The Maxi Dress Trend Keeps On Going!

Now is the time to start thinking about getting your summer wardrobe together, and a maxi dress is a holiday essential!

The flattering long length of the dress oozes glamour as well as covering a multitude of sins ( there’s no need to worry if you haven’t shaved your legs ladies!), and there are so many different prints and shapes to choose from this season it’s easy to find a style to flatter your figure.

Get yourself a casual maxi dress and team it with flats as a great beach cover-up, or go for something more sexy and team with heels for those post-beach cocktails!

They’re an obvious choice for tall ladies, but don’t think you can’t wear one if you’re short- Nicole Ritchie rocks her maxi dresses better than most celebrities and she’s tiny!

If you’re on a budget get yourself a maxi dress that will last you through to winter as well. Pick a darker colour like black or purple and you’ll only need to add a diamante clutch and heels to re-vamp the look for Christmas!

We’ve got a cute selection of maxi dresses at Pinksquid Clothing with many more styles due to arrive soon. We’ve picked out some of our fave’s below….

Pink & Black Scalloped Victoria Beckham Style Dress Back In Stock

Victoria Beckham has been a busy lady recently!  When she’s not dashing around in her skyscraper heels with baby Harper on her arm, or hitting the town with BFF’s Eva Longoria and Kate Beckinsale, she’s busy designing her various collections and showing them at London fashion week. In fact, Victoria has made such a big name for herself in the world of fashion that she recently won the award for ‘Designer Brand Of The Year’ at the British Fashion awards.

Her new line ‘Victoria’, debuted at Harvey Nics this season, and amongst the fabulous outfits, a stand-out ‘It’ dress emerged which has now been seen on many celebrity fashionistas including Olivia Palermo, Celine Buckens and Michelle Williams. Since it went on sale at Harvey Nichols, this £595 dress has become the ultimate must-have dress and it has a very long waiting-list!

The “scalloped neck with drop waist” dress as it is known comes in pink, blue or monochrome.  Olivia Palermo was seen in the blue version, choosing to accessorise it with her Armani jacket and a pair of sheer black tights and Michelle Williams has been seen in the black and white version of the dress, which she wore to the BAFTA Los Angeles 18th Annual Awards Season Tea Party recently.

Never one to shy away from self promotion, Victoria wore the pink version herself during a shopping trip to the Balenciaga store in New York, and Celine Buckens made an appearance in the same dress at the premiere of her film ‘War Horse’ in January.

If you love the dress but don’t like the sound of the hefty price tag or just can’t be bothered to join the long waiting list, we have a very similar replica of the pink dress available now at Pinksquid Clothing for a rather reasonable £37.99.

Peplum Dresses – Get The Look!

The peplum dress was seen on many of the 2012 spring/summer catwalks and it’s definitely one of our favourite trends of the season! This 40′s style piece is super-flattering because it cinches in the waist and flatters the hips giving the illusion of a perfect hourglass figure. Celebrities are really embracing the trend this season; Victoria Beckham, Fergie and Beyonce are all fans of this beautiful & feminine look.

This is a style that looks good on most people, and as the peplum itself is a great statement piece it means you only need minimum jewellery and accessories to complete your look.

We have a gorgeous side peplum dress in stock at Pinksquid Clothing which comes in a fabulous tailored shape with modern zipped detail on the peplum for a bit of a twist on the classic look. It comes in blush pink if you want to be seen in this season’s favourite shade, or in black for a more slimming look.

Celebrities in Mustard

One of our favourite trends for Autumn/Winter 2011 is the mustard trend, and no, we aren’t talking about the kind you put in your ham sandwich. We’re talking about the latest hue to hit the runways and to include in your wardrobe this season.

We really love this trend because this tasty colour gives your winter wardrobe a lovely injection of sunshine amongst the seasonal blacks and browns, and because you can get a variety of mustard shades (ranging from honey to dijon) it means everyone can find a tone that suits them!

As it’s such a strong colour you do need to be careful not to overdo it, so if you’re buying a mustard dress make sure you compliment it with other colours. Navy, plum and emerald are fab colours for keeping the look bold (plus the jewel colours are bang on trend this season), or else tone it down with more earthy shades like brown or beige.

Some of our favourite celebs are really rocking the look;

Get the look!

