SS 2011 - Daisy Lowe Swimwear

The frost's still on the pavement, but thoughts about the summer are beginning to appear in people's minds - after all it's only a few months and the sun will (hopefully) be shining and the trees will go green again at last.

Some sunny news this week was the announcemement of Daisy Lowe's forthcoming collection for Peacocks clothes - a range of swimwear. With inspirations including holidays on the French Riviera and fifties pin-ups, it's already creating a buzz in the fashion pages, and not just in the UK either - sites in Japan and Russia have also covered the story.

Daisy Lowe's fashion career so far has been in modelling, working for Peacocks on a series of best selling Pearl Lowe collections. Time was when you'd see models turn actress or pop star, and nothing wrong with that - but models becoming designers is a cool fashion phenomenon and Daisy Lowe's debut collection looks set for success.

The other notable aspect of Daisy Lowe's collection is its aim of complementing the curvier figure as well as smaller sizes. Looks like the beach is just about to get a whole lot more stylish in 2011!

Funny T-Shirts

My New Six Pack

If there is one thing I enjoy about shopping and to be honest probably the only thing then it's finding comical t-shirts. Since I'm not exactly Gok Wan when it comes to shopping I tend to go for the cheesy funny tops.

I found this one on the peacocks website it's exactly what I go looking for and probably the closest I'll ever get to having a six pack! What do you think of it? Lets face it for a fiver you can't go wrong!

Skinny Jeans Stronger Than Ever

One thing that’s hot in the fashion market just now is skinny jeans. With most of us (myself included) owning a few pairs of these jeans it’s no wonder most high street chains have them hung up all over their shelves just waiting for you to pick them up.

Chances are next time you’re out shopping every second shop you pass will have these on sale. With places like Diesel, River Island, Peacocks and Primark all selling them at speed. Prices can range from £10 all the way up to £300 so the options there for you whether you’re a bargain hunter or a “spendaholic”.

The revival of skinny jeans was probably mostly down to come back of rock bands and lots more celebrity’s slipping on the skinny jeans. Celebs like Madonna, Victoria Beckham and the likes of Cheryl Cole have all been spotted with these must have fashionable jeans so it’s no wonder most shoppers are jumping at the chance to jump on the band wagon.

Biker Boots for Winter

There is little doubt that Biker Boots (like these Grey Double-Straps from Peacocks) are one of the fashion essentials of the Winter season.


Pair them up with a chunky Leather Jacket (something like this from AllSaints) and Skinny Jeans and you've pretty much nailed it for this Winter.
