We all know that you have to pay a little bit more for good quality and that is exactly what you get from Ted Baker. Great designs mirroring catwalk trends teamed with fabrics that wear well and fit exquisitely.

The Spring collection is fabulous with a bright airy feel to mirror those longer, warmer days ahead - beautiful.

Crocs have evolved into ballet shoes and mules but still are clearly recognisable as those horrible rubber clog things of last season - YUK.

Come on, they look like shoes worn by people carrying out laboratory experiments or even worse, shoes given to people who might harm themselves with anything remotely sharp or solid.

In short, either way this is white coat stuff and I cannot and will not endorse them in any way,.....oh, hang on the original clogs do actually look way cute on little kids. But still they should stop manufacturing adult sizes and tempting those poor soles among us who are obviously experiencing a fashion crisis to make such ridiculous purchases.

PPQ is Amy Molyneaux’s and Percy Parker’s label.
As well as their flagship store on Conduit street London PPQ is stocked in Liberty, Souvenir, The Birdcage, Oli and asos.com.

To follow the trend of Designer/Celebrity collaborations in the fashion industry, Peaches Geldof is designing an autumn/winter capsule collection for PPQ. Peaches will create a line of handbags, dresses and separates for the London label – with her signature Nu-rave-meets-Goth style.

I particularly like this belted silk/satin duppion ruffle jumpsuit available from asos.com

River Island is not always my first port of call but I believe they have really got things on track with their Spring/Summer '08' collection.

I have picked out my favourite 7 from day to evening wear with a couple of accessories to liven up existing outfits. The lemon tier dress is reasonably priced at £44.99 and all other items are below £30.
