Embellishment is big this season. Whether it's delicate beading on occasion dresses, grecian style metal on maxi dresses or deco inspired embellishment on tops it's important to adorn your wardrobe!
Lauren Conrad from The Hills goes for all out glamour in embellished evening wear.
While Katy Perry proves you can still rock embellishment with laid back style.
Last weekend saw thousands of festival goers cross the sea to hit the Isle of Wight festival. The weather held out which made it the perfect setting for our Graphic Designer, Lisa Barron's first festival experience.
Hear the thrills and spills from Lisa herself...
"As a festival virgin, Warehouse fashionista and ex-Girl Guide I went very well prepared! But, it was my turn up mini shorts that came up trumps - styled with leggings or tights for the chilly evenings or with bare legs by day. They were my festival essential from Friday's Jay-Z performance, to Saturday’s Orbital dance-off and finally Sunday’s Paul McCartney 'Hey Jude' sing-along! Also up there on my festival essentials list were my cut out detail sunglasses. These were perfect not only for when the sun was shining but to hide last nights excesses. My fringed saddle bag gave me that 70's Woodstock vibe! Finally, if you're planning to enjoy festival-fun this summer don’t forget a lightweight scarf - my shabby woven scarf doubled-up as a picnic blanket, umbrella and wind-breaker!"
Ascot starts today! From now until Saturday, ladies in their finest will be heading to the famous racecourse for a day of bets, champagne and fabulous frocks. Thursday sees the course play host to Ladies Day so ladies it's time to get shopping!
Of course a beautiful dress is necessary and there are many ways to work the dressed-up look this season.
Delicate and feminine
Nudes and muted tones are huge this season, as is lace. Channel your femininity with this delicate colour palette or opt for pretty lace. Team with a tan heel or wedge to give the look a modern twist.
The classic black dress
Nothing beats the way you feel in your old faithful, black dress. Why not treat yourself to a new one this season?
Make a statement
Whether it's with heavy embellishment, bold colour blocking or an impactful print, make a statement in occasionwear.
The final roadshow of our nationwide tour of the country as the style partner to Elite Model Look 2010 was in London this Saturday. Covent Garden's Market Square played host to the roadshow which was buzzing from start to finish. Girls queued in their hundreds to be Elite's next big supermodel and to strut their stuff on the catwalk in front of the judges. Over 200 hundred entrants were whittled down to seven finalists.
The Warehouse Style Studio was in full swing throughout the day, snapping the stylish ladies of Covent Garden.
Plus, those that posed for the Style Studio were entered to win a shopping spree every hour on the hour throughout the afternoon.
From 12pm our Covent Garden store gave complimentary drinks from beauty water, Sip and delicious cupcakes from The Artisan Cupcake Company to our shoppers whilst our DJ played the hottest tracks.
Elite models graced the catwalk wearing the must-have looks from our SS10 collection throughout the afternoon.
We can't wait for the final, keep eye out for updates!

See you there!
This week, everyone in the office is wearing the Rose Print Harems. In a lightweight fabric and tailored fit they are a flattering shape. Throw in that fabulous, floral print and you've got yourself a wardrobe staple for the season!
Perfect with heels and a silk cami for the evening or team with a jersey basic from our definitives range and some sandals for chic summer day-wear.
Right now, everyone in the GLAMOUR office thinks I'm furiously typing away at some very important document. I AM furiously typing, but it's my credit card details into the Warehouse website on this lot. Which is also important in its way - we can't have a magazine editor badly dressed now, can we? There are some amazing buys online right now and these are the things I'm totally in love with.
The Striped Festival Parka
It's refreshing to see the this great staple in my favourite colour navy, it'll stand out in the sea of khaki ones. But I won't wear mine near a festival (ugh, muddy toilets), but rather with cropped trousers and heels to the office. That's what I love about the sporty trend, the versatility.
The Drape and Tab Cardi
Just brilliant for the slouchy/layering trend - the perfect cover-up in these 'it's sunny! Oh no wait, it's raining! Um, did I just feel snow? No, it's the sun out again' weather patterns we have in England.
The Silk Utility Shirt
Fantastic with jeans or chic wide-leg trousers and a great one to make the transition to autumn/winter with all those 70's trouser shapes around.
The Metal Sections Stretch Bracelet and Discs and Beads Stretch Bracelet
I cannot go past a chunky cuff. So I'll have both thanks.
The Lace Ruffle Sleeve Dress
You know those annoying times when you don't know if you're supposed to go out to something really dressed up or a bit casual/underplayed? This dress is made for those confusing situations.
Our fab 20% off discount that we are running with Glamour magazine is still going strong. Utilise yours until midnight on Thursday 10th June.
Every fashionista worth her salt knows that florals are huge this season. Ditsy, vintage florals are the look de jour at Warehouse and we are loving florals on just about everything. Get style credentials by teaming your florals with bleached and faded denim and slouchy, laid back tailoring. Finally top off your outfit with fringed, leather accessories for a look that harks back to the grunge looks of the 90's.
