New Look

Apr 24, 2009. Written By Samantha O'Neill
It's the high street store you may love or loath. You have without doubt been in one, and for those who know the brand well they know that there are true treasures to be found.

New Look first opened in 1969 and has gone from strength to strength ever since. They were one of the first to pioneer maternity, tall and plus size fashions and have continued to challenge the rest of the high street with their organic cotton ranges and push towards ethical fashion.

 

Alexa Chung is the new face of New Look, so you know you’re in good company. They have also recently launched a Limited Edition collection, where you can get high fashion pieces that don’t stay around for long. It’s a store that caters to everyone, whether you’re  a cargo pant loving teen, or a chic yummy mummy, or a die-hard fashionista you will find something that you love. These are our faves:

 

 1.     Limited Edition embellished cardigan, £35

Christopher Kane eat your heart out. This is such a beautiful cardigan, I bet if we told you it was worth £350 you’d believe us. Everything about this cardigan is perfection from the on trend leopard print and sequin embellishment.
 
 
This is bang on trend at the moment. 80s bad taste has teamed up with Miami brights to create the hottest look of the season. One of the hottest prints is the flamingo. You will have seen a number of flamingo prints around the high street but this one is our fave.
 
These are a very sexy pair of shoes. And they are perfect for toughening up your sundresses or sexing up a pair of denim shorts. Always have a tan shoe in your summer wardrobe, it will quite literally be an outfit saviour. And these are the best we’ve seen.
 
It’s all about bangles this season, pile them high for full throttle effect. This set is fabulous. We are loving the gold and turquoise combo which is so flattering against tanned skin. We also like how they’re statement grabbing but without being overbearing. 
 
Garden party perfection. This is a gorgeous little skirt, the floral print will put a spring in your step even if the weather is miserable. The peplum style is a hot look for Spring/Summer. We love both the style and the price tag, how could you resist?
 
This is such a sassy bikini. The metallic and coral heart print is hot hot hot. We also adore the heart shape ring in the centre. Coral is such a great colour for those with a tan. And the padded cups will add oomph. We heart this bikini.
