New Look Summer 2014

It seems like a literal lifetime ago when I used to be so excited to go into New Look, thinking that their 915 range was like something hot off of a London Fashion Week catwalk. Those were the days (in our dreams girls!) 

The company have always been a staple of sorts for many fashion followers and like their competitors on the high street, they've grown into their own niche market. I've always believed that New Look's prices have been reasonably fair over the years but shopping for clothes also has a lot to do with quality and aesthetics too, something that had actually led me away elsewhere for a period of time. 

Despite being slightly disappointed for a while with the quality of some of their pieces and 'samey' looking garments, this Summer the company have definitely gone back into my good books. There are some lovely on trend pieces both in store and online at the moment, and I've put some of my favourites together below. I'm looking forward to getting some nice pieces for my wardrobe this Summer!

AW13- The Trends

Fashion Week is fast approaching and fashionistas around the world are preparing for yet another intake of what trends we'll be inspired by and wearing in Spring/Summer 2014. Like many, I anticipate what direction designers and brands are going to take next and lust over the designs that grace the catwalk and beyond. 

The fashion world witnessed Autumn/Winter 2013 collection shows back in February and I'm looking forward to reviewing some of my favourite looks from Spring/Summer 2014 shows in an upcoming post. With the introduction and development of high street brands now hitting the catwalk such as Topshop Unique, H&M and a collaboration between Rihanna and River Island, many of us can now shop the trends at a reasonable price. Whilst we hold onto the last of this year's Summer fashion, I've put together some of my favourite pieces that are shaping key looks for the months ahead.