We have some cute mustard dresses at Pinksquid Clothing which are perfect for the A/W season and can be dressed up for the all important Christmas party!

Leopard Print Dress- Fashion Trend Alert 2011

If you do a lot of shopping, read a lot of fashion magazines or just have eyes, you’ll probably have noticed that there’s a whole lot of animal print goin’ on this winter. Lots of celebs have been wearing leopard, zebra or tiger print, and as usual the trend is best approached with caution lest you end up looking like a middle-aged barmaid in a northern soap opera.

Our favourite TOWIE girls have been seen hitting the town this week in different variations of animal print and despite their usual abundance of fake tan and false lashes, they’ve managed to pull the look off without looking tacky.

Maria Fowler and Lauren Pope were pictured leaving the Sanctum Soho Hotel Bar this week in animal print, with Maria nailing two of this season’s trends in a tiger print skater style dress with belt, whilst Lauren added a leopard print top to her leather skirt.

Former Towie star Amy Childs was spotted in a grey long sleeved leopard print number this week and illustrated how animal print can easily be worn during the day as well as night. Toning the print down with black tights and boots is a great way to go for a more chic, less wild look

Chloe Sims also looked fierce this week, wearing a cute one shoulder style leopard print dress at the Captain Morgan’s spiced beach party.

We have some fabulous leopard print dresses available right now at Pinksquid Clothing.

Wear it like the TOWIE girls with plain black heels and let the print do the talking!

Accessorize in leopard print;

Cheryl Cole recently proved she still has the X Factor on the set of her new film ‘What To Expect When You’re Expecting’ which also stars Cameron Diaz. Looking confident and happy she was wearing an Emilio Pucci lace dress and Christian Louboutin heels.

Here at Pinksquid Clothing we have a similar version which we’ve just added to the website which is perfect for the Christmas party season. With it’s tight bodycon style, short length and lace panelling it’s a head-turning dress that’s certain to get you lots of attention!

Frankie Sandford’s Style

Sexy Skater Dress

Frankie Sandford from The Saturday’s is definitely turning into a bit of  a fashion icon. Known for her quirky & edgy style, she always has her finger firmly on the fashion pulse. What we adore about Frankie though is that she loves a bit of high street style. In fact, she’s very often seen in affordable pieces even though she’s probably loaded. Frankie goes to show you don’t have to spend a fortune on fashion & always looks a million dollars in whatever she wears.

Here at Pinksquid Clothing we have a dress just like the one seen on Frankie recently- and following on from our recent trend-alert blog post- we’ve sourced the dress in summer’s favourite colour- coral!

Best & Worst Dressed At The Billboard Music Awards 2011

Cannes has only just wrapped, but another star-studded event has already eclipsed it in terms of the fashion! The Billboard Music Awards took over Vegas yesterday, and both music and fashion were at the forefront as celebs took to the WHITE carpet.

Among the styled arrivals we spotted Kylie in a fab Alexander McQueen frock, Rihanna suited up in white-on-white Max Azria menswear, and Selena Gomez in a cut-out, black Dolce & Gabbana dress paired with red Giuseppe Zanotti heels. Taylor Swift channelled old-style Hollywood glamour in a strapless, sparkling Elie Saab gown and Kelly Rowland rocked a Herve Leger bubblegum pink bandage dress with ease.

Like most music award shows, this one brought a slew of head turning looks. Nicky Minaj continued her reign of mad hair/style combos with a Mark Fast studded bodysuit, Versace cut-out heels and a wig made made out of pink party streamers! Ok so it’s not an outfit you’d wear to pop to the shops in (or wear anywhere for that matter), but she certainly owns the look. If we had a bottom like that we’d be showing it off too- Pippa who???

Other madcap outfits included Fergie’s tiered leather Herve Leger dress, and Ke$ha’s  sequinned bodice, cut-out, tulle-train gown by Jad Ghanour. If we had to pick one, Ke$ha would definitely be our winner for worst dressed. The singer was looking a bit ‘Sleazy’. In fact where most of the celebs looked like they’d scrubbed up she just looked like she needed a good scrub.

Dresses with the yawn factor included Nicole Kidman’s Dries van Noten evening gown and Beyonce’s odd looking Lanvin dress. We love Beyonce but this really did nothing for her fabulous curves, and maybe it was just the angle of the pictures but it looked kinda back-to-front.
