5 MUST-HAVE HOT FASHION PICKS FROM DOROTHY PERKINS

So it's back to shopping for us and the good news is that the high Street is brimming with some really 'Chic' buys and the best thing about the high street these days is that you don't have to be on the High street to shop the High street, fashion is just a click (or 2 away) with fabulous websites that have made shopping as easy as WWW dot!  Lately, I have been feeling like a quintessential lady and when I browsed the Dorothy Perkins website, I couldn't help myself from falling in love with these must-have  hot  fashion picks from our High street sweetheart, Dorothy Perkins....but the best part? The very pocket friendly prices...Ohhh la la!
So here's a little game, guess the price and if the actual price is lower, you must, must buy the garment...!!! Common now it's time to shop like a Pro....








Black and Latte Panel Dress CLICK FOR PRICE

Blue Colour Block Ponte Dress: CLICK FOR PRICE


Mocha Spot Dress: CLICK FOR PRICE

You've just got to love Dorothy Perkins...! It's no doubt one of our fashion favourites here at 'What is Hot in Fashion...'

What is Hot in Fashion: Front Row Pictures of The Olympic Torch Rally At Alexandra Palace Park

OMY! Who dared to touch the Olympic Torch with chipped nail polish???...That's a beauty sin!!! Hee!hee!

I just couldn't help myself from getting into all the Olympics euphoria yesterday with the torch  passing through my neighbourhood. Even better, we had great weather and almost a little bit too much of the sun. So I grabbed my vintage pair of  Levi's shorts, a simple shirt from gap and my fabulous Gucci trainers and headed to Alexandra Palace Park, were all the fun was planned.Armed with my camera I captured some really fabulous moments that made me forget about high street shopping (well just for a few hours..LOL!) Enjoy my Olympics rally photos after the break...

What is Hot in Fashion: House of Fraser Shoe Lounge....I Love! Love! Love!





I popped into House of Fraser (Oxford Street) shoe lounge today, I hadn't been in there in years and years  but wow, I loved it in there, it was like being in shoe heaven (only without the designer labels..wink!) but great high street brands like  Kurt Geiger, Cavela, Bertie, Nine West etc ...I saw so many fabulous shoes, blings, slings and super-chic... I need to go back for a shoe-fix...Love! love! love!

Clinton Cards.... A final Goodbye....



Walking past a shut down Clinton's store on the  my local high street; Southgate, North London,  (Yes, I'm always out on the high street...hee!hee!)  I just couldn't help but go "Awwwww" :(
It's so sad when businesses especially long standing ones go bust!
Goodbye Clinton Cards!!! So sad to see you go :(

Selfridges' Display Windows Celebrate All We love about Being Fashionably British - Fun! Fun! Fun!



Celebrating British Builders...complete with builder's bum..LOL!

I have always been fascinated by shop window displays; the creative thinking, the planning, the art direction, the delivery and how it makes me walk through the doors into the store..You'll probably catch me staring in awe before gorgeous displays but more often than anywhere else you'll probably catch me at one of the windows at Selfridges Oxford Circus...when it comes to creative displays Selfridges have it nailed...In line with the Diamond Jubilee and Olympics celebrations, Selfridges display windows celebrate all things we love about being fashionably british...

Selfridges, Oxford Circus, London

What is Hot in Fashion High Street Report: Olympics Fever Hits London High Street Stores

Hundreds of shoppers enjoying a  day out today on Oxford Street
It's exactly 7 days to the Olympics and London is ready for the games and so is the High Street as retail stores go gaga over the games. From gymnastics to union jack themed displays, London's famous Oxford street shop windows are 'olympic-ally' dressed to impress....


HM's Gymnastics themed window

Debenhams Javelin window theme

Forever 21 also goes gymnastics

Topshop's Union Jack Tribute Window

Forever 21 also had revolving Olympics ring window we liked...

John Lewis goes Red Hot...

Monsoon  was 'errrm not really bothered about the Olympics...( or maybe dressed for the Olympics after-party.hee hee!.)

Zara seems well over the Olympics euphoria even before it kicks off ..but we love the gorgeous window pieces...
GAP laps up the frenzy going completely union jack crazy...
I must admit that while retail stores have managed to get into the games spirit, fashion seems to have taken on a more demure look, it's more serious looking with formal pieces, subtle colours and sadly less fun..I can't help but wish for fun fashion without the  forced sports influence again...Bring on the colours high street!!!!
Anyone else thinks the high street is boring right now???
