Have you noticed that Mary-Jane has had a make over? Once confined to school-girls and church-goers, Mary Jane shoes are now adorning the feet of celebrities, starlets and wild child party animals everywhere.
I was lead to believe that the days of patchwork pieces had gone with the 2003 hippie trend. I was so wrong! Because if Miss Selfridge is stocking it, it has to be a trend... again, right??? Well, I don't know what to think about it!

Perhaps almost as a slap in the face to the Mini Dress Trend, celebrities have been spotted around wearing long, ankle length casual dresses. It's a shock to the system after wearing teeny tiny dresses for so long.
Jessica Biel was seen playing ball with a dog in the park, wearing a long figure hugging blue dress. The Olsens have been known to dress up their long dresses as well as wearing long black skirts casually with oversized sunnies.
A classic suit may be forever; but suits can also be brought up-to-date with a few easy wardrobe tricks. Here are ten of the hottest ways to make your work-wear more interesting, right now:
1. Take an oversized suit jacket and wear it as a mini-dress. Take a long or oversized jacket, put it over an equally-oversized singlet or shirt; add opaque tights, some sexy pumps and there you have it! If the jacket isn't quite long enough to be worn as a dress, add a super-short, super-tight black miniskirt.
2. Try it with wide-leg, high-waist pants. Tuck in a shirt or tee, add a great belt. This won't be suited to everybody, but can certainly work if done right.

Unless you've been living in a country sadly devoid of a fashion sense, it'll come as no surprise to you to hear that the Boho look is dead. Actually, let's expand on that. As a major trend, it's certainly no longer mainstream - but don't go throwing out your clothing and boots just yet, we're sure they've still got plenty of wear left in them depending on how you match and accessorise them. After all, if you couldn't get away with it we wouldn't have given you tips for getting Boho bed hair only yesterday, would we?
But what's the replacement?
First sold in 1917 and once a feature of the grunge look, Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars (also known simply as Chucks) have moved steadily from subculture to main stream. Comfortable as a day shoe, though incredibly casual they've been dressed up and down and have been seen on everyone from Sienna Miller to Doctor Who.
While Sienna Miller gains street-cred from the Chucks, David Tennant's Doctor Who defines geek chic.

Pinafore dresses have been around for a while now, but have maintained their popularity thanks to brands like Topshop, Sixonesix and Paul and Joe. Pinafore dresses look great with black tights and boots, and even with a white tee underneath.
