Fred bikini from Tesco
Earrings from leblas.com
May 24, 2009
VOL 26 NO 21
Oversized pink jacket, €49.90, H+M
White bandeau style dress, €110, Monsoon
The Detail - Crinkly bottoms
Loving all the new looks in denim this season, and while a few short months ago I was laughing at the baggy nappy pants effect, I have to admit that now I am really warming to it. There is no doubting that these harems from Miss Selfridge are a little OTT but isn't that the fun of it all? Wear them loud and wear them proud and if someone hums 'Can't Touch This' as you pass by don't say I didn't warn you. Available, from €40, from Miss Selfridge, Dublin, Galway, Letterkenny and Cork. For stockists see www.missselfridge.com.
The Steal - Tesco al fresco wear
They've started matching euro to the pound for all Tesco's clothes, which makes this Florence and Fred bikini a total steal at just €10. Race you there!
The Statement - Flash the cash
Sustainable feelgood fashion doesn't get much better than these 100% recycled chainmail earrings from the new Filigree collection at online ethical jeweller leblas.com. At €325, they ain't cheap, but isn't that what it's all about? Better to have a few nice things than lots and lots of disposable clutter; www.leblas.com.
