Delightful Dress: Sequin Pattern Skater Dress from Fashion World

A girl can never have too many dresses so here's another one!  Fashion World is an online and mail order catalogue company, focusing on plus-size womenswear from sizes 12 to 32.  They have a great variety of on-trend, quality clothing, shoes and accessories, all designed to flatter and compliment all figures.

This sequin patterned skater dress is perfect for summer. The design is delicate, the colours subtle and pretty.  Skater dresses flatter curves enormously, by drawing in the waist and then skimming the hips and thighs; this particular dress goes one step further - by having a pleated skirt, it will hide any lumps and bumps and create a wonderful, girlie silhouette.  Being cotton and elastane, it will be cool and fit well.  It's a fantastically, versatile, savvy purchase - I'd team with casual sandal wedges and a cardi in the day or nude heels and a pashmina for the evening.

I think this dress is great value already at just £27.50, but new customers can get 10% off with code CQHC5, which is ongoing until the end of the year.  It's available in sizes 12 to 22.

What's your preferred dress style?  Would you wear a shorter skater dress like this or do you prefer a maxi?  Or something more fitted?  Let me know in the comments below!

Terrific Top: Lemon Spotted Sleeveless Blouse from Dorothy Perkins

Sleeveless blouses are great for the warmer months.  They can be worn casually with shorts and flat sandals or dressed up so one is smart but cool in the office.  A simple, cotton white one is a wardrobe staple but other colours and patterns are always a good thing!

Yellow is the perfect colour to celebrate the sun finally making an appearance and this lemon, spotted sleeveless blouse from Dorothy Perkins is delightful and summery.  There's currently up to 30% off selected items at Dorothy Perkins, so it can be bought for £18.20 (usually £26) - but hurry as the offer ends at midnight tonight!  The blouse comes in sizes 6 to 22.

Splendid Skirt: Naomi Flocked Aztec Skater Skirt from Boohoo.com

Congratulations to Boohoo, who have just won 'Best Online Retailer' in ITV's Lorraine's High Street Fashion Awards 2013.  To celebrate, they are offering 15% off everything online till 27th May with code OFFER15, so a good time to take advantage!

This Aztec patterned skater skirt combines three key trends of SS13 - the tribal-inspired print, pastels and the skirt style - in an understated, pretty and chic manner.  Perfect for warmer months, it will look great combined with a simple white t-shirt or vest top and sandal wedges.  Normally just £20, it's £17 with the discount and comes in sizes 8 to 14.

Splendid Skirt: Ainara Lace Crochet Skirt by Malene Birger from my-wardrobe.com

The sun has brought clothing palettes out in a yellow fever apparently!  Yellow is a great way to update and brighten one's wardrobe for Spring and Summer, so incorporate accents of lemon, ochre and gold but avoid wearing head to toe yellow. Choose one bold piece to make a statement and complement the look with perfectly sun kissed - but safe - skin.

I am loving this crochet layer midi-length pencil skirt from By Malene Birger, available at my-wardrobe.com.  As ever, a pencil skirt is versatile and feminine and this one will work really well with a crisp blouse or masculine shirt and blazer for a chic workwear look.  It's £199 but new customers can get £50 off purchases of £180 or more by entering the code MYNEWTREAT50 at the checkout until 26th May.

Over the Top: Pink Minimal Blazer from A|Wear

It's still the perfect time for blazers and I really like this pastel pink, collarless blazer from A|wear, who are now offering up to 70% off in their sale.  Slightly tailored, it nips in at the waist for a flattering silhouette and the delicate colour is perfect for the season.  The lack of collar makes it more interesting and different to the average blazer!  As with all jackets like this, it would be great with skinny jeans and flat pumps, but it could be glammed up easily with a dress and heels.  Originally £60, it's now £42 in sizes 6, 12, 16 and 18.

Delightful Dress: Fashion Targets Breast Cancer Sleeveless Tie Waist Tea Dress from Laura Ashley

Breast cancer is a cause close to my heart and I try to do what I can to support charities and research in relation to it.  Fashion Targets Breast Cancer is a way to try to raise funds for Breakthrough Breast Cancer through the sale of specially designed products which are sold in various stores and online; generally, at least 30% of the price of the item goes to the charity.

The range can be found via the website, but I have chosen this gorgeous pastel pink silk tea dress which is available from Laura Ashley.  A cotton and silk mix, it will feel luxurious and keep you cool for those upcoming summer outdoor events.  It comes in sizes 12 - 20 and is £95 but 30% will go to Fashion Targets Breast Cancer so it's almost like using a discount for global benefit!  And, of course, you could always try using a cashback site in the first place.

In addition, there is currently 30% off selected fashion, as well as homeware offers, at Laura Ashley with free delivery for orders over £50, so well worth a look.

Nifty Knitwear: Striped Point D'Esprit Panel Sweater from Forever 21

There's some lovely, great value and contemporary items at Forever 21 which prides itself on being style conscious and trend-savvy.  Today only (21st April), they are celebrating their birthday with 21% off with the code BDAY21, so it's a great time to stock up!

I love this unique lightweight stripey jumper with a mesh panel and peter pan collar.  It's perfect for spring with its gorgeous pastel pink and white colours and short sleeves and will look fab with a skirt or shorts.  Available in sizes S - L (4 - 12 UK) it's normally £14.75 which is a bargain even without the discount!
