Unless you’ve been on an expedition to the moon over the last couple of weeks, you can’t have failed to notice that quirky London lass Lily Allen has a new album out this week, ‘It’s Not Me It’s You’ – having only heard the single ‘The Fear‘ it seems like more of the same, Cockney-accented melodic pop – which isn’t necesarily a bad thing.

New album from London Lily

Not only is wee Lily conquering the world of music, her unique fashion sensibility seems to be the primary influence on many of the ranges of some of the top high street stores this spring. Let’s have a look at some Lily-isms………..

Vitually all of the Ladies Dresses at Peacocks are Lily-Style…..the pink ruffle bow is pretty similar to the one on the album cover.

Jumper Dresses have been one of the fashion success stories of the winter season. This explosion in popularity is mainly down to their sheer versatility: jumper dresses can be worn with almost anything!

Dresses

Choosing a dress for the office xmas party can be a stressful experience. We have seen some xmas fashion disasters over the years, with some dresses that were probably worn once – never to see the light of day again. Here are some of our golden party dresses rules:

Don’t spend alot – We always feel that spending too much is not a great idea as these nights can be messy – there is no need to splash out on a high-end designer outfit when you can achive a glamourous look direct from the high street.

Keep it simple - avoid long, single-coloured cotton dresses – we have lost count of the number of dresses ruined by the accidental flying glass of red wine.

Glamour is good – this is the one time of year that you can truly let your hair down and shoe your colleagues your true personality – blow them away with a black sequin dress or mini skirt.

Other Party Gear Considerations

Make sure that your footwear is comfortable – jumping around the dancefloor can become an agonising experience if your shoes are giving you blisters.

Wear a coat – chances are that you will be wandering the streets at a late hour trying to flag down a taxi home, dont get caught without a warm coat or you’ll have more than a hangover the next day.

These are some simple rules that we follow, whats your favourite christmas party combo?
