Spring/Summer Preview: Debenhams

This week, we’ve had a sneak peek at the gorgeous new season range from Debenhams, and being the kind generous people we are, we thought we’d share a little glimpse with you.

From tropical bright maxi dresses to cute shorts for sightseeing, Debenhams is definitely going to be top of our holiday list this summer. Our favourite item of the new range? It has to be  the J by Jasper Conran Grecian Dress, which looks so designer, yet comes with the very purse-friendly price tag of £60.

Jill Sander’s New Season at UNIQLO

+J, the new fashion collection, designed by Jil Sander for Uniqlo, was so successful when it was first released in October 2009, that it’s back for a brand new season.

The Spring/Summer 2010 Collection launches in the UK on 7 January 2010. The new collection launches in 4 stores in London, including Westfield London, and will also be available online – which is great for those of us who can’t get to the big smoke.

This season introduces fresh perspectives on volume, teamed with perfect harmony in fibre, colour, optics, and touch. The collection, which contains pastel hues, pearly reflections, and chalked out acids, is the perfect post-Christmas boost, with prices starting at the very reasonable £12.99.

So when you’re out and about (or in and online) and shopping for those post-Christmas bargains, don’t forget to check out +J at Uniqlo for great designer clothes at high street prices.

The Best Of The Sales: Must-Have Accessories

Oh there’s so much beautiful sales bounty out there, that we’ve trawled through the tat and found our must-have top five accessory bargains. See you in the queue!

First up is this sparkling statement necklace from Debenhams by Erickson Beamon from the Designers At Debenhams range. It’s perfect for blinging up your NYE outfit and now it’s reduced from £20 to £14, it won’t break the bank either!

If you haven’t already brought your winter woolies, the sale is the perfect time to splurge. The sequins on this Topshop beret elevate it to more than just a woollie hat – snap it up  now for just £10.
If you’re a designer diva, now is definitely the time to bag yourself a bargain. We’ve got our eye on this gorgeous Marc by Marc Jacobs bangle watch from House Of Fraser. It’s seriously stylish and has now been reduced from £137 to £109.
Scarves are a great way to update a boring old oufit and they don’t get much more glam than this sequin number from Dorothy Perkins, reduced from £15 to £10.
Inject a touch of vintage style into your wardrobe with this glass tassel belt from Monsoon, which has been reduced by 50% to a bargain £10.

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.

Kane-ing The Credit Card

We’ve been counting down the days until today – 18th September. Yes, it’s the start of London Fashion Week  but more importantly today is Kane Day – the day Christopher Kane’s fabulous new range hits Topshop.

Christopher is truly one of the most creative minds in fashion today and his 3rd range with Topshop is one of his best – and largest . It’s tough, sexy and most importantly oh-so-wearable. Sexy studding, high heels and bandage dresses – these are clothes for girls who want to get noticed. Our problem now is deciding what to splash the cash on, although this eyelet dress is calling our name with its  girly sweetness and tough embellishment.

Christopher is showing at London Fashion Week on 21st September and we can’t wait to see his Spring/Summer 10 collection, however, we’re really grateful that this is one designer who understands that not everyone has the cash to splash on his designer range – although we think our bank manager might disagree after seeing today’s splurge!
