The Very Simon G’s Top Ten Picks

By Simon G in Top Picks, Trends, Womenswear on Tuesday 6th July, 2010

Shopping in Tesco a couple of weeks back with my mother for the usual groceries, you know like lovely juicy apples, some milk, my trusty Quorn fix, I was momentarily mesmerized by the chicest little floral shift dress. I pulled my mum over to the clothes section and started to fling pieces at her, ‘try this on with this and this with this’. She bought everything. Literally everything. Five dresses, two cardigans, three vests. In fact she called her friend to rush down so I could dress her for a wedding she had. I put her in the most amazing pearl embellished dress and nude heels, all for less than £40. Needless to say, I’m loving the clothes at Tesco at the moment, and you should too! Look what I’ve found…

1. Leopard print is NEVER going out of fashion with this fun yet elegant strappy dress. Bringing the LBD to life! £18

Wedding Fashion

By Rochelle Symons in Get the look, Womenswear on Monday 17th May, 2010

Summer is here (well sort of), and wedding season is now truly upon us! We know how much of a difficult task it is to find the right dress for a wedding, whilst not wanting to upstage the bride. So we have put together a list of dresses that are perfect for summer weddings to give you some inspiration.

One of the main rules at a wedding is not to wear white, there are plenty of other colours to choose from! It is also best to steer clear of anything too sparkly for a day wedding, save the sparkles for the evening ‘do’.

Firstly, lets look at a day wedding. Here are two dresses, the first one is a bit more casual, but would look lovely dressed up with heels. The second dress is for a more formal wedding, both have quite graphic prints, and will dazzle in the sunshine!

Another tip for weddings is only wear black for an evening wedding. This outfit comes from our True range, and includes a flattering top with a pencil skirt. Brighten it up with some bold jewellery or statement heels and you are good to go!

For evening weddings, we have picked two dresses. The first one is for a more formal event, while the second one can be dressed up or down, depending on your accessories.

Lastly, if your there all day straight through until the evening these two lovely dresses are perfect! Both in the hottest shade of the season – pastel. The cut is timeless, team with a blazer and hat for during the day, then take them off in the evening for the party.
