Circus is back with a bang, this doesn’t mean getting out your extra large shoes, red noses and flower water pistols. This trend is all about the clash between bright colours and mettalics. Key details include embellishments, harlequins print, queen of hearts inspired suits and bold clashing prints.

Seen on the catwalks at Matthew Williamson and Miu Miu this is the trend of the season and at Lingerieplease we have picked up on this trend with gorgeous jewel coloured underwear. As for colours you are looking for reds, oranges and purples mixed with blacks, golds and silvers.

There are plenty of ways to transform your look into circus style, why not try a colourful bra with a colour clashing dress for a daring sexy look. Hoisery is also great for this trend, its amazing how a pair of bright tights can transform a look.

The superboost satin plunge bra in fuschia from Gossard would be perfect clashed with some bright hold ups from Pamela Mann.

There are plenty of ways to get in on the ‘act’ and lingerie is perfect for those wanting to embrace the trend in a subtle way. Check out the latest Autumn/Winter show at Lingerieplease.

There has been a major colour explosion on the high street and the catwalks. Gorgeous blues, purples, pinks are everywhere to beat those winter blues – and accessories are at the forefront of this rainbow. Oversized coloured gems, dazzling clutches and statement heels are everywhere and this fabulous leather clutch from M&S is no exception.

Designed in one of this season’s key shapes, at only £19.50 it’s a great way to get the look at a fraction of the designer prices. The intricate detail is stunning and the colours are bang on trend. For a low key daytime look wear with neutrals or greys but by night embrace the colour explosion and mix match with other key colours.

The winter is here and the winter woollies are coming out from wardrobes across the country. So if you’re feeling a bit blue at the thought of dull, dark clothes for those long cold months, I have the perfect cure – bright red! Bright red (or tomato red) is the colour this season and numerous little red dresses were showcased on the Autumn Winter 2008 catwalks.

Even Daisy and Lizzy have been spotted donning those LRDs. It’s a vibrant colour which is extremely flattering and will cheer up your winter wardrobe – and this amazing embellished dress from Philip Lim encompasses everything you want in a red dress this season. Team with tights and black killer heels for a sophisticated look which will be perfect for Christmas. Or for a more casual look add a cardigan a skinny jeans.

This 3.1 Phillip Lim Crystal embellished dress is £445 and available at Net-a-porter.

There seems to be a sale every other week at the moment… pre-season, mid-season, end-of-season… I’m not complaining though, sales are certainly kind to the pocket! This week it’s ASOS’s turn, they’ve just launched their mid-season sale and there are some definite bargains to be had.

Even better, most of the items in the sale will see you through the rest of the season, we’re not talking the dregs of the summer trends here, there’s some great on-trend pieces to snap up!

This Check Bow Shirt Dress is a definite must have, with two of this seasons key trends – bows and check print – in a lovely warm dress that’s perfect for winter. Wear it with leggings and boots for a casual feel, or dress it up with a waisted belt, black opaque tights and some patent shoes. And at £18, reduced from £32, it’s an absolute steal.

Head over to ASOS to snap up some more bargains before they all disappear.

As we all know, sequins are really hot right now, and the fresher way of wearing them this season is in the form of accessories. I’m a fan of the sequin scarves and hats that are popular at the moment, but for me it’s all about these shoes!

I think these shoes would be a very wise investment – always a classic and adorably twinkly I couldn’t imagine getting tired of these taking me around town.

Perfect for setting off a LBD, or even dressing up a more casual look (think Beyonce in her ‘Me, myself and I video; black off the shoulder top, ¾ length leggings and sequin shoes, I think that’s one of her hottest looks).

If you can’t resist these either, then head over to Net-a-porter where you can bag these Miu Miu Paillette embellished pumps for £350. (Note that the size runs small to size so you may be best to go up half a size!).

I am a big fan of the Herve dress, but if the £800+ price tag is a little out of reach, there are some fairly good imitations on the market. Take this Herve-a-like by Lipsy. This one shoulder bandage mini dress couldn’t really be mistaken for a Herve, but at first glance it’s a pretty close match and if you love the bandage dress but not the price tag, it’s the next best thing.

This dress also features some sophisticated detailing on the back – the single shoulder strap doubles into two asymmetric back straps, which look pretty effective and just like a Herve it features all over horizontal stripes. What’s more it’s just £55 from ASOS.

The real Herve is of course gorgeous; sleeveless, with a deep V neck and the popular body-con silhouette it’s stunning. You can pick up this particular style for £828 from Matches.

Here’s a sneak peak of some of the fabulous creations from London Fashion Weekend, check out the tartan – a hit trend for the autumn!

I love this navy origami tank dress by Fendi. Effortlessly chic, this dress simply pulls on and the round neck and A-line shape creates a very relaxed and understated feel, whilst the ruffles create all the drama. I love the ruffle style three dimensional origami detailing and the overall shape of the dress.

Made from 100 % silk the movement to the dress is bound to be divine and how many stunning evening dresses could be so comfortable to wear?

Team with simple accessories such as an oversized cocktail ring, plain oblong clutch and sky scraper heals so as not to interfere with the impact of the dress. If you like what you see and can afford the £1030 price tag, you can get this Fendi Origami tank dress from Net-a-porter.

Marc Jacobs is one of the UK’s most popular designers, and Kate Moss counts him among her favourite designers. Naturally most of his collections come with a matching designer price tag, which puts his clothes well out of reach for most of us. However, the Marc by Marc Jacobs range is an affordable, ready to wear collection that has some great pieces.

This Marc by Marc Jacobs Wonderland Blocks top captures the vibrant and colourful nature of Marc Jacob’s work, and comes in at under £200. The smock shape makes it really versatile – wear it tucked in and billowing over a black pencil skirt or jeans, or just leave it untucked for a more casual look. The bright colours will stand out best when worn with black – and keep accessories to a minimum as it’s a bold print.

You can get this top from Net a Porter, who also stock the rest of the Marc by Marc Jacobs range.

Not unlike the studded dress, are these sequin lace-up pumps from Topshop which are so cute. They come in all-red, all-black or gold and black (as pictured) and with a rather reasonable price tag of just £18.

I love items like this that bring a bit of sparkle to an ordinary outfit. Use to brighten up the popular boyfriend style or mannish trends such as military based looks, geek chic and punk based looks.

Or just throw them on with super skinny jeans and a vintage graphic tee. How ever you want to wear them they’re a great way to add the sequin trend to your wardrobe.
