The Fashion Feed: Get Noticed In Neon

Designers are getting all nostalgic at the moment and bringing back the nineties neon look. This style was seen in the seventies and the eighties too and if worn with care can create a playful but at the same time pretty stylish outfit.




Block colour pieces are probably the best foundation for the neon look as you can contrast bright, garish shades with blacks, greys and beiges for a more subtle effect. This lime-topped dress is the perfect example and costs just £22.99 from Republic so it's a totally affordable option for any self-respecting bargainista.




If you want to go for more of a hippy slant you can't go wrong with this rainbow striped animal print slouch bag by Roxy. Not only is it big enough to carry all your beauty essentials but the leopard print detail and neon shading offers a double-whammy on the fashion fix front! It is currently available at Pacsun for $29.50.



Last but not least, if you're feeling a bit 'Lost in Translation' you could get wiggy with it and invest in a bright pink hair piece. I love this long fringed version from PartyDomain because regardless of how many diets we go on, not all of us have Scarlett's petite jaw-line! It costs a paltry £4.91 meaning you can be completely wild and wonderful on a budget!

The Monthly-Must Have: Indulge Your Sweet Tooth With A Candy Stripe Clutch

This month's must-have is this sweet and simple candy stripe clutch. Every designer worth their salt is trying to find new ways of bringing back 80s neon shades and this hard clutch bag is just the way to do it with subtlety.

This item is a style must-have because it ticks so many fashion boxes. All the top celebs have been touting hard case clutches on the red carpet of late and the block colour effect of this little beauty keeps it so on-trend.

It is currently on sale at Asos for just £19.75. We're expecting to see a 'sold out' sign on it very soon so we advise you to bag it whilst you can...no pun intended.

The Fashion Feed: Sports Chic on the Cheap!

Designers are taking inspiration from chav-style garments at the minute with sports stripes and neon vests swiftly becoming major fashion themes. A walk down the high street however is a far cry from a walk round your local council estate as perfecting this look requires two things Vicky Pollard never had: subtlety and style.

Going Nude. The key to this look is to keep it looking neutral and add just the token neon item to liven things up. Start with this gorgeous cream skirt suit from Peacocks. The skirt and the jacket will set you back just £36.00 for the pair and will create a fabulous base for your Sports Chic look. Their subtle colouring and classic shape makes them stand alone wardrobe basics too so you're guaranteed to get frequent use out of them.

Queens of Neon. Accessorise your suit with this gorgeous neon detail bag from Asos. It costs just £17.75 and epitomises the sports chic style with a muted tan base coupled with vibrant flashes of neon. You can pick up a matching belt from New Look for just £5.00 to add the finishing touch to your sports chic outfit.

1990s Remix. It is perfectly acceptable to mix neon colours, if you're feeling daring add in a yellow stripe or even lime green if you're particularly feeling the 1990s retro look. We particularly like this flourescent vest from American Apparel. At just £15.00 it is the perfect bargain buy for creating your own alternative sports chic ensemble. Customising this trend to your own taste will single you out from the hoards of other fashion followers and will allow you to easily mix and match any new purchases with your existing wardrobe so don't forget to keep it plucky and personal.
