Ooo, we’ve been waiting for this day since June, when we first heard that luxury accessories brand Jimmy Choo were teaming up with one of our high street faves, H&M. Well that day is almost here! On Saturday 14th November, the new range will be sold in 200 stores worldwide – and what a fabulous range it is!
Featuring key animal prints often seen in the high end Jimmy Choo line, the prices thankfully are more affordable. The collection doesn’t only include shoes and bags either – we love this suede fringed dress (£49.99) and this beautiful beaded dress (£99.99), which is just perfect for Christmas parties! And all you stylish men out there, will be pleased to know that it’s not just for ladies – the range includes some great menswear – like this leather jacket at £179.99.
If you’re planning on snapping up some of this limited edition range, we say be quick and get queuing early on Saturday morning! In the meantime, we’ve selected some of our other favourite key pieces from the range to get your fashion tastebuds salivating…
L-R: Leopard print bag, £79,99; Zebra print shoes £79.99; Zebra print purse, £69.99, Snakeskin shoes, £99.99; Metallic blue heels, £79.99; Leather studded cuff, £24.99

‘Tis the season to be scary with Halloween just around the corner. As a nation, we’re spending more on Halloween than ever before and the shops haven’t been slow to cotton on. From pumpkin outfits for newborn babies to skeleton earrings for the grown ups, Halloween has never been so fashionable. Or has it?
A quick look around some of our favourite high street retailers showed that everyone from M&S to Topshop are providing Halloween related products, whether it’s full on costumes or gothic accessories. Take a look below at some of the fun (or hideous, depending on your view!) products we found on the hight street.
Skull Tee, £10 (New Look for Men); Leopard Ears, £4 (Topshop); Flashing skull brooch, £4 (Accessorize); Pumpkin bag, £3.50 (M&S); Wendy Witch Earrings, £3 (Accessorize)
We think that Halloween is a bit of fun and that it’s the one holiday where being fashionable goes out of the window, however, we’ll be sticking to kitsch skulls and cute ears, after all if rabbit ears were good enough for Louis Vuitton this season, then they’re good enough for us!
If you’re doing a full costume, try to avoid the sexy witch/vampire/werewolf option and go for full on comedy fun. Or you could be like one member of our team who dressed up as The Devil Wears Prada one year – her costume comprised of leopard print horns, a large Prada shirt worn as a dress and huge big sunnies. Stylish and fun – we love!

Gant is celebrating 60 successful years in fashion this autumn and to celebrate this landmark birthday, the label has designed an exclusive range of luxury shirting for men and women.
Revisiting its West Coast heritage, the limited edition capsule range is made up of four women’s shirts and six men’s shirts, with a representative style from each decade the brand has been around. The shirts retail from between £99-£189.
Aside from each shirt being made from a gorgeous blend of cashmere and Sea Island cotton, these shirts are uber-wearable, with classic patterns being given an oh-so-chic vintage spin.
Boys, if you’re planning on snapping up one of these beauties, be careful that your girlfriend doesn’t steal it for herself – after all boyfriend shirts are all the rage, especially when they look as good as this. We just hope we’re as stylish as this when we’re 60!

William’s show contained lots of amazing looks for the boys but if the wild and wonderful isn’t for you, invest instead in a classic suit.
‘Style is personal and fashion is expression. The classic suit is always a winner for any man. Mix it up, add a dash of personality, make it live!’ says Will.
We love this look that he styled for our limited edition look book, which gives an urban twist to the old suit and tie combination.
The suit, tie and shirt are all available to buy from Pal Zaleri, while the scarf is from River Island. Remember boys, suits needn’t be dull!
