SELECT'S NEW ONLINE STORE

Select have recently launched their online store and they have some really fashionable pieces at very low prices. This distressed look union jack T-Shirt is reminiscent of the one that Mischa Barton recently wore and Topshop have been using the print on tops, leggings, skirts and jackets.

Select really surprised me when I checked out their website- I haven't been to one of their stores for over a year and they seem to be very fashion forward now. These gorgeous buckle heels are reduced from £22 and the Matthew Williamson-esque studded belt is reduced from £8.

New This Week On desireclothing.co.uk

This week's new items on desireclothing.co.uk include the exact same paint splash dress from River Island for £20 cheaper- it's selling out very fast and only still available in two sizes.

Another fashion forward dress is style inspired by the Stella McCartney pleated prom worn by Gwyneth Paltrow.

My ASDA Shopping List

ASDA's current G21 collection is bang on trend and definately worth checking out next time you do some food shopping. I didn't know until today but you can buy all of their clothing and accessories online.
With Balmain inspired acid wash skinny jeans for £16, a candy pink tulip mini skirt for £10 and a gorgeous tux jacket with emphasised shoulders (a key catwalk trend for Autumn/ Winter) for only £20. These item are definitely on my shopping list!

I LOVE my Balmain-esque Heels

Ever since these gorgeous jewel studded heels we're on Balmain's Autumn Winter 09/10 Catwalks and have been paraded around by Rihanna I've wanted these in my vast collection! I never expected to be able to buy Balmain originals but when I was looking through items on ebay I was considering paying £200 for replicas. So you can imagine how ecstatic I was to find this pair on at £10. In the end I paid £24 including postage and they are beautiful. I actually prefer them to the style of the originals because they have a platform and don't have the strap that go in between the toes. I love the zip up the back and they look amazing on!

fashionjunki.com

After seeing this pink dress in this week's LOOK magazine I checked out fashionjunki.com. It is another fashion website that clearly uses the same wholesalers as so many others but like desireclothing they have some nice unique styles at cheap cheap prices-oh and try not to be put off by the umpa lumpas in the photos!

When I saw this Matthew Williamson for H&M dress advertised before the launch of the range at H&M I decided that I had to have it- that was until I saw the price tag! £69.99 is way out of my price range. This fashionjunki version is just as nice.


I love Motel's floral prints but think they charge far too much for them. This dress is identical and £20 cheaper.









Lantern skirts are the essential shape right now and this one is the spitting image of River Islands design.

















I really like this zebra print peplum dress. It's much nicer that the yellow one they also have and that BAY have in their stores.







This zip front tulip dress is soooo on trend with it's exposed zip and pleating detail and is very similar to the one that Abbey Clancy wore to the Brit Awards in February. This dress is £35 but when you look closely at the fabric it looks worth it!






This Alexander Wang dress sold out pretty much immediately when it went on sale on net-a-porter.com which is no surprise after the huge celebrity exposure it's had. Lindsay Lohan and Diane Kruger are among the many that have worn this colourblock bodycon dress. Topshop did their version for only £18 but I prefer fashionjunki's version and it's price at.

I ♥ desireclothing.co.uk

I only discovered desireclothing.co.uk last week when I was flicking through the adds at the back of Look magazine but since then I've come to love it! The majority of the clothes are on trend and really affordable and most of all they have unique styles compared to similar sites who all appear to use the same wholesalers. These are a few of my favorite styles- not including, of course, the Topshop print peplum dress featured below that is already in my wardrobe!

I really like this version of Lady Gaga's dress. Gaga's version is far to risky and exaggerated and this dress is much easier to wear. It still has the deep 'V' but with another layer underneath and the skirt is still has the structured hips but less intense. At the moment I am teaming my studded waist belt with everything and I think it would be a perfect compliment instead of the plain black belt. £24.99


These suede (I'm guessing mock) platform shoe boots with zip detailing are perfect for the shoe boot trend that all of the celebs are wearing. Team with a mini dress like Ashley Tisdale or skinny jeans for a more casual look.

£24.99


I was a little bit annoyed when I saw the dress on the left because I bought the exact same one for over £40 from a concession in New Look on Oxford Street. This shows that on this site you really can get a bargain.

Both £29.99


Quite a few websites and high street shops (including ASOS and Topshop) have done their version of this dress that Nicole Richie wore during Fashion Week.

£19.99




The tulip dress is definitely a key shape for Summer 09 and now the stores are updating their versions by combining it with the one shoulder / asymmetric trend. Desire's version is very similar to the one that Topshop currently have and with the extra £15 you can but some shoes to match!

TOPSHOP PANSY PRINT CORSET PROM DRESS

Today Topshop unveiled their brand new version of their corset dress with a new pansy floral print. I love this print but not the colours- the red colour is too dark and it just doesn't look as amazing as the pinkier version they have used as the background of their 'Day of the Dead' look and yesterday's newsletter. I absolutely love watercolour/ floral prints but this one is not a must have- and judging by the fact that it's still fully stocked in every size they've not got this one quite right.

TOPSHOP SPOT CORSET PROM

This is another example of desireclothing.co.uk having the same style as Topshop. Although the photos make the dress look a bit different I'm guessing that they are exactly the same dress just with different labels- and a different price tag!

TOPSHOP PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINT

Topshop's Photographic Print dress, skirt and corset sold out in seconds when they went on sale a couple of months ago and I was lucky enough go shopping on that very day and bag myself the dress. Since then, however, they've re-stocked it and in a way ruined the special-ness for everyone that manged to get one the first time around. Regardless of this I LOVE my dress and was soooo excited when I stumbled across this one on desireclothing.co.uk for only £25. It is exactly the same print and fabric as the Topshop styles for half the price! I bought one of these immediately and received it really quickly- will defo use this site again! I can't really work out how Desire Clothing managed to get this Topshop print and think that it might be a style that Topshop canceled as there are marks where the boning is inserted on the bust (barely noticeable because of the print). There are a few more styles on desireclothing.co.uk that are in Topshop and BAY and it's definitely worth checking regularly!
