By Rochelle Symons in Clothing at Tesco loves on Friday 26th March, 2010

If you haven’t heard about the blog What Katie Wore, then where have you been? The concept behind it is fantastic! Katie has to wear a different outfit every day and her boyfriend Joe diarizes her different looks throughout the year. It is a great source of fashion inspiration, good if you’re looking to shake up your style or just to have a good nosey at what Katie is wearing!

Here are a couple of our favourite looks from Katie … (there are so many that is was honestly hard to choose):

Katie’s day off

Lucky Katie had a day off after Mother’s Day, which she spent pottering around London. Love her matching jacket and bag!

Katie does print

Prints are set to be a big trend this summer, check out her leopard print jacket, meow!

Katie on holiday

Another big trend for summer florals! We are a big fan of floral sun dresses, how about you?

Trend Alert – Rock Chick

By Jill Marshall in Trends, Womenswear on Wednesday 24th March, 2010

Everyone has a bit of a dark side, and in fashion this seems to be epitomised in the ever evolving rock chick trend. Good girls go bad with dark colours and studded details, sweet dresses get a sexy kick with studded belts and shoes.

If you need some celebrity inspiration, think Kate Moss, or The Twilight star, Kristen Stewart.

We have seen this look before, but this time it’s got a lot more studded detail, and more added sparkle. The focus is on “edging” up a classic girly look. Are pink high heels rock n roll? With studs on they are!

The rock chick look requires only one or two pieces to give your outfit an edge and it works really well with other big trends this year such as lace and floral’s. This season, why not combine a studded belt or scarf with a sweet floral dress? Or team up some lace leggings with some studded shoe boots? We have some great rock chick pieces to slot into your everyday wardrobe online, so have a browse.

And remember, however you choose to express your inner rock chick, there is only one accessory you will always need…attitude!

Fashion Editor Picks from Sugar and Glamour Magazine

By Clothing at Tesco PR Team in Behind the scenes, Womenswear on Tuesday 23rd March, 2010

With our High Summer Press Preview ending last week, we had lots of feedback on the range and wanted to share it with you. Today we have the hot picks from Lucy at Glamour magazine and Jo from Sugar magazine:

Lucy Walker, Fashion Assistant for Glamour – “I love the jelly sandals-and the bargain price!”

Jo Sawkins, Fashion Editor for Sugar – “The bikinis are my favourite, especially the flamingo print and denim bikini – a great twist on the denim trend.”

What do you think? Will you be wearing any of these on your holiday this year?

Portobello Road Street Style

By Jennifer Barton in Street Style on Monday 22nd March, 2010

If you’re in need of some stylish inspiration, look no further than London’s Portobello Road. Not only are there amazing vintage finds and jewellery stalls every few steps, but the fashion parade of stylish Londoners makes for a fabulous afternoon of people-watching and trend-spotting.

The cute girls shopping and browsing this afternoon had on lots of spring’s key trends like floral prints, lace and rock-chick style, seen on everything from studded accessories to tough-looking boots and jackets. We love how these girls put their individual spin on the trends – adding a burst of colour to an all-black outfit with a scarf or toughening up funky florals with a leather bomber (or giving them a preppy edge with a hunting jacket). Not even the occasional drizzle of rain could stand in their way!

Maybe we’ll snap a shot of you next time we’re in the neighbourhood…until then, happy shopping!
