Party Dresses for NYE from ASOS Sale

There is still time to buy yourself the perfect party dress from the ASOS sale - here are a few of our favourites

Boxing Day Sales

It is hoped that the traditional post-Christmas sales provide a boost to High Street retailers, as shoppers look for increasingly competitive discounts.

Many large department stores and chains opened early on Boxing Day, while a number of online sales began on Christmas Eve with a huge n umber of people shopping on line on Christmas Day!

In London's Oxford Street, some had queued outside their favourite retailers since the early hours of the morning in their eagerness to grab the best bargains with some people queueing outside the flagship Topshop branch since 06:00.

Meanwhile Harrods kicked off its winter sale with mugs of hot chocolate and gourmet smoked salmon canapés served by butlers to people in the queue, while they were serenaded by a string quartet and watched a performance by street magician Dynamo.

The crowds certainly turned out in force at Westfield Stratford as this image shows

Jameel Prize 3 at the V & A

Jameel Prize 3 - Winner Announced

Dice Kayek has won the £25,000 Jameel Prize 3 for Istanbul Contrast, a collection of garments that evoke Istanbul’s architectural and artistic heritage. The judges felt that Dice Kayek’s work demonstrates how vibrant and creative Islamic traditions continue to be today. Their translation of architectural ideas into fashion shows how Islamic traditions can still transfer from one art form to another, as they did in the past. Ece and Ayşe Ege were presented with the prize by Martin Roth, Director of the V&A and Fady Jameel, President of Abdul Latif Jameel Community Initiatives (ALJCI) at an awards ceremony at the V&A on Tuesday 10 December

Another look at Felicities Issue

Just before Christmas I popped into the Felicities Showroom as we were looking for inspiration for some new music artists I am styling and I wanted to check out the new Felicities Issue designers ...

As a regular visitor to Felicities I am always thrilled to discover new brands there and I found some fabulous ideas for future shoots and styling jobs. My absolute new favourite is luxe sports focussed D'ALBERT with its crisp white and pink palette
