on anything from the collection, I do love the vibrant colours and signature Versace details. You can view the whole collection (which is in stores on November 17th) at vogue.co.uk.

What do you think of H&M's collaboration with Versace? Are you hoping to buy anything from the collection?

11.10.2011- Cheap Frills

Anyone who knows me will tell you without hesitation that I'm an absolute jewellery magpie, so you can imagine how excited I was when the lovely Georgia from Cheap Frills got in touch to tell me all about their recently launched range of handmade, vintage inspired pieces. If you love your jewellery a little bit different, oh so cute and beautifully crafted, then the Cheap Frills online store is definitely the right place for you. Here are some of my favourite pieces:

Fantastic Fox Necklace, £12

Cat Ears Ring, £6

Bird & Pearl Necklace, £8

Pearly Queen Bee Ring, £6

As a lifelong cat person (and not in a mad cat woman way, I hasten to add!), I'm absolutely in love with the Cat Ears Ring. I love how unique each of the designs is, and the fact that each piece is so affordable is fantastic. I can't wait to see what else Cheap Frills have got up their talented sleeves for the future!

20.06.2011- Monday Must-haves: Net-A-Porter Sale Special

Monday again! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and that the start to the week hasn't been too bad. I was up early this morning to secure some tickets to the very exciting Yohji Yamamoto Fashion in Motion event which is happening at the V&A next week, and have just got home from catching up with my lovely friends over noodles and frozen yogurt galore. And, as if that wasn't enough excitement for one day, this morning saw the start of the Net-A-Porter sale, which has provided me with plenty of fantasy must-haves to be getting on with for the week:

In spite of the fact that all my picks for this week have been discounted, everything I've featured is still very much out of my price range, but I suppose there's no harm in window shopping! I love the Burberry trench, a truly iconic piece which will remain timeless in any wardrobe. We all know how prone I am to lusting after anything by Mulberry, whether it be this Cory tote or beautiful printed scarf, and the sequinned tee is stunning (if still equivalent to the price of a very good holiday!) I love the colour of this Marc Jacobs brocade shift dress, and think that the DKNY sandals are a perfect summer staple. And I couldn't resist this cute little necklace from Marc by Marc Jacobs, so charming!

Have you picked up anything in the sales so far? And what do you think of my choices for this week?

06.02.2011- The Salon at ASOS

When the March edition of ASOS magazine landed on my doorstep last week, I instantly fell in love with their new capsule collection, The Salon, which 'draws inspiration from a treasure trove of vintage finds'.

(Warning: The following images may result in a serious case of frock lust!)

I love everything from the couture inspired detailing (the flowers on the bodice of the first dress just scream Valentino) to the classic shapes and muted colours. If you've got a summer party/birthday/wedding/graduation/christening or other miscellaneous celebration coming up, any one of these beautiful dresses would be perfect. They are set to land on asos.com next month.

What do you think of The Salon collection? Do you have any favourite pieces?

14.10.2010- From the people who bought you Fashion's Night Out...

...comes Fashion's Night In! My friends and I had a brilliant time at Fashion's Night Out here in London last month, and, as a celebration of all the online retailers who couldn't get involved on the night itself, Vogue has launched Fashion's Night In, which aims to bring us the best that online fashion has to offer. The aim is still the same- to raise money for the fantastic Kids Company, but instead of pounding the pavements, you can get involved from the comfort of your desk. The online event will be offering designer collaborations, styling advice, collection launches, goodie bags and competitions. Things will be kicking off on Monday November 1st from 5pm (GMT), and here are some of the events which have already been announced:

With more events to be confirmed in the run up to November 1st, be sure to keep checking the Fashion's Night In website for the latest information. I can't wait!

What do you think of the Fashion's Night In idea? Are you looking forward to it?
