If you have a number of different things going on during the coming months, then it is best to plan ahead and start organising your wardrobe as soon as possible. You don’t want to be left without a stitch to wear do you?

If you are searching for some formal outfits for summer, then we have created a few outfit ideas for you to try. Below are some looks we have put together for you to take inspiration from. Browse our ideas and see if you can find something suitable for your summer events.

At The Races

Make sure you are looking smart and stylish for your day at the races with this look. No ladies day outfit is complete without a fancy hat and a stunning dress. This look ticks all the boxes for a day at the races.

There are so many different subcultures these days that sometimes it can be hard to keep up with them all. Indies, Goths, Emos, Hipsters, Punks and more make up our modern world. A lot of designer labels take inspiration from these sub cultures and use their clothing choices to influence their latest collections. This then descends to the catwalks and then on to the high street, where people will then pick up these pieces and add them to their wardrobes. You may not realise it, but there is sure to be something in your closet that has been influenced by a popular sub culture.

A lot of famous designers have made their name by creating collections inspired by these sub cultures. Vivienne Westwood is one example, she first started out by producing collections inspired by bikers and later went on to create pieces centred around punk rock trends. This propelled her to fashion fame and she is now one of the most well know clothing designers in the world.

Another well know sub culture that inspired a generation of fashion is Mod. Many designer labels started out by creating clothing for the young Mods. Since the 1950’s, the Mod sub culture has been centred on having a particular look and style which is achieved by choosing certain clothing items. Doc Martens, khaki parkas, check shirts, polo tops, denim jeans and narrow ties were all seen as Mod wardrobe essentials. Designer labels including Lambretta, Pierre Cardin and Yves Saint Laurent have all been part of the Mod style at one time or another. Today you will still find many recognisable clothing items which resemble true Mod fashion. 

The new season is finally here and a chance to change our wardrobe for the warmer weather. Spring is a great time to start a new look, plus there are plenty of designers out there offer great collections from which you could choose from. Whatever your taste in fashion may be, there is sure to be a brand out there that is ideal for you.

Prey of London is a label that creates a unique collection of clothing for women. The designer is one that produces laid back grunge-esque pieces, ideal for those who don’t want to jump into too much colour this spring. Their latest collection sees a superb range of womenswear that you will love adding to your wardrobe. Here we have picked a few of our fave pieces and styled them up with some other items for outfit inspiration for the new season. 

This Prey of London stripe maxi dress is the ideal spring piece for grunge lovers. Cover up with this Miss Selfridge leather jacket, some New Look ankle boots and a long necklace from House of Fraser for a truly laid back look.

Many of us are interested in celebrities and their everyday lives. What they wear, what they eat and what they do are all topics of conversation that you will find in magazines and on gossip blogs. One area of a celebrity’s life that many people are fascinated by are ‘A’ listers and their pets. Famous faces are often seen walking their dogs or taking their pets out, held in their designer handbags of course, or sometimes even taking them along to celebrity events. A small number of pets are probably just as famous as their owners after being seen out and about often with their A list owners.

So who are these celebrity pets? Well if you are yet to discuss these pampered animals, then here are just a few of the most talked about pets around.
