Fast track to London Fashion Week Spring Summer 2010 style

Chomping at the bit to show your style credentials and work some SS10 magic into your AW09 wardrobe? Well, it's a happy Friday as we bring you your early bird update on the top trends from LFW and our fave Warehouse pieces available right now to help you rock the look and keep ahead of the fashion pack!  

1. Blazers – big for AW and sailing through to next season, as seen on the catwalk at Paul Smith, the oversized blazer is looking to be the ultimate investment buy of the moment.  Our ruched sleeve boyfriend jacket is just the job styled with denim or the ubiqutious peg trouser.

2. Colour clashing - next season it's more on trend to mix and clash your colours up than do colours that "go", with Nicole Farhi and Betty Jackson all showing clashing shades of emereld and salmon and chartreuse with lilac. Snap up our photo flower puffball dress for an instant update of mix match chic. This also ticks the box for the exaggerated shape which is looking to be key for Spring Summer.

3. Big shoulders - they're here to stay, well for Spring Summer at least! Our Do the Shoulder Style Studio video shows the hottest ways to work this look and gives an option to suit every style.

Sequin power!

It's not just us loving our fashion-fabulous sequin blazers at the moment!

The ever lovely Emma Bunton was snapped wearing our black sequin blazer as she met up with her former Spice Girls in Mayfair this week, (minus VB of course, who was getting ready to wow the fash pack with her SS10 collection at New York Fashion Week).

Working the trend to perfection with understated black top and peg trousers, Emma obviously knows the golden rule that when a jacket is that amazing, it speaks for itself!

The trophy jacket continues to take pride of place in this season's hall of fashion fame - take your pick from our understated black, midnight or amazing liquid silver sequinned blazers.

Every girl's best friend...the perfect cardigan

It is THE essential in these times of unpredictable weather...the long cardi! You've been in touch asking for advise on how to pull off this look, so we've pulled together some outfit inspiration that will see you through!

A fine knit cardi is a perfect layer without being too chunky. These celebs are working the look to perfection....  

    

Team with a skinny belt for effortless chic!

Cashmere is one of life's ultimate luxuries, so why not treat yourself?! This 100% cashmere cardi is ridiculously soft (obviously!!) and is keeping cashmere affordable. 

   

Lily is rocking this chunky cable knit. If you are yearning for something a bit different, but want to maintain the magical longer length, this giant cable piece is really eye-catching. Teamed with jeans or leggings, it's really versatile and could be dressed down for work or teamed with heels for a night out - it's a Warehouse favourite!

     

Warehouse gives its fans a treat in Ibiza!

As seen by Sophie Harris, Warehouse Senior PR Officer

Summer is in full swing, and so is the Ibiza party season. Girls strut in glamorous bikinis and full-on sequin dresses while the guys check them out behind aviator sunnies.   Warehouse made their annual debut to the Ibiza scene during the August bank holiday weekender to help cool things down in the scorching heat and celebrate the new online delivery to Europe!

Heading across the Island in the Warehouse jeeps on Saturday armed with goodies, we hit the famous sunsets of San Antonia, passing along Café Mambo and Café Del Mar to distribute Warehouse fans…the perfect cooling device in the sweltering heat to help girls enjoy the sunset while keeping their makeup firmly in place for the big night ahead  

Sunday was a BIG one…making our way along the sandy beaches in Playa Den Bossa and funky new beach bars, Delano, Sands and Ushuaia, gorgeous Warehouse girls handed out fans to the much appreciated crowds trying to keep cool as things started to heat up…Warehouse bikinis and sunglasses were given out as an extra treat for the girls! Playa Den Bossa is definitely the place to be seen this summer; the queues to get in and the immaculate ‘effortless’ styling of girls only confirmed this.

As the parties kicked in we arrived at We Love at Space to greet clubbers. The much loved terrace was in full swing and Warehouse fans spread across the club so they could concentrate on the dancing and not worry about the heat! It was great to spot a few Warehouse dresses amongst the party. Warehouse loves, loves, loves ‘We Love’ at Space…. but then who doesn’t?   A final spread of Warehouse fans at the San Antonia sunset on Monday night and the Warehouse job was done…. almost everyone had their Warehouse fans on hand during their holiday which we spotted across all parts of Ibiza, and clubbers were left ready to start shopping online for the new collections  

It was time to say farewell to the party gals favourite Island of Ibiza…well until next year anyway!
