Miss Selfridge - Style Diaries

Get your style stripes

It's a jungle out there ... and we're going wild for animal print.

If you're a Miss Selfridge girl we KNOW you've already got a wardrobe full of leopard print (grrrr) but if you fancy changing your style stripes for summer our latest lust-have is a cool zebra print.

 

Our bold black and white skirt and zebra print dress hit the site this week, and we're wearing them with everything (erm, except our leopard print).

 

 

 

New girl on the fash block actress Daveigh Chase teamed her amazing striped dress with simple black courts and a studded bag at the Teen Vogue party, but we're also loving them worn with flashes of red or pink and even metallics.

Mac attack

Big macs, little macs, bright macs and pretty macs ... we've got this jacket trend nailed, and our latest finds are these cute vintage styles -just perfect for the great British summer.

 

Lightweight but heavy on the style points, a mac will keep you dry while looking fly.

 

Presenter Fearne Cotton uses hers to look stylish and stay dry on the festie circuit, and throws it over a pretty summer dress to beat the chill in the city.

 

Practical AND stylish ... and retro fabulous.

There's only ONE very limited design hitting the site and once it's gone it's gone so get yours now.

We can't guarantee it will net you a Ken-a-like, but we can guarantee you'll look fabulous while trying.

Gossip Girl's going grey

Who said grey has to be boring??

Our spacey silver foil vest has rocketed to the top of our summer fashion wish list and we're wearing it with everything.

It looks wicked with pops of colour, or try teaming it with a range of other grey separates like Blake Lively for a grown-up, glamorous look.

The Gossip Girl star wore her longline vest with a structured mini, a boxy blazer and hot heels to a fashion party in New York.

Take a style tip from her and ditch the opaques for lots of lightly tanned leg.

Fringed bags - the new celeb fave

 

Fringing graced the SS09 catwalks for a whole heap of designers including Alexander McQueen, Alberta Ferretti and Emma Cook - and it looks set to be a favourite in Autumn too.

To satisfy our need for must haves we simply-have-to-have-right-now we're going to be snapping up a beautiful fringed bag.

And we're not alone in our worshipping of these fringed favourites.

Acid wash simply is the hottest thing since Gossip Girl and believe us when we say no summer wardrobe is complete without a piece of this desirable denim.

Our acid wash dresses are perfect weekend wear: they look wicked worn with strappy sandals and boho jewellery in the park or vamped up with your highest heels and dashes of leather for a big party.

Retro lovers will rock our 80s style peplum dress with a pair of ankle socks and the sundress is perfect teamed with some subtle sequins for girlie girls.
