The stars were out in force in Hollywood last night, wearing pieces from the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection due to be appearing in stores on November 14th.Full story at this link.

A leather bracelet will cost you from £14.99, a dress between around £70 & £150 and a pair of sky high thigh boots will cost around £179.99.  The collection will be avaliable in Uk stores in Birmingham, Brighton, Cardiff, Kent London, Mancester and Newcastle Upon Tyne.

The warning is, on the day, expect crowds!! The first 160 people in line who want to shop women’s wear will be issued with a bracelet which will eventually allow them time in the designated shopping area. If you want to buy the whole collection – go ahead – but sadly they’ll only allow you one of each item (break open that piggy bank)!! If you’re not in the first 160, then you’ll just have to keep waiting and hope you get a look in!!  The collection is a glamorous mix of leather, suede, satins, crystals & studs. Footwear includes killer, killer heels, pumps and sandals. Jewellery – think fabulous rock chick.

If you’re shopping menswear, that’s ok, no need for a bracelet – guys there’s a nice suit in there, jeans, sweaters, a biker jacket and some great biker and chelsea style boots.  It’s toned down and manly – you’re only there to look good on the Jimmy Choo girl’s arm!!

Take a look at the video link at the top of the post to let Tamara Mellon herself talk you through the fabulous clothing, shoes and accessories. and for a full collection overview follow this link to the H&M site.

Autumn/Winter 09 Style Tips- Fashion Confidential – Online Weekly Style Magazine

Category : Autumn, Designer, Latest, Trends, Winter, Women

Weekly Online Style News & Advice27-October-Issue

You know when you read your weekly/monthly fashion mags and you see great fashion tips, stylish looks, places to buy and you think, ‘I’ll keep this issue and look back at it to make sure I stay in the know this season’…And then, you know when you end up with piles of dog eared back copies all over the house and you can’t remember what you’ve actually seen where?

Well,that’s why at The Fashion Guide, we’re a great fan of online Fashion Magazines – you don’t have to go out into the cold to buy one, they’re free, and you don’t end up with the problems we’ve just talked about – all your back issues are neatly tucked away for you and avaliable at the click of the mouse (just make sure you don’t break a nail)!!

This last few weeks we’ve discovered the gorgeously glossy, weekly magazine at Designer Fashion site, Fashion Confidential.  Each issue is filled with the latest looks and trends, accessories, fantastic style tips as well as up to date fashion news and events.  The magazine has been available since September, and the weekly issues, available now, are building into a luxurious diary of the season that the reader can dip in and out of as they please.

This week’s Issue is the Workwear issue featuring the understated glamour of classic camel coats, the relaxed and easy luxe of softly tailored separates, simple shift dresses and the best in this season’s work bags.  Last week’s issue takes four of the season’s key pieces (the draped dress, the tux jacket, the white shirt, the menswear trouser) and shows how they can work by both day and night.  Also find a round up of the latest in style staple, the Breton Stripe. The great thing about this magazine, is that each week, the style advisors take these pieces and put them together with all the clothing and accessories needed to create stylish, on trend outfits that really work.

The magazine forms a centre piece to Fashion Confidential, who make life easier for professional women who love designer fashion.  They trawl the net finding the best looks around so that we don’t have to. Everything  seen on the site, will take you straight to the source in one click so that you can buy online.  But even if you’re not shopping for designer looks at the moment, we urge you to take a regular look at the great magazine, the comprehesive bargain hunter section, and our favourite, a daily fix of insider gossip, news of latest fashion events and designer collections. We’d love to hear your comments when you’ve taken a look.
