April 24th, 2008 by Aimi

Marc Jacobs Rana BagNow 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!

The Bra of All Bras!

April 23rd, 2008 by Hayley

Wonderbra Multi Plunge BraWhether they are strapless, one shoulder, low cut or puff sleeved, summer dresses seem to be everywhere I turn. Lovely and floaty or short and chic, I just have to have them…ALL of them!

However, there was something very important that I failed to remember when I rushed out to buy my first two new dresses of the summer (FYI a gorgeous backless dress and a floral dress with cut away shoulders). However lovely my dresses seemed at the time of purchase, trying them on again at home I realised that they would never look quite right without the correct underwear. In my opinion, there is nothing worse than visible bra straps. And the clear straps you can get often end up looking a lot like cellotape! So I began searching on the internet for something amazing, and that’s what I found. Introducing The Wonderbra Multi Plunge Bra from online store Lingerieplease.co.uk.

Believe it or not, this bra comes with 3 sets of straps that can be moved to over 100 positions, which means no visible bra straps with ANY style dress or top. Yippee! So, for £25.99, you are effectively getting around 100 different bras!

Available in Black, Skin and White, you have no excuse for looking anything less than drop dead gorgeous in your summer gear this year!

This dress is certainly in keeping with the romantic mood that is flooding our high street stores this summer. The asymmetric design accentuated by contrasting colours works really well and is perfectly set off by the stunning side embellishment.

Romantic Frills!

April 20th, 2008 by Carly

Topshop Frilly DressI am so into the romantic look this season, soft frills in delicate chiffon and silk is so feminine and will make you any woman feel like a lady!

Topshop have got the look down to a tee with this beautiful silk frill dress. The tiered ra ra skirt is a key piece this season, so this dress works perfectly with the tiered ra ra effect that is on the bottom half of the dress. It gives it a fun flirty feel whilst the delicate fabrics maintain that romantic mood that oozes elegance and femininity.

The pale grey really works on this dress; however it does come in a stunning dusty pink that is ultra feminine and would look fab with a tan!

Marios Schwab Unique Dress!

April 20th, 2008 by Carly

Marios Schwab Lilac DressMarios Schwab never fails to create a great dress and this dress certainly follows Schwab’s flawless reputation in the dress department. Schwab has really experimented with this truly unique dress! It’s such a stylish design that was inspired by the inner structure of garments resulting in internal features being applied to the external look of the garment; a bizarre idea that works surprisingly well!

I think the print is really striking on this dress; it is uniquely placed and brought together by an elastic strap that creates cap sleeves; a very complex design that is definitely a head turner!

For £850, it is definitely worth every penny! You can buy yours today From Browns Fashion online!

It is the perfect spring bag and will look fab with those fresh spring neutrals.
