Well, as Emma and I posted the other day, we were absolutely horrified by the quality of our maxi skirts that arrived from Boohoo and within 6 minutes of the packages being opened we had agreed that they were poorly made and poor material. We sent them back the next day, basially as fast as we could walk to post office outside of work hours.

We then, without waiting for our refunds were tempted by Asos (da** you ASOS – as I shake my fist as the computer) and we ended up buying maxi skirts from them instead. What made it worse is that we bought the exact same skirt, in the exact same colour. Whether that means we have the same amazing taste, or the same appaulling fashion sense, I don’t know, but our bright blue stretchy jersey maxi skirts arrive this morning and we couldn’t be happier. I have yet to try it on, but I have a feeling as Asos is yet to let me down, that it wont disappoint, especially as I cant see my fingers through the fabric, unlike the tracing-paper fabric of the Boohoo monstrosity!

Anyway, piccie of my skirt below. I need to get a nice camera and start taking pics of the things we buy! If any millionaires out there fancy sending me a camera, I am open minded

Obviously we will look better in our skirts that the model, so don’t let the image fool you about the loveliness of the skirt!

I have become completely and utterly obsessed with Jeffrey Campbell shoes! It hit me right out of the blue… And now Motel Rocks are selling them, I just can’t get them out of my head.

They suit the Motel Rocks style Perfectly… and I own so much of it that it’s only fair I own a pair of JC’s too right? The designs are so original, Lady Gaga herself would be proud.

Motel ROCKS!! - and if you havent already seen their sale, make sure you do it now!

Too old to wear a playsuit? Thats the question I ask myself everytime I open a magazine style section, everyone is talking about them. But what makes a playsuit wearable for a woman in her mid-thirties, without looking like mutton dressed as lamb?

I think it boils down to a number of different factors, get them right and you’ll look sexy and on trend, get them wrong and you’ll end up looking like you’re wearing a babygrow.

Traffic People PlaySuit

Firstly, is the all important confidence. You have got to feel comfortable in your playsuit, Which means choosing one that suits you. Go for something simple that you can easily dress up or dress down, depending on your mood and the occasion. What occasions would you wear a playsuit to? I would have to say that you have got to pick your audience. Wearing a playsuit to your gran’s Birthday party, would probably be a wrong move, unless you want to stand out like a sore thumb. However, If you choose the right accessories for your playsuit you can wear it on holiday as you stroll along the beach, a day out at the races or even a night out. Though you need to pick a versitle style if you want to wear your playsuit over and over again.

Shoes are very important as an addition to your playsuit, they help you decide on the mood for the whole outfit. High shoes will make your playsuit a statement and give a sexy night-time look, whereas flat shoes give you a more casual look for those hot summer days and holiday strolls. I think that Wedges look great with a playsuit as they are a summer staple for your wardrobe, and make your outfit sexy but not too dressed up, which is the look we are going for at our age.

Accessories often make the outfit, If you’re playsuit is plain, choose a statement necklace which grabs attention, brings your outfit up to date and bang on trend. If your Playsuit is patterned, limit yourself to a small necklace and a few bangles as you definately don’t want to over do it and risk ruining the playsuit look altogether. You could even add a silk scarf to your playsuit on a chillier day or add a waist belt if you want to? Dont be afraid to add a cardigan to your outfit, be it a cropped cardigan or a big oversized wooly one. Both will look great on those Chillier days.

Cleavage is definately a one to watch where Playsuits are concerned. Showing too much cleavage will give your playsuit the completely wrong message, you are trying to be understatedly sexy and not tarty and tacky. If you can find a playsuit with a mid neck, that is perfect, definately do not go near one with a deeply plunging neckline, not a good idea at all!

Beyonce’s effort below is perfect:

Leg Length is also something you have got to watch out for, try to find a playsuit with longer legs. At our age we shouldnt really be wearing or want to be wearing  hotpant style playsuits where our bums hang out the bottom. Its not attractive and not what other people want to see. If you can, you could wear opaque black tights with your playsuit, especially if you’re nervous, at least until you get confident enough to wear them all summer long!

There’s no reason there should be an age limit on playsuits, as long as you do it right… Good luck!

Ripped jeans are back in fashion! Its official the sexy jeans worn by millions of hot girls back in the nineties are now being seen all over the catwalks. Queen of fashion Britney Spears wore them throughout her recent stay in the capital of fashion- Milan-.

