GMTV’s much loved fashion presenter Mark Heyes is fronting the Recycle Fashion for Haiti online auction on eBay which started on the 2nd April and is running until the 2nd May 7pm. A great idea to raise money for a worthy cause whilst bagging some designer goodies!
Celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Scarlet Johansson, Vivienne Westwood, Leighton Meester and Fearne Cotton have donated items from a Gucci bag to a Prada bag with all the proceeds going towards the DEC Haiti Campaign.
Now it’s time to fess up ladies! A lot of us are guilty of buying items of clothing and then never wearing them – including myself I have to admit. If you have any unwanted fashion items why not donate them to the Recycle Fashion Appeal to raise money for worthy causes (and make more room in your wardrobe!)
Featured throughout the Spring/Summer 2010 catwalks such as Louis Vuitton and Topshop Unique, cycling shorts seem to be a definite season must-have!
Part of the sportswear look they are versatile enough for layering, with denim for example, and can be dressed up or down – depending on the style of course. Now being a pear shape I’m a little annoyed with this trend. But only because women who have spidery long legs seem to be the only people who can probably make cycling shorts look stylish instead of frumpy… But if you’re willing to give them a go I would suggest wearing them with a pair of killer heels or super chunky wedges.
Andy The-Anh’s creations are recognised for their ultra-feminine styles for the modern career woman and exude refinement and glamour. His summer dresses are fun and flirty, perfect for a day at the office or a cocktail party!
One of my favourite designers Matthew Williamson has a great range of hot creative looks from his Spring 2010 Ready-To-Wear Collection. Fresh vibrant colours and patterns keep the pieces looking feminine and oh so perfect for the hotter weather whilst rich embellishment detail adds a flare of character.
Williamson’s trademark super skinny trousers are featured in the collection as well as paper-bag-waisted shorts and long floaty dresses – which are definitely more suited for evening occasions rather than the beach! Pastel shades and interesting patterns are used to create chic daytime outfits whilst vivid jewel like colours are used for the more tailored pieces. There’s also a hint of masculinity with the combination of blazers and jackets teamed with embellished feminine dresses and a sheer blouse. Silk draping and geometric beading patterns are also used throughout the range making for some stunning pieces!
A definite 10 out of 10 from me for Matthew Williamson’s Spring Ready-To-Wear 2010 Collection!
