We love Reiss, and this week, as they begin to promote occasionwear for Spring, we have fallen madly in love with the Peacock Dress.

The cinched in waist and full, floaty skirt give it a fifties feel while the mesh and embroidery at the top mean it fits right in with the ballerina trend.  Go for snow white if you want to look pure and innocent at your important occasion or rose red if you want to be a little bit wicked!!  Take a look at the full range of occasionwear at Reiss before you buy that important dress from anywhere else. The pure and modern range is absolutely gorgeous too!!

Pleated skirts lost their safe and respectable tag, when they sashayed their way down the catwalks at Chloe and Richard Nicholl for spring/summer 11. Here”s our round up of pleats on the high street – click the images for the details.

Take influence from black swan and wear them as part of the ballerina trend or make them futuristic with metallic tops,  luxe leather and glam high heels.  Karen Millen have used pleats in their signature mini-skirt to create a powerful look that will update your spring work wardrobe, while french connection goes soft and feminine by  combining white pleats with pretty pink pastels and vintage sandals. Add tennis shoes and a college jacket and the look fits the preppy trend

Get the skirt – wear it your way..

Loads to look at, at the Top Shop sight today – including all the new collections. We’re loving the Gypsy rock styles of ‘Snake Valley’ (start to think fringing for the festival season) and the hippy, gypsy looks of ‘Swedish Summer’ lots of floppy hats and floaty skirts – just makes you want to run barefoot through the grass!!
