The Very Special Kids Fashion Sale THIS SATURDAY!!!

I wanted to share with you all a very special event held this Saturday, 'The Very Special Kids Fashion Sale.' The event provides a feel-good shopping experience whilst supporting such a wonderful cause. Every bargain that you snap up will raise funds for children with life-threatening conditions. The event is held twice a year and relies on the generosity of clothing retailers to donate samples, surplus and end-of-line clothing, shoes and accessories. The incredible and devoted staff of 'Very Special Kids' together with corporate volunteers prepare thousands of pieces which are sold at reduced prices with 100% of proceeds going to 'Very Special Kids.'

I was fortunate enough to be invited to have an exclusive preview of the variety clothes being prepared for the sale on Saturday 29th June. I felt like a kid in a candy store and had a ball playing dress ups as you can see below. I was so excited to see so many leading brands for an absolute bargain.

Labels and designers included Anna Rita N, Alex Perry, David Lawrence, Fate, Jacqui E, JAG, Lee, Megan Park, Portmans, Pacific Brands, Sass, Witchery, Review, Trelise Cooper and more. You will find high quality female corporate wear, semi casual and casual clothing along with shoes and accessories as well as mens and children's casual clothing. All products are sold at a crazy 90% off retail price. This year the Fashion Sale will also feature stylist workshops and a café area.

You'd be mad to miss out on 'The very Special Kids Fashion Sale.' While adding some quality pieces to your wardrobe you will be making a difference to so many children's lives by donating to 'The very Special Kids Organisation.

Get The "TWEED" Look.

Whenever I see a garment made in tweed I immediately think of Coco Chanel's elegant straight-cut tailored tweed jacket that became a worldwide sensation. This jacket has been referred to as a revolution in the way women dress. Chanel designed the jacket to allow the wearer the freedom to move.

Karl Lagerfeld once stated that the three wardrobe staples that would never go out of fashion are jeans a white shirt and the Chanel jacket. Since Lagerfeld has taken over the house, he has experimented with colours and reinvented tweed in inspiring ways, whilst maintaining the spirit of the original design and it's intention.

I styled my tweed dress below with a leather fur trimmed jacket to help create a more edgy look. I have previously styled the dress in a more refined manner, however this time I felt the urge to create stronger statement for winter.

Below I've styled some looks based around 'Tweed' products. All items are available from Highpoint Shopping Centre.

Go 'Bananas' with you style!

Hello lovelies. As much as I adore winter, it's such a tease being on the other side of the hemisphere as the new trends and collections are being showcased to the world. In my look below, I tried to work a summer trend into a casual winter look. I fell in love with this fun banana printed tee. I can't wait to style it with my cherry printed high waisted shorts in summer, to revisit the popular summer fruit print trend. Bold banana prints, cherries, strawberries along with lemons and oranges have been explored through accessories and all types of apparel.

Along with stripes, fruit prints often make a comeback in summer collections. However, they are constantly being reinvented by designers in inspiring ways. For example Dolce & Gabbana have perfectly combined cherries and strawberries with verdant greenery and florals in their collections.

So, why not add an extra piece of fruit to your daily intake and invest in this fun trend

I've styled some fruit inspired looks for you below.