There are many other equally stylish celebs who are now turning their backs on the jeans that have been all over the high street for the past few years and are preferring the laid back LA look that comprise of stylish stone wash ripped jeans. So if you want the hottest new season look around then remember it pays to be an early bird in fashion and have your finger on the pulse.

Cameron Diaz is another hot LA star who has been quick to embrace the ripped jeans look and she looks drop dead gorgeous with her white juicy vest and reef sandals. Its not just LA celebs who can get this great look, check out the sexy collection of celeb inspired hudson jeans at boredofthehighstreet now!!

Vintage dress- another fine example of an amazing dress that won’t break the bank. The vintage dress from Boredofthehighstreet will make you look as colourful and sexy as you want this weekend but will still leave you with enough money to splash out on some great ballet pumps or leggings to wear with it!!

Celebs are going nuts over vintage fashion, and Lily Allen has just become the face of Motel- the king of vintage fashion-A vintage dress doesn’t have to be something you find at the back of a dusty charity shop, it doesn’t even have to be second hand, it just has to be a vintage dress that is different from all the boring generic dresses sold in the shops. Places like topshop and new look are full of cheap vintage dresses but they are actually all made from really cheap fabrics so will fall apart the first time you wash them, and you wont get much vintage wear out of them.

For a real vintage dress then you need to be looking for a timeless dress that has all the right key factors. All of the dresses Lily Allen wears are made from the same gorgeous flowery fabric so its vital to find a dress in the same style, we love the Diesel bandeau dress that is a perfect example of vintage fashion form a modern brand. Or for a cheaper option any of the fast fashion dresses are beautiful dresses that would not look out of place in a sixties inspired catwalk.

Its no all about choosing the right fabric though as many of Motels best sellers are sold time and time again because of their unique cut, the classic cut of sixties dresses is much more flattering than the bland cuts sold on the high street today. From topshops dresses that are only made for stick thin models to the huge number of cheap brands that only offer dresses that are designed to pinch you in in all the wrong places.

With the huge selection of vintage dress at Boredofthehighstreet you will be rivaling lily Alen in the fashion stakes this weekend.

Flower bandeau dress- this dress is the perfect dress to add some summer time fun to your wardrobe. Kelly Brook showcased this stunning flower bandeau dress when she made her first appearance on Britain’s got talent! Yes Kelly decided it was time to turn the tables on Amanda Holden and show her how its done in this great dress.

Kelly Brook is a real fan of fashion and if its good enough for her then its certainly going to guarantee you some attention on the dance floor. The flower bandeau dress has been seen in all the hottest mags like heat and fashion bible to the stars vogue. If you are keen to look as hot as Kelly Brook in her flower bandeau dress then check out the huge collection of these dresses available now.

With amazing off the shoulder dresses coming in some great vintage prints it seems there has never been a better time to showcase your new vintage wardrobe. Kelly knows that new beau Danny will love the feel of this great dress against the skin and so will be falling head over the heels for her!

If you fancy bagging a great hunk like Danny then be sure to slip into a sexy bandeau dress for a great new guy that is bound to make you the envy of all your friends.

A luxurious satin dress is the perfect weekend dress to outsmart other girls in the clubs and get all the boys attention in! The satin dress is much sexier than other dresses on offer and whenever I step out in mine I am always guaranteed to get heaps of attention, what’s more I don’t even have to spend any money as all night I am surrounded by hot guys wanting to buy me drinks.

A satin dress does not have to be expensive either with some costing very little, and because a satin dress is one of the most vintage items around you can be sure it will still look just as hot next year. A big question that lots of fashionable girls wonder is what colour satin dress to go for? Well I think it really depends on your colouring but I would say the hottest and by far the most flattering satin dresses around are the classic black satin dresses, these will definitely guarantee you masses of attention from all the men.

If you still aren’t sure then check out the super sexy satin dress that was seen on the Saturdays Vanessa, this dress was drop dead gorgeous and made her a real winner thanks to her great figure and the black dress really brought out the colour in her hair.

I love the satin dresses at boredofthehighstreet at the moment and am sure you will do to, there are some amazing dresses from low cut satin baby doll ones to sexy satin dresses with a bow!
