Leopard print jeans make for a stylish update to the usual plain coloured styles. They are a refreshing change to leggings and will add fashionable interest to day and evening looks. A great transition piece to see you into the New Year – fabulous!
This animalistic trend is already a massive hit with celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss, Fergie and Cheryl Cole who all added their own style to the trend. The print comes in an array of fabulous colours such as greys, browns and pinks giving you plenty of choice on how to wear them.
For day wear team your leopard print beauties with a slinky t-shirt, a chunky knit and biker boots. They’ll be your go-to pair of jeans for months! For the evening, a sequin top and killer heels will give you a comfortable party outfit. Versatile leopard print – what more could a girl ask for?!

Making a stylish comeback next Spring/Summer is the trouser suit. This is a great trend for the professional woman and was seen on the catwalks of Sonia Rykiel and Caroline Charles. It is an amazing transition piece for busy women which is down to the amazing versatility of the style.
London-based Canadian designer Andrew Majtenyi opted for pale colours bordering on cream and styles in refreshing shades of ochre making a lovely change from the usual black, grey and white. Ochre is also the perfect alternative to bold yellow and can be worn day or night just by swapping accessories and shoes – extremely chic.
The pieces are beautifully structured too and can be worn with a belt to accentuate the waist line and enhance curves. I’m sure they’ll be massively popular with women across the country.
A great way to save money (and create more space in your wardrobe!) is to get use out of that must-have dress you’ve recently bought. Release your inner fashionista and create three hot looks using one dress – fabulous!
Decide on a garment with versatility such as a skater frock (perfect for creating curves) which can be dressed up or down and create some gorgeous looks for day and night by experimenting with knitwear, blouses and jackets. There are tonnes of outfits you can put together so have a rummage through your wardrobe to see what you can find. If you’re after some inspiration to get you started then check out the looks below.

Add a burst of colour to your winter wardrobe by flaunting one of this season’s must-have colours – berry red. Celebrities such as Carey Mulligan, Florence Welch and, the style Queen herself, Victoria Beckham have been seen wearing this gorgeous shade effortlessly and you can too!
Berry red is great for the festive season and looks great worn day or night. The colour can be found adorning satins, silks and everything in between so you’ll be able to find an item of clothing which totally suits your style and body shape. Textured berry red pieces like faux fur, velvet, lace and sheer chiffon will give outfits depth and a luxurious edge too so why not do some fashion experimenting!
The rich tone of berry also clashes wonderfully with ruby, copper and chestnut shades so don’t be afraid that it might all be too much. You could even incorporate the 70’s and 40’s trend into the look by sporting a pair of wide leg trousers or a cloche hat.
A fabulous colour that any fashionista would be proud to wear – it really is a berry red Christmas!
