Gummy Bear Balms





























Summer sun, air conditioning and humidity can cause our lips to chap - leaving us with dry skin and sore pouts. Luckily for us - Primark has come to our rescue with their Gummy Bear Balms - the super fruity sticks nourish parched pouts whilst adding a touch of gloss. The sumptuous balms come in four flirty flavors: Watermelon, Mixed Berry, Stawberry and Grape. Perfect for slipping into your clutch for last minute touch ups, lacing under lipsticks to create a truly plumptious pout and a festival savior when you need a serious moisture hit.

Hyper Floral


































Pack a punch with some hyper florals this Spring. Flowers are everywhere we look; they're blooming in our gardens, weaved into hair garlands and cascaded over our manicures. It's now time to take the trend one step further and inject some flower power into our wardrobes.

This New Look jumpsuit is the perfect transition piece to keep you looking fresh through the summer drizzle. The loose fit keeps your silhouette looking sleek while the long leg length means you can team it with a pair of killer heels to fake super model pins. If you don't want to lace your entire body in the earthy print - break up the design with a belt. This gold chain belt adds the perfect amount of glamour to the look while clinching in your waist creating enviable curves.

Transform the look into a 70s masterpiece by teaming your jumpsuit with an over sized floppy hat and brown chunky wedges. If you don't want to work such a strong vintage vibe - simply drape a gold necklace on your chest, slide some sunglasses through your hair and smile like a Bohemian goddess.

Hottest Online Destination



Black Jumpsuit - £15.76

We've all been there. Selfie snapped, heels are on and you're primed to party perfection. It's Saturday night and the club is filled with glamorous girls laced in vivacious velvets, powdery pastels and crisp white ensembles. As you make your way to the bar, you saunter through a mask of expensive perfume and the unmistakable scent of L'Oreal Elnett. That's where you spot her; with her brunet hair coiffed into a chic chignon surrounded by beauties armoured in Topshop, Miss Selfridge and Lavish Alice.

She's wearing the same outfit as you.

The lime green Boohoo two piece you ordered especially for tonight. It's a fashion face off. Your efforts have been thwarted and your cheeks are turning a deeper shade of crimson by the second.

What do you do? There are these options:

One -Run. Run as fast as your 6 inch stilettos will let you and dive into a dark corner not resurfacing until closing time.

Two - You could order a large glass of wine and hope that your embarrassment will dissolve with the help of more alcohol.

Or three - Deal with it head on. Work that lipstick, pucker a smile in her direction and vow to never find yourself in this situation again.

With every high street packed out with the same shops, it's inevitable that we're going to bump into someone else wearing the same outfit as us. A chorus line of New Looks, Forever 21s and Zaras are cascaded all over the country. For a truly unique look, head to online boutique SheInside.com.

SheInside is a fresh and vibrant online store that delvers catwalk looks and innovative styles ahead of the trends. The site is updated almost daily with flirty floral designs, stunning short suits and sumptuous jumpsuits.

Neon for Spring































































If the pastel trend isn't quite scratching your colour itch - head to Miss Selfridge and invest in this neon floral number. The subtle grey background makes a refreshing background choice as black and white can become boring. An array of bright pinks, purples and oranges are sprinkled all over this dress and it is all tied together with a neon yellow belt. Add a matching yellow bag to really make the colour really pop. Gun metal coloured jewellery works best with grey - but try not to over do it. Add a couple of rings or a simple bracelet to keep the outfit interesting but let the dress do most of the talking. Lovers of all things bright and beautiful can rejoice - the neon trend is back and it's bigger than ever.

Fuchsia Fusion

































Nothing says feminine quite like a pink dress; decorate said dress with matching pink jewels and a flowered pattern and you've got yourself a look so girlie you could join The Saturdays. Don't be scared to rock a ladylike ensemble - pretty pinks and pastel palettes have been spotted all over the S/S and A/W14 catwalks so it's a trend that's here to stay. If baby pink is a little too soft for your style and causes too many 90's Baby Spice flashbacks - inject some fuchsia into your wardrobe. This Miss Selfridge dress is the perfect way to wear the trend if the the thought of walking around head to toe in pink brings you out in a sweat. The darker shade means you can look womanly but will still be taken seriously at work or in the class room. The grey background means you can give it a rock chick vibe with some black opaques and killer ankle boots in the colder months, and in the summer you can update the look with bare legs and a pair of over sized sunglasses.

Leather Sparkles










































































We've all been there. You've been invited on a night out and you can't decide on what to wear. Do you wrap up in a body con dress, lace yourself in leather or shimmer in sequins? Why not go for all three? Leather is the perfect choice for winter, not only does it give off a sexy rock chick vibe - it also keeps you warm on these chilly winter nights. Leather can be a a tricky material to wear - it can make petite frames look bulky and cling to our awkward lumps and bumps. Bin your loose fitting leather and replace it with a skin tight dress; it will keep its shape all night and hold you in without a pair of Spanx in sight. To keep the dress from looking too gothic -  go for an embellished number. Gun metal silver jewels go with leather the best - add a little silver clutch and plain black shoes to finish off the look. For added glamour - pop a pair of sunglasses on and perfect your pout - this is a look that's going to grab attention.

Queen of Green




The freaky February weather means we don't know whether we should be rocking knit wear or Ray-bans. With short flurry's of snow followed by bursts of sun - our wardrobes are growing increasingly confused. Have the best of both worlds, and wrap yourself in a short sleeved jumper. The free arms will keep you cool while the fury material ensures you midriff is nice and toasty. Get yours in a delicious pastel colour; the delicate shade will take you all the way though spring (and maybe the summer as we're relying on the British weather). Keep the look colourful and team yours with a bright skirt. This emerald design is a Topshop bargain at £20. The asymmetric edging provides an interesting finish and the classic wrap shape means it's a real investment. Pop on some opaques, heels and a leather jacket to top off the look and beat the winter chill.

Dazzle in Denim




































B*Witched might not be doing the Big Reunion any more, but that doesn't mean we can't still take some style inspiration from their 90s wardrobes. Double denim is as hot as ever; whether your chilling out in jeans or teaming your shirt with a chic skater skirt - denim on denim is a killer combo. Shirts made out of the much loved material are a great way to keep you hot under the collar this season. The loose fit makes for a relaxed look and hides that burger belly you've been harbouring since lunch time. Team yours with a statement necklace to keep it interesting and keep the rest simple. If your not feeling nostalgic for lashings of denim; rock your shirt with some disco pants. The shiny trouser still makes a statement without the risk of looking like an extra in a Levis advert. How ever you decide to work yours - make sure you top off your look with a pair of black ankle boots.

Stud And Deliver

Hello Lovelies, 


The festival season has already began and the only way to show true appreciation to a summer of fields filled with rock gods, is to layer on lashings of studs. Don't be afraid to lavish this trend; bring in as many different accessories as you wish. If 'glamping' is more your style, Christian Louboutin has a gorgeous pair of red soled beauties that have killer impact. If your budget doesn't quite rival a rock star, missguided.com also have a stunning pair of heels for a fraction of the price.      

There is a studded creation for everyone, from a princess pink headband with pointed studs to create an edge or full on shoulder blades as featured on the Topshop denim jacket bellow. The truly brave can channel Kanye West and sport a pair of studded sunglasses. If this style is not your thing, you can simply wrap your phone up in a demur studded case. Phones need outfits too y'know? ;)
