H&M and Jimmy Choo

Yes you read the title right. The high street giant that is H&M have an amazing knack for getting customers excited about their designer colloborations. Karl Lagerfeld, Matthew Williamson, Stella McCartney anyone...?

Now they have teamed with accessories favourite Jimmy Choo to create a line of shoes and clothes which are affordable and wallet friendly. Yes, Jimmy Choo's for less. This will be taking place around November 14th across 200 stores worldwide!
(Cheers for the tip off Mum)




I predict overnight camping and queue-rage. Ready, Set.....

GAP @ Asos


Having worked for GAP, I understood the frustrations of customers who needed to shop in a hurry and discovered that there was no online service for GAP Europe but there was one for the United States. Not only that but many pieces from the European Collection were available on the US website. GRRRRRR...was the emotion drawn from this set up.
So now ASOS.com has teamed up with the pioneers of great wardrobe basics to distribute an exclusive online collection. This will be the first ever GAP Europe online venture. Available from August...mouse at the ready guys. Hopefully this will encourage GAP EU to launch its own online service, fingers crossed. (Huge sale on right now at GAP up to 70% off, its criminal).

Also look out for a colection from Mango @ ASOS.

Pick of the week.



In the vein of denim treats here is a dress bound to make any woman look hip on casual friday and awesome on a day off. Arm conscious? The wide sleeves are perfect for wing camouflage. Tummy aware? The drawstring waist pulls you in and saves time and money spent on a gym. Leg shy? It looks wonderful and on trend when worn with leggings or coloured tights. What more could you want from a faboosh day dress.
Final thought: If you can get away with wearing denim at work, this is a great pick.
Dressing made "simples".
