If you've seen this month's Vogue cover shoot with Alexa Chung you'll understand why we're all getting a little bit over-excited about all the fabulous denim we're seeing coming through this season. Alexa looks amazing in a variety of combinations – from shirts and shorts to dungarees and ripped up jeans. Suddenly, all uncool associations of doubling your denim – from the creepy balding guy who still wears his Levis denim jacket and 501s to your mum in her high-waisted Dunnes Stores numbers and matching shirt – go out the window and denim is shown in a whole new, hyper-hip light. Alexa is the face of Pepe for this season and as a denim ambassador beyond the call of duty, all we can say is that the powers that be must be very happy with her right now. Pepe is at Exchequer St and Dundrum Centre, Dublin as well as stockists including BT2 and Arnotts. For stockists, tel 01 296 3284 or see www.pepe-ireland.ie
Pay homage to the late great Alexander McQueen in one of his seriously iconic skull scarves which are even hotter property now than when they first came out four years ago. Scarf, €175, Alexander McQueen at Brown Thomas
Bold, graphic, trompe d'oeil details from Oasis are already getting our hearts racing this spring. Love this pretty dress which is in store now and priced at €44
* Hot model de jour Rosie Huntington whitely looks absolutely stunning in Monsoon's new collection of lingerie which hits stores right about now and comprises gorgeous vintage-inspired sweet nothings such as this black and grey lace duo. Prices range from €42–€68 for a bra and €30.50–€42 for briefs. Monsoon is on Grafton St, Dublin and nationwide. See www.monsoon.co.uk
* Just launched this month is the ASOS Africa collection which has been designed and produced in collaboration with several small communities in Africa. Think cotton cutwork detail dresses, cropped trousers and hand-beaded leather sandals – all very Dries Van Noten, albeit with a clear fashion conscience. www.asos.com
* Yesterday the Sonia Rykiel knitwear collection for H+M touched down at selected stores in Ireland and we weren't dissappointed. Her signature striped knits, quirky accessories and colourful jackets and skirts are truly unique. One of the best H+M designer collaborations yet. For a store locator, see www.hm.com/ie
