This weekend I went shopping for an outfit for my post christmas/end of January works party - as my employers didn't think they should do the same as everyone else and have a party at Christmas.
Anyway, I digress...
Out in the Trafford Centre yesterday I realised that the high street fashion stores certainly have alot going for them! Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge and Topshop are the three I found myself going back to for a second time, for three different reasons.
Miss Selfridge, has a massive, gorgeous range of jewellery; chunky bracelets, dangly earrings, all kinds of necklaces and hair fascinators. My favourite is this rhinestone silver necklace (right) at a bargain for £5.00.
Dorothy Perkins has recently begun collaborating with other designers and giving them concession stands instore. This dress on the right is by one of those designers, Rise, and is a steal at £35.00, as it is completely covered in this leaf design with sequins and beads. And looks heavenly on.
Topshop has always been my go to for shoes that are stylish and will literally go the distance, and there are still some stylish buys left instore in their sale section. These shoes are called 'Stella' and are right on trend for this SS11 as they are platform peep toes. And what more reason could you need than over 50% saving at £35.00.
Style Icon, Fashionista, Trend Setter... all words that we ladies like to think of when we describe ourselves, and hopefully here is where you'll find some inspiration to make that happen! I am a fashion writer, teacher and a lover of baking - and you'll find all that here!

January Sale Update - Today's Hot Property: Topshop.com
Flicking through the online sales I saw this gem...
Topshop.com have some designer bargains from their range designed by Meadham Kirchhoff to help you remain in the festive spirit for that little bit longer.
Meadham Kirchhoff is a relatively new designer whose A/W 2010 collection had a heavy Eastern European influence, which his range for Topshop seems to be taken from.
Prices start at £30.00 for a nude silk slip dress and go up to £150.00 for a 100% silk, navy blue sequin detailed dress - perfect for the party season! Here are some of my favourites:
