I have fallen in love with Anna Sui’s new collection, the designer manages to combine vintage courture with modern day trends and has really hit the nail on the head with these catwalk styles. My favourite piece is the Anna Sui Deco print dress (left), it is a fab party frock and reasonably priced at £225. The two-tone print is unique and puts curves in all the right places!

Next up is the Anna Sui Bouquet print dress (£285), a floaty feminie design with popular floral prints inspired by spring. Then we have the Anna Sui Deco Trees sleeveless dress, a perfect dress for day and night in the summery months. At £250 it is all quite reasonably priced and would look fabulous with a black clutch and black sandals.
The Anna Sui Layered gingham dress (£295) is a perfect mix of smokey grey and purple tones. The design is unique with transparent material on the upper sleaves and above the chest. Lastly we have this gorgeous Anna Sui Heart detail skirt which looks fab with a tight tucked in t-shirt and sexy platforms. The high waist is extremely flattering and at £160 its not out of reach.

Now that summer is on its way I think its about time to get funkier with bright colours and accessories! I just saw this Marc Jacobs Rana evening bag over at Net-a-porter and immediately pictured myself strutting down the road in my flip flops and oversized shades feeling fabulous with this gorgeous accessory on my shoulder!
The spring catwalk has been full of neon and fluro, I love the way Mark Jacobs has taken this style and added his special touch creating a classic bag with sport like strap that can be removed to form an elegant clutch if preferred. The pink bag is made from leather with a frog shaped clasp, suede frame and silky satin lining. Does it get any better than this?
The bag can be purchased for £795 so get saving!

Look super chic and trendy this summer in this Alberta Ferretti Chain Embellished Dress.
The Grecian theme in fashion is so feminine and summery and the buttermilk coloured draped short dress is the perfect stereotype, as seen on the runway. The flattering shapely dress has chain and stone embellishment given it the wow factor, an elasticated waist and is fully lined. Just as much as I can imagine it on a celebrity on the red carpet I can see it looking stunning on any women living the luxury on a yacht or in St Tropez/Puerto Banus.
Get the Greek chic Alberta Ferretti Chain embellished dress at Net-A-Porter online priced at £2,060 now.

Finally, the Luella Rebecca Mini Dress is available to buy online! After seeing the beautiful floral patterns of Luella Bartley’s designs pasted in every fashion glossy I had my heart set on this dress and to add to my excitement the said dress is just £325!
The multicoloured strapless piece is a mix of cotton and silk blend, has a low back and a scalloped edge detail on the bustier. It’s perfectly flattering clinching at the waist and puffing out around the derriere and it is ‘as seen on’ the run way and on many a celebrity. This Luella Rebecca Mini Dress is a collectable. Pair with leggings or footless tights for a punky look or cute ballet pumps for summer chic.

My colleagues and I visited Topshop in Oxford Street on Wednesday for an afternoon of cocktails, canapes and a catwalk show. The show brought together latest fashions and styles at Topshop with vibrant colours and some very interesting ensembles!

One of the main themes running through the show was long cream socks with either mustard or cherry pink coloured shoes. I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of the trend but all the girls were sporting the new style.

Lace up platform boots were also a dominant feature of the show, they looked extremely hard to walk in and I don’t fancy wearing them myself but they certainly look striking if you want to make a statement.

Ruffles, flower prints and stripes were also key trends on the catwalk, ruffled flowery skirts were frequent and everyone in the store was trying them on afterwards in the changing room!

This season is a chance to get some colour back into the world, so dress up your black leggings or trousers with pinks, yellows, electric blues and eccentric print designs.

The new ‘it’ bag has hit the fashion market! It’s designed by Yves Saint Laurent and it’s called the ‘Patent Downtown Tote’.
Another great designer bag to give the this season’s already famous and most wanted Marc Jacobs ‘Classic Stam’ a run for its money. The Sleek and stylish tote is the perfect arm candy! It’s in keeping with the big bag trend, its black a colour to match pretty much all outfits and has a great shape, ideal for the chic city girl. Its £840.00, and so totally worth every penny.
Get your Yves Saint Laurent ‘Patent Downtown Tote’ from Harvey Nichols online.
