Striped Skirt Skater Dress from AX Paris

I've been keeping half an eye on this season's Celebrity Big Brother - not so much for the actual CBB shenanigans themselves, but more to see what presenter Emma Willis is wearing! I'm really admiring her taste and style at the moment.

I have spotted her wearing a couple of flared skirted skater dresses with a horizontal stripe across the skirt.  The first one was a monochrome one, paired with a gorgeous black coat (allegedly from Hobbs - maybe this Maisie one?) for the winter weather.  I've found a very similar dress at AX Paris on sale for just £14.99 (reduced from £25).  As with all skater dresses, it's a really flattering shape and I'd pair with black tights and ankle boots for a cold weather look.

The other dress I have found is this red and black contrast wetlook stripe skater dress, for a bit more of a colour pop.  Again, it's from AX Paris and is reduced from £35 to £19.99 and it would look great teamed with a black coat, tights and boots to see one through the season in style!

Delightful Dress: AX Paris Comic Midi Dress from USC

The comic print trend is still very much en vogue and there are loads of fabulous patterns and styles available.  I've already spotted this brilliant pencil skirt, which I like for its quirkiness and idiosyncrasy and I do love a man in a Superman t-shirt....

But I want more!  And so it shall be.  I have been coveting this AX Paris comic print midi dress from USC for ages now but it's been full price the whole time.  However, it's now on sale - originally £22, it's reduced to just £15.  It will be so easy to wear - simply team with a pair of black patent heels and heads will turn!  This body con dress will really show off one's feminine silhouette - the elastane means it should hold everything in, so don't be scared!  Channel your inner superhero and fly away in style!

Summer Staple: Floral Print Backless Playsuit from AX Paris

With the mid-season sales coming to an end, shops are stocking items for the coming summer months.  Obviously, these will be mostly full-priced, but the canny shopper will be able to pick up some key pieces by checking for discount codes and using cashback sites.

I think this backless playsuit from AX Paris is really cute and perfect for the hotter weather.  The floral, tropical print and the colour combination speaks to me of Caribbean beaches and cocktails.  The bow at the back means that it will fit well round the waist but, what is even better (in my opinion) is the pleat at the front to disguise a less-than-perfect stomach!  The playsuit is £20 but new customers can get 20% off with the code WELCOME20 until the end of the month, which brings it down to £16.
