Cute and girly, these shorts from Topshop Unqiue is a star buy.

Wasn’t the weather beautiful today? I spent most of the day daydreaming about the summer, keeping a lookout for cute bikinis online and fighting the urge to go outside and read in the garden when I should have been doing my university courswork – and then I came in here and wrote this.

Today’s blue skies and warm breeze was a pleasant reminder that winter is over - bring on the spring and all that it entails. In fashion terms that entails lightweight fabrics, pretty prints and baring your legs – and there’s no better way to do that than with a cute, femininely cut pair of shorts to show off your (fake-tanned) pins.

The great thing about this year’s spring/summer trends is that absolutely anything goes. You want delicate prints as seen at Miu Miu, or sizzlingly bright block colours a la Jil Sander? There’s a pair out there at the moment on the high street to suit absolutely everyone. Pick out a pair of our top 10 spring shorts in the gallery above, pair them up with a little top and some cool wedges and voila! Your new favourite spring outfit, without even having to try too hard. Aren’t we good to you?

Fashion Crush: Blue Rose Jacquared Hoodie

By Andrea Petrou on October 22nd, 2010

I don’t know about you but I always freeze at this time of year, and it doesn’t help that I have a temperamental heating system either. Like many of you after been smart and in heels all day all I want to do is stick on a hoodie to keep myself warm when I get home.

However, being a little bit too obsessed with fashion, I can’t quite bring myself to throw on an old one lurking in the back of my wardrobe… after all you never know who’s going to pop in.

Thankfully, Miss Selfridge seems to have read my mind and has designed a cute jacquared rose hoodie meaning I’ll stay bang on-trend as well as keeping warm. And it carries on the fashion love with the cute puff sleeves and pockets.

A perfect way to keep warm and stay cool.

Fashion Crush: Red vintage style dress from Miss Selfridge

By admin on August 19th, 2010

We’re flitting in and out of seasons with our fashion crush posts this week and today we’re back in our AW 2010 mode. After all, who can resist this cute frock from Miss Selfridge?

The dress looks like an authentic vintage number with the 50s bow and cut, and the sleeves are perfect for those winter nights.
Wear it to a late summer BBQ, on a night out with Mary Jane or platform heels, or store in your wardrobe for those windy autumn days.
However, don’t wait too long to snap this up, at £28 we have a feeling it’ll be flying off those rails.

Trend Alert: Beach Bikinis

By Andrea Petrou on June 2nd, 2010

The sun is shining and many of you are probably counting down to that summer beach holiday.

And with the spring/summer season fashion in full flow there’s a huge amount of swimwear out there to suit all kind of shapes.

Many stores such as Miss Selfridge and Oasis also offer separates for ladies with smaller or bigger upper halves and Ultimo is also a great place for those out there that have been blessed with bigger busts. On the other end of the spectrum some highstreet stores also cater for sporty type figures offering padded cups and different tops to really enhance what we’ve been blessed with.

And there’s also great alternatives for those who don’t feel comfortable in flashing their tum or who aren’t too keen on wearing briefs.

Over the next few weeks we’ll be bringing you different ranges for different figures and tastes but to kick start the swimwear style we’ve put together a gallery of on-trend bikinis so you can really make an entrance to the pool or the beach.

Fashion Crush: Miss Selfridge Rosemary Floral Maxi Dress

By Andrea Petrou on May 25th, 2010

Maxi dresses are going to be as hot as our predicted summer this season, with many celebs channelling this trend already.

The best thing about a maxi dress is that it can be worn on nearly every occasion from work, to a bar to a summer BBQ. All you need to do is make sure toy have the right accessories and shoes to tone it up or down accordingly.

If you’re a taller than average lady Long Tall Sally and Miss Sixty are perfect places to look, while petite sections in highstreet stores are perfect for smaller girls.

However, this Rosemary Floral Maxi dress from Miss Selfridge is perfect for those of avarage height. We love it because it’s got a slight Cath Kidston feel to it as well as giving a nod to the boho look. Wear to a pub or swing it delicately over your legs for a picnic in the park. And you can’t grumble at the £25 price tag either.

Floral Bow Print skirt £29 Miss Selfridge-400.jpg

We’ve done a shorts gallery to celebrate summer’s arrival this weekend, however we know some of you will be more prone to a skirt, especially if you intend to make the most of this weekend’s summer nights.

While we were on our shorts search we stumbled upon this gorgeous floral bow skirt from Miss Selfridge, which gives a huge nod to the floral trend and is also perfect teamed up with a pair of wedges or gladiator style heels for a night out.

Tuck in a black or hot pink vest top or tee and you’re all set to party.

We think it’s a summer steal for £28 too.

Gallery: World Cup fashion to support England in style

By Andrea Petrou on May 12th, 2010

Love it or loathe it you can’t hide from the fact that the World Cup is upon us. We know we’re going to lose our other halves to beer, England and Brazil, but instead of sulking in the corner it may be time we actually thought about joining in.

Now we’re not talking about getting all lager loutish, more having a good look at players and using it as an excuse to get some new clothes.

Over the past few months highstreet chains such as Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge as well as supermarkets such as Asda have gone World Cup crazy producing t-shirts with England logos.

However unlike the older styles from four years back, these World Cup gems have become alot less subtle, huge England flags sprawled along the front have given way to subtle England motifs on on-trend styles.

We have a look at the best ones out there.

Christmas party outfits: Tops

By lotte on November 27th, 2009

The top is the unsung hero of the party outfit. While dresses and shoes get all the attention, tops are working just as hard to make you look good this Christmas, so we’ve put together this gallery of party-ready tops.

Buying one party top means you can rewear it in loads of different ways without losing the impact. They’re also a good and usually cheap way to update your wardrobe, without having to buy a whole new outfit. As always, sequins, lace and classic (but dramatic) black are things to look out for, and try pairing these tops with miniskirts, leggings or jeans – the possibilities are almost endless.

Gallery: Strictly Come Dancing-inspired clothes for the party season

By lotte on November 6th, 2009

Some watch Strictly for the dance moves – and some watch it for the dresses. We probably watch it for both, but the dresses are pretty spectacular. Custom made and often in eye-popping bright colours, each dress worn by the female dancers is sold after the series for up to £1,600. If you fancy wowing fellow party-goers in the upcoming Christmas party season why not take some inspiration from the series.

Look out for features like cut-outs, full skirts, asymmetry, corsages, feathers and sequins, just not all at once. We’ve put together a gallery of the whole range of looks, from full-on glamour to slightly more toned-down styles.
